This book was the basis of a Parks and Recreation episode earlier this season, and lo and behold, an actual tie-in exists in real life. I received said tie-in book for Christmas and have been reading it a few sections at a time for two months now. I enjoyed it, but must admit that a great deal of the book seemed like a rehashing of great moments from the TV show, now in print form. Of course, that's both understandable and permissible - how does one make a 220-page book about a fictional town without focusing heavily on the elements already canon to said fictional town? This was definitely something a big Parks and Recreation fan like me would enjoy reading, but is by no means going to get a non-fan to become interested in the show itself.
