I decided to listen to this book after my brother got me hooked on watching the TV show Parks and Rec. I thought that Amy had a fun storytelling voice and the tales are funny and interesting. My favorite parts were definitely those that were related to Parks and Rec. Stories about the cast and some really great behind the scenes facts. I didn’t always find myself being able to relate to Amy or sharing her humor, but overall I really enjoyed the read.

Hooked from the start
I'm a big fan of this kind of TV show, I was hooked from the 1st episode and couldn't wait for the next one each week. The storyline was carried though very well and acted very well by the 2 main characters. It has made me want to read the books it is based on to see what's next for this series

Must watch, for so many reasons
This is an extraordinary piece of TV history. Everything is pitch perfect from beginning to end. Often it is difficult to watch, especially during the first two episodes, but you always feel that it's important to keep watching. A cautionary tale if ever there was one but also a homage to all of the people affected by the accident. Brilliantly made, deftly written and with masterclass acting on show. It deserves all the praise received so far.

I always wanted to have my own movie...
This wacky take on DC Comics teen titans characters and based on the tv show of the same name, aims and pokes fun at everything from deathstroke and deadpool, justice league and guardians of the galaxy and DCs mainstream movies.

Although very childish, this humorous light hearted take on DC characters may have been needed after so many failed DC projects and is personally welcomed by myself.

Great animations and perfect jokes based on facts are an exceptional blend.

Also been watching the first movie in the 7 movie franchise that started with this back in 96 who knew 27 years later there would be 7 of these movies all staring Tom cruise as Ethan hunt. As I used to watch the original tv show so I knew what to expect from the movie and I wasn’t disappointed anyway this weekend I intend to watch all the six mission movies again paramount starting with the first and the second one tomorrow after work

I didn't know anything about this series beyond the TV show before I got into it. I certainly hadn't read any reviews on this last volume before reading it either, otherwise, I would have been more prepared for the chaos and confusion. It never crossed my mind that a graphic novel could be canceled just like a tv show, but apparently, that's what happened here and explains a lot.

As I said after reading the first volume, other than the resemblance to Gwen, the TV series is so loosely based on the graphic novel that they really are two different stories. I grew used to the campy, out there-ness (I know it's not a word, but just go with it) filled with just about every supernatural creature Bella Lugosi has ever portrayed. But the way this ended was over the top and felt rushed.

The worst part was the way one of the issues was drawn in a completely different style. It was the artwork that kept me reading past the first volume. That and my natural compulsion to see stories through to the end, unless they are just THAT bad that I can't stomach it. But the overly cartoonish images felt off. Think Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go being crammed together in the same volume. It's just not the same.

If you're looking for a light read and don't care to get too invested in the characters, then this is the series for you.
