Rating:  Summary: I'd give it no stars if it had that option, this is [bad] Review: I keep a very open mind when it comes to politics but this man is so far removed from the truth it's stupid. Statements that minus fact equal zero. This is just a garbage, save your money and buy a newspaper rather then this hateful diatribe against a decent president. He should eat less, work out more and enjoy life rather than be so narrowminded about life, politics and people he's never even met.
Rating:  Summary: What a hypocrite Review: Here is a guy with marginal talent who is making a ton of money, and he has the gall to diss the same system that is paying him large.I notice that his stuff is copyrighted. Hey Mike. Power to the people. Let 'em copy off your book and distribute it for free! Read about your little incident in Britain. Weren't getting enough money there, so you went into a tizzy. Your theme in this book is right in one respect. There is a lot of injustice in this world. One of them is that you are a best-selling film maker/author.
Rating:  Summary: Oh please... Review: Moore's a sharp guy - sharp enough to produce a biting documentary "Bowling for Columbine". I sometimes agree with what he says but this is not one of them. This is a terribly-written left-wing rant at best. Those who belong in the political left should enjoy this book, but as with any agenda-ridden books like these, not terribily accurate or entertaining. Blanket, emotional statements without fact-checking is everywhere, but that's his prerogative - this is a free country. As an Asian-American, I never could really understand some white men trashing their own so much - does that make them feel like they are better than the rest of the white men like Moore does?
Rating:  Summary: Waste of time Review: If you like a book full of rants and raves unsupported by any facts, then this is the book for you. If, however, you are looking for any insight, read something else. Michael Moore seems to feel that banging out his somewhat random thoughts on a keyboard is an excuse for a book. I felt that every minute I spent with his book was a minute of my life wasted. By this review I hope to spare other the same fate.
Rating:  Summary: The State Of The Nation, By Michael Moore Review: Stupid White Men..., a book about America as seen through the eyes of comedian Michael Moore, is very funny, satirical, flippant, refreshing, and enjoyable. There is sometimes more truth said in jest. It's really "the state of the nation, by Michael Moore" ------ America, the way it is. I came away from it laughing, but begging for answers to the way it ought to be ------- the way our founders, especially Thomas Jefferson, said it was supposed to be. On a friend's recommendation, I went on to read Norman Thomas Remick's book, West Point: Character Leadership Education, A Book From The Readings And Writings Of Thomas Jefferson, an easy reading yet epic story about the foundations of America that does tell you the way it's supposed to be.
Rating:  Summary: Funny and Disturbing Review: This book is hilarious, but the truth in what he writes is really quite sad. He has the uncanny ability to make us laugh about the very sorry state of our country.
Rating:  Summary: This book changed my life Review: After watching Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" documentary, I read his book and Glassner's "Culture of Fear" back to back. Both prompted introspection, reflection, and a questioning of my political philosophies. While the book is supposed to be humorous, to me, nothing is funny. But the dark humor did make reading about very controversial topics more entertaining. Most important, it is filled with many stories of real people, facts, and statistics that impacted my outlook on politics and society. Regardless of your affiliations or positions, I recommend "Stupid White Men" because, from time to time, I think everyone should re-evaluate his or her beliefs. I am an avowed partisan Democrat, but the case that Moore makes quite well causes me to struggle with ascertaining the difference between the only two parties we have to choose from. And that's a good thing. Is there a difference? Read this book and decide for yourself.
Rating:  Summary: Great Book Review: I didn't expect that I would like this book but since my friends were reading it, I decided to read it too. It was really well written and I enjoyed it very much. The beginning is great and the middle is good but the end got a little boring. Other than that, it was a very good book.
Rating:  Summary: Well intentioned but not informative Review: This book is probably not worth reading, other than as a primer for those who are interested in the problems relating to Corporatism, but know very little. The first chapter (talking about the 2000 election), is decent, as is the end. Everything in between is pretty much a bad attempt at humor, and is not very funny and definitely not informative. I'd skip it if I were you and read something a little more educational by Nader or Chomsky.
Rating:  Summary: Oops! Review: Let's not mention Mike's shaky past educational experiences or the fact that he's unable to come up with Act 2 of his one-trick pony career. This book is as boring as watching Hillary Clinton mix a salad.
