Summary: Judging a book by its cover
Review: Fascinating that after so many reviews this book received an average of four stars. I might be inclined to read it had I not recently seen Mr. Moore's interview on C-SPAN. I particularly enjoyed his rant about the fact that the American Dream is a lie perpetuated by Republicans/conservatives and that we commoners should give up on believing in the Lie. Unless this author was born with a silver spoon in his mouth then I'd say that, based on his indie film success, he's quite the hypocrite for suggesting that we dare not dream of professional success ourselves. Please forgive me if I judge this book by its cover...or author.

Summary: Why bother with facts when Publishing glib comments sells.
Review: I truly don't understand why this book is placed in the category of non-fiction. Non-fiction tends to imply that books must be based on facts and not on make-believe. Mr. Moore presents his facts in an anecdotal format, that is by all means humorous in nature, yet fails to contain any real substance. Numerous quoted facts of Mr. Moore are plain wrong and the rest of the book is narrow-minded and biased. I do not understand why the public enjoys reading such one sided statements on political issues, when tons of material is available that will show both sides of the controversy. Never does Mr. Moore even attempt to allow the other side to offer its view point on any of the issues. The entire point for criticizing and evaluating current political events in a "book form" is that this media allows you time to form your ideas and make your arguments. This book does nothing of the sort. Just like any left or right wing bias this book represents lies as God given truths and allows no dissent or freedom of thought.
If you want to be informed about the world today don't read this book. If you want to laugh at Mr. Moore's silly puns and rantings, then this may be for you. Just don't assume this is serious political commentaries based on real facts or investigative reporting. Read it for what it is "Political Commedy."

Summary: Dude, Where's my barf bag?
Review: This book is so depressing. When you buy this book pick up some poison or a noose so you can kill yourself after reading it. According to Mikey, you can't make it in America because the odds are so stacked against you. Apparently that doesn't apply to him. But look on the bright side, by buying this book you can help him make his Manhattan penthouse mortgage payments!
Corporations are evil unless they are churning in the millions for fat Mikey. Hopefully he will move to a cool Communist country, like North Korea or Cuba. People live really great there!

Summary: Recommended for the ignorant liberal...
Review: Not recommended for the informed liberal (unless you're just looking for a laugh, because this is a funny book). I'm not using the word ignorant in a negative way. According to recent Gallup polls, like 25% of Democrats agree with the war in Iraq and more than 25% of the Democratic candidates support the war on Iraq. That means that there's a lot of ignorant liberals out there and they should definitely read this book. Those on the left that have been paying attention need not read it. Don't get me wrong, I love Michael Moore, but the best part of this book to me is the cover.Mike is a better filmmaker than a writer. He likes making movies better and has pretty much admitted that he only continues to write books because they do so well. His books usually read like one of those mass emails you'd get from "your conservative brother in law". It's like one big giant rant that often leaves out a whole lot of obvious facts that would strengthen his argument. Ok, maybe he's marketing to the low-brow masses and trying to be the liberal Limbaugh. I guess that's Ok as long as he's getting the right message out. Anyway, I found the book to be pretty entertaining and had a few good laughs, but it's not as funny as his first book. Everything Mike says is true and I agree (for the most part) with his political stance. However, if you've been keeping up with current events and you already know about the presidents/republicans/media's lies then you really don't need to read this book. It's all just a humorous rehashing of current events. If you want to be a more informed, educated liberal that has an understanding of history and politics (and you should), you should read some Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky. Reading books by these authors will give you a better understanding of the "whys" and "hows" in regard to recent events. Reading Zinn will help you better understand the government, power, wealth, and history. Chomsky can help you better understand politics and the media. As for Michael Moore, you should read/watch: Downsize This, Roger and Me, The Big One, and Bowling for Columbine.

Summary: Michael Moore: Political Genius
Review: I must say, I found this book just as good as Stupid White Men, It was more interseting and less funny. Anyone who is slightly left of the center politically will enjoy this book, as Michael Moore is funny, and very very informitive. The book even bashes some stupid things librals have done in the past, so it isn't 100% unbalanced. Al Franken had a tendency to close his eyes to the evils of the Democrats, but Moore isn't scared to bash anyone or close his eyes and pretend that everything was ok with his political party (actually Moore is a Green). The only reason I could even dram about giving this book less then a 4 is if I was Rush Limbauh (hypocrit). The only reason why people would give this book a bad review is because they are afraid of letting the truth get out, because they are either blind to the truth, or they are afraid others will see it.

Summary: Don't Believe? Check Out the URL in My Review
Review: This book is absolutely great! Michael Moore explains the REAL Bush Administration's record (not their nice words) like the awful crap that it is, without getting all whiny and hand-wringing about it. I noticed that several "reviewers" attacked this book for being false, and even perpetuated the notion that his film, Bowling for Columbine, was filled with inaccuracies - please see this URL for a clear rebuttal: http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/wackoattacko/

Summary: Michael Moore-on again?
Review: There are only two things wrong with this book, the style and the content. After all, what else is there?
Rating:
Summary: Sloppy, Poorly Written, Full of Errors, Exaggeration
Review: Hard to know where to begin because the book is so biased, so inaccurate and so godawful that it is a delight to see that Michael is in Germany as this is written. His Columbine effort had the rigors of an Oxford Press scholarly effort compared to this quickly-dashed-off screed. The biggest complaints, though are that his reasoning is so flawed, he generalizes from anecdotes, engages in ad hominem attacks and most of all has written a book that is INTENSELY BORING and will interest only the most left-wing devotee.

Summary: Inspiring and Awesome read!
Review: Easy book to read, with Michael's straight shooting no-nonsense style. Great analysis and data to back the statements and thoughts - so it's not baseless ranting. The world needs more Michael Moores - honest people who truly love their country and speak up to defend our civil liberties, and he does this in a candid and transparent way. Creating awareness of these cronyism/lies/problems are critical for people's opinion to swing...and ultimately vote for a leader who won't use fear against us. I am surpised that even for a country with free speech the media has been pretty one-sided (big Brother controlled). If you think this is bad in America...other parts of the world could have had locked someone like Michael behind bars under the guise of national security! Like Michael said - your country's just out there - bring it home.
