Buffeted on the sea of life, yet their faith and culture anchors them in their new home.
Dr. August J. Molnar, President, American Hungarian Foundation The Other Sister is a vivid and richly detailed story of the immigrant experience in America.

Great book, but no new info for a huge Homer fan...
Format: Hardcover
Neat book, but anyone who is a huge Homer fan, like my husband (who the book was for) will not learn anything new - so I am told. Although there is a ton of great info in there about Homer and his friends/everyday life, it's a huge disappointment to hear that he already knows everything in the book. I guess that's a super-fan for you!

To funny
Format: Hardcover
If you’ve seen the show, then the book is just as funny. It takes all of Homer’s “advice” and puts it into a cute book. I have it on my shelf next to my Duff energy drink

Funny and unexpected
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book for my girlfriend who is a big Ralph Wiggum fan. When it arrived, I was shocked to see what a thorough exploration of the character it was. I'm not saying it's all canon in terms of the show, as i saw some complaints that there was stuff in this book that wouldn't make sense to the Ralph character (such as his love for Lisa) due to them "breaking up" in a past episode, but come on, that's a hogwash complaint. The whole point of this book is to entertain, and it does so in spades, so it comes highly recommended. And this is coming from a huge 'The Simpsons' fan himself.
Oh, and by the way, my girlfriend loved it, too.
