"Entertaining and full of heart, this is a must for Parks and Recreation devotees." - Publishers Weekly "Filled with hilarious stories and sweet observations, Welcome to Pawnee is a book for any Parks and Rec fan. It's funny and straight from the heart, and it took me back to the absolute joy it was to make this show with people like our dear Jim O'Heir. Jim did a great job of not Jerry-ing this book." - Amy Poehler "It pains me to say anything nice about this undeniably charming book from the actor who played Jerry Gergich. So I won't. I mean, sure, you could chuckle at these delightful showbiz stories or have your heart strings tugged by the various hijinks of the Parks and Rec cast. OR, you could watch season 7, episode 8 of The New Yankee Workshop with Norm Abram on how to build a wooden Clancy Boat--a handsome 10 foot sailing dinghy that will provide many more hours of fun than some dumb actor book.
" - Nick Offerman "Not even Ben Wyatt or Barney Varmn could have put together such a masterful account of the making of the show. Excited to dig in and enjoy the $25 Jim paid me for this blurb." - Greg Levine "Jim's writing is like an old friend telling the best stories I always wanted to hear but never had access to. In other words he KABOOM'ed it." - Paul Scheer "O'Heir's memoir is as sweet and sentimental as the character he portrayed, highlighting the joys of ensemble acting with such a talented group." - Booklist "So anyone who's ever heard me talk about Jim O'Heir knows he's my favorite. He's thoughtful, generous, and occasionally funny.occasionally.
I'm happy to report that I enjoyed this damn thing. Especially since I didn't think he was a great speller. The stories take me back to our P & R days and gives me the warm fuzzies. You may not feel nostalgic (cuz you weren't there), but you will get an idea of what a truly singular experience being on Parks and Recreation was." - Retta "There is no one more qualified to write the definitive Parks & Rec book than the unbelievably hilarious, one-of-a-kind talent we all know & love: Tim--I mean Jim--O'Heir." - Adam Scott "This book is full of lies. Only the Dark Lord himself knows the truth about Pawnee. Do not trust Jerry.
" - Aubrey Plaza "Dammit, O'Heir! You've written one of the best, most heartfelt reminisces of one of the best shows to ever be on TV!" - Patton Oswalt "I vividly remember the very first time I ever spoke to Jim O'Heir. It was season 5's wrap party. Since then I've been a fan. I'm super excited to have my assistant read and tell me about this book!" - Rob Lowe "So glad Jim has written this book and now it's my duty to urge you to 'treat yourself' and your bookshelf to this wonderful memoir." - Aziz Ansari.
