Product Description

Product Description
In the Spring of 2007, FAMILY GUY's Lois Pewterschmidt Griffin will be at the centre of a political uprising as she unseats longtime Mayor Adam West under a cloud of scandal to become the first female mayor in the history of Quahog. Shortly thereafter she'll join the ranks of controversial public figures who serve and tell, announcing the publication of her memoir entitled "It Takes A Village Idiot, And I Married One". In addition to Lois' views on the state of public 'affairs', the book will contain contributions from Peter Griffin, who promises to reveal hidden secrets about his wife's tenure in office; Stewie, who provides details of his heinous assassination attempts on his own mother; and from Meg who inflicts her shockingly bad teenage poetry on the constituents of Quahog, as well as entries from Cleveland, Quagmire and the disgraced former Mayor West among others.

3.0 out of 5 stars What the deuce?, 30 Nov 2005
By A Customer
I was really looking forward to reading this book (you can tell where this is going...) but when I flipped through the book which everyone does when receiving a new book, the amount of wasted space and double-lined paragraphs shocked me, and probably more importantly there was a lack of images, design and exciting layout.

However, the actual content of the book is reasonable, but like the show, some of the jokes are purely directed at the American audience. Moreover, you get the strong feeling that it isn't really written by the guys at Family Guy, but instead feel its someone else trying to impersonate Stewie with sometimes lame and lacklustre writing.

Compared to Bart Simpson's "Guide to Life", which is far more interesting to look at and much more entertaining, this really does create the sense its an actual guide to World Domination. You do get occational quotes from several Family Guy members, which are quite funny, and every 5 mins you might stumble across something funny.

For those interested, here are some of the Chapters; Family, Love and the Sexes, Young people today, Parenting, School, Work, TV, Inventions. In total there are 10 chapters.

Unlike the hilarious hit-show, and movie on DVD, this book fails to be a true-classic. Still, worth a read for the die-hards/people with spare time on there hands.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stewie's Guide to World Domination , 15 Feb 2007
By S. Negandhi - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Stewie is my favourite character in family guy, so I had to buy this book. The book is funny, but not as funny as the show.

The book is about Stewie's views on family, love, young people, parenting, difficulties of being a baby, the terrible education system, work, TV, and inventions.

Overall the book is good, but if you buy it thinking it will be as good as the show, you will be slightly disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Family Guy episode guide, 15 Jan 2006
This is a fantastic book! It has everything you could ever want to know about all the episodes from the first three seasons of Family guy and lots, lots more. If you are new to the show or a die hard fan, this book is very interesting and well set out, with lots of colour pictures. Certainly a good buy!
