MeliFloyd: Offert à un ami qui a été aux anges de recevoir ce merveilleux livre.
Bien évidemment, le livre de Leslie Knope est aussi à prendre comme complément.

MJ Walters: My first thoughts as I began reading Nick's book (I call him Nick. He's my TV boyfriend, deal.) was SOULMATE!!!! I mean, here's a man who both is and is not Ron freakin' Swanson, making him the best of both worlds, in my opinion. And he has manly facial hair which... okay, I don't really like moustaches, but it is manly. Also, he's originally from Chicago. Yes he is, he's from Minooka IL, which as you should know is Chicago by default because it's north of Kankakee. Technically Chicago is bounded by Kankakee in the south, Lake Geneva in the north, and the Mississippi in the west. And there's a bigass lake to the east which is ours too. This is not my fault, I didn't make the rules.

Then I calmed down and admitted that Nick might not be my soulmate because he seems to have found one in Megan Mullally, a perfectly hilarious woman to whom I willingly relinquish any soulmate claims on Nick. Instead, I believe him to be a kindred spirit. He's smart, he's funny, and he doesn't give a damn what people think of him. I like his politics, I like his attitudes, and I like his style. If that's not a kindred spirit, I don't know what is.

I've seen reviewers complain that this...

Niles: Bought this for a friend's birthday. He's a huge Parks and Recreation fan, as well as a Nick Offerman fan. (But really, who isnt, right?)
I sneakily read the book before I had to mail it off to my friend.
It is just as fantastic as you'd expect a book by Nick Offerman to be.
Very casually written and hilarious from start to finish.
You can practically hear his voice and sarcastic tones in your head as you read it,
Would recommend this to any Parks and Rec / Nick Offerman fan around.

Daniel Mooney: Here the situation.

If you like Ron Swanson. Don't get this book. This is not "Parks and Rec: The novel". This is an autobiography. I think 90% of the complaints are from people who expected this book to be an extension of Ron Swanson character - talking about eating lots of meat and complaining about Tammy 2. Instead, they got a book about an actors rather ideal life in middle America, his entry into the theater world and his struggle to finding acting jobs in LA.

The books is however, HILARIOUS. Nick talks about his life in a very open and honest manner, going over both mistakes and victories. He is middle of the line political person, but also has strong views and yes, a pretty libertarian stance. He pulls no punches making fun of folks who are dependant on technology - since ALOT of folks are depenant, I'm sure many of the complaints here are from folks who were likely irked by his constant ribbing of folks who can't line with Instagram, a GPS and would die with two hours if left alone in the wilderness.

If your an open-minded person (which most people are not) then this is a VERY helpful book. He has alot of earthy advice on everything from drug use, to...

El Lobo: Das Buch hat mich definitiv verändert.
Viele kennen Nick nur aus dem Bereich Comedy wo er natürlich einer der Underdogs, jedoch ebenso eine der vielseitigsten und sympathischsten Interpreten seiner Zunft ist.
Wer der Englischen Sprache mächtig ist wird sich freuen das er hiermit eine Sammlung von Anekdoten und Tipps für ein IMHO schöneres Leben zu finden.
Nick erzählt von Ereignissen die ihn geprägt und verändert haben und wie er damit umging.

Woodworkers, Beef-Fans und vor allem natürlich echte Männer werden sich abends im Ohrensessel mit einem Gläschen Lagavulin ein paar schöne Stunden mit Nick und seinen Erlebnissen machen können. Ein toll geschriebenes Buch welches keine langatmigen Passagen der Langeweile enthält sondern von vorne bis hinten zu begeistern weiß.
