Very funny the book, it is like the biography of Homer, highly recommended the drawings of high quality, I love, although it is small, it does not matter. there are several models, to put the collection together.

I love Lisa. She's practically a yellow version of me LOL.

[Matthew · Rating 2 out of 5]

Without a doubt, a cute little thing, but then again this is mostly just lists of Lisa Simpson-related things and profiles of acquaintances featured in various Lisa-centric episodes and gets pretty tedious rapidly. Overall, too bland to recommend, but the recurring Lisa Simpson: Veterinarian to the Stars comic strip made me chuckle.

Wow. There may be a little more Lisa in me than I'd thought. There might be a Lisa in all of us. At least I hope so.

'The Lisa Book: Simpsons Library of Wisdom' - for the intellectual and therefore the lonely and unappreciated, for the geeky and proud, for the 'The Simpsons' fans, and for the Lisa fans in particular, who love her episodes, especially in the early seasons.

Contained within this little yellow book are a lot of Lisa facts, her likes, dislikes, and famous quotes. Plus there're episode facts and quotes, character bios, and forgotten, interesting tidbits. Also adorable old family photos.

Such a sweet, cute, funny and informative library of wisdom (watch out for the fun facts literally scattered in small print on some pages), as only 'The Simpsons' can deliver it. It has earned a spot on my geek shelf.

Lisa Simpson is the permanently eight-year-old sax-player, vegetarian, environmentalist, feminist, activist, cartoon fan, pony fan, elf fan, doll fan, bookworm, science and history buff, Buddhist, socialist, progressive liberal teacher's pet, and future President of the United States we need at this moment. She loves her family despite not fitting in with them, and they love her back.

She truly is a special girl.

Final Score: 4/5

Again, this was an informative book about the character Lisa haha. But like I mentioned in The Bart Book, it only talks about the main character (LIsa) for 50% of the book and the other 50% is about secondary characters. I did enjoy the comic throughout.
This is another fun book to be added to my collection.

The earlier books in the Simpsons Library of Wisdom series (Lisa, Homer, Bart, Comic Book Guy) seem to have more thought poured into them than the newer ones. Perhaps because the newer ones feel more formulaic. This one was great. It was fun to get to know Lisa, though many of the "facts" could probably be updated as the book came out quite a few seasons ago.

I think this book portrayed one of the best characters in the Simpsons in a very realistic way.

[Paprika Stiletto · Rating 2 out of 5]

It had some funny parts, but overall the book was predictable and boring. I ended up giving it away.

[Iesha (In east shade house at...) · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought The Lisa's Book was creative and the book was a fun read. I recommend the book to any fan of The Simpsons.

I love The Simpsons. This book was amusing but it wasn't exactly what I was in the mood for.
