Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is the first officially published Napoleon Dynamite book by the Fox studio, but they should publish something much better and in-depth for this awesome movie.
This book is exactly what the title claims it is, a book full of quotes from the film. But since fans of the movie ALREADY have all of the best quotes memorized and in daily use, this book is best used by casual fans who might remember some amusing moments, but they didn't get into the film enough to trade quotes with their friends at work, school, or around the house, on a regular basis. Unfortunately, casual fans probably don't care enough to purchase a Napoleon Dynamite book. "Idiots!"
This book could have been better with more photos, bigger photos, photos of Summer Wheatley, (there are NO photos of Summer!), printed larger on the page. The text is mostly large headline text that takes up most of the page, on most of the pages.
The book takes about 15 minutes to read its 92 pages.
The only thing new that I learned is that Corinna is the name of the girl who answers the phone at Pedro's house, and Vern is the name of the little boy on the bus who asks Napoleon what he is going to do today.
This book is not TOO expensive, for what you get, so hardcore fans of the movie might as well buy it for their home libraries, or to leave sitting around as a conversation piece.
What we really need is an official MAKING OF Napoleon Dynamite book! With an infinity of sweet photography of behind the scenes stuff, and a detailed account of how the movie got made. Maybe throw in some interviews and commentary from the ensemble cast, etc.
There is an UNofficial Napoleon Dynamite book out, called "Taming a Liger: Unexpected Spiritual Lessons from Napoleon Dynamite," by Jeff Dunn and Adam Palmer, which is a pretty good read. That book has more insightful observations to consider, for the hardcore Napoleon movie fans.
This book is NOT a rip-off, because it is exactly what it says it is, a quote book. It's just not a very useful book, and a higher quality, more encompassing effort is yet to be officially published.
