I really enjoyed reading this book and the beautiful life lessons it taught me from one of my favourite movies. A great read for any teenager who loves Napoleon Dynamite.

This was somewhat entertaining, but not THAT great. But it’s an easy read.

I really enjoy this little devotional --it keeps me entertained with lines from the movie that I can hear Napoleon saying as I read and it really nails some good spiritual truths. It does seem aimed at the high school crowd, but I think I'm still allowed to get enjoyment out of it, afterall, I enjoyed the movie.

Wasn't at all what I was expecting. I did enjoy it and since I believe everything happens for a reason I took my time in reading each chapter to absorb all that the authors were trying to convay. Makes me want to go back and watch the movie all over again. Will be passing this one on to friends.

I originally bought the book for my then 16 year old son and ended up reading it myself. Our entire family LOVES Napoleon Dynamite, so the book was an enjoyable read, with great spiritual tips even a teen can understand and gain from!

I'm not a big fan of religious books, but this one was very entertaining and enjoyable. Had some good points and a few laugh out loud moments. Of course it helped that I like the movie too.

In which we learn that Jesus has got our back and everything. I rather enjoyed it, a devotional with a rather unusual USP. It helps if you dig a) Jesus and b) Napoleon Dynamite.
