Summary: More Agenda Pushing
Review: I have read a lot of these reviews. "Yeah for Michael Moore AND Liberals!" is what I see here. The book is OK at best. MM again tells some truths and some PARTS of truths that make his point. Again no reasonable answers are given to problems. He is, again, the little fat kid on the sidelines acting like an ass to get attention. If MM wants to cut down on all the accesses of American life he should start at his own dinner table. He is the perfect example of what he claims to hate. So...all you young liberals remember to take this book with a grain of salt. It is entertainment with FEW actual FULL facts included. MM is rich, arrogant, and excessive. He should be in the White House...he would fit right in with his "enemies".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Democrats Unite
Review: This book is about the best piece of literature I have read. I went to my neighborhood Borders Books, bought this book, took it to some classes and it was stolen. At first I was upset because I wasted good money on it, but then I thought "hey some less fortunate kid is going to read this book and learn how messed up the United States has become."

Michael Moore is clearly a genius; I thought it was great reading all the terrible quotes that well respected right-wingers have said. This book truly speaks to any liberal minded person with the exception of the chapter where Mike pretended to be god, I decided on instinct to skip that chapter.

This Book is only for the strong liberal minded person, as they are the only ones who can understand Mike's Point. Great Book. Great Buy.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Whats wrong with this book....
Review: Ok. I am an actual democrat. I like Michael Moore as a filmmaker. I usually find his films thought provoking and presented in a well organized manner. So why don't I like this book?

Because it's mean and just a mess.

I agree with what he is saying and what he is trying to do. However, the points he tries to make turn into a vicious, thoroughly accusatory, and mean. He doesn't use a lot of facts to back it up--he just points the finger and says "THEY DID THIS!"

I like to think Dems have a higher standard and I've largely supported them for NOT sinking to the depths of what the right wing does. This represents pretty much everything I disagree with the right wing for and looking at it just plain as propaganda, its not much better.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Yahda Yahda Yahda
Review: Nothing new, same old left wing, whinning. Not even the title is original.

This book was good for putting me to sleep, on sleepless nights.

Total waste of time & money

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Good book.... no matter what some people say....
Review: I had a fun time reading this and I especially enjoyed the chapters comparing democrats to republicans and explaining how the majority of American people are liberal.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: READ THIS BOOK!!!
Review: I'm not big on politics but after reading this book, it has opened my eyes to realize what we as americans are kept in the dark about. The only reason i picked up this book in the first place was because i liked his documentary on bowling for columbine. This book is a real easy read; Moore throws in bits of comic relief into a much needed touchy subject.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Just more babble!
Review: Michael - if you think you can do a better job instead of gabbing about it, why don't you actually do something about it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: More Moore is Good Moore
Review: Ah, the contentious battleground of Amazon.com reviews ...

Does this book deserve 5 stars? Maybe not. But I need to counter all the negative reviews. It definitely deserves high marks, though, if for no other reason than it spoke out against a false President at a time when attacking said false President was still considered a post-9/11 faux pas. Acerbic, angry, goofy, caustic, and entirely readable, Moore's DUDE, WHERE'S MY COUNTRY is designed from page one to push buttons and provoke response. Just look at the cover--an allusion to the toppling of Saddam, a metaphor for what Moore would like to see in this country.

Absolutely worth reading.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not his best effort
Review: While Moore tosses out the zingers one has come to expect in his books, this one fails to build a very strong argument against Dubya and the crony capitalist world he comes from. I sensed alot of anger in this book, but very little humor, as Moore vented his rage against the machine one more time. However, he does bring to light many dubious features of our runaway capitalist economy such as the "Dead Peasants Insurance" many corporations take out on their employees. Shades of Gogol as these companies collect on life insurance premiums, unbeknown to the unlucky stiff, after the employee has kicked the bucket. However, I think Moore has gone over the edge when he presumes the voice of God in his condemnation of Dubya's presumed messianic role in saving America from those who would seek to destroy it.

Moore is no longer the lone voice in the forest as Dubya has spawned a virtual book industry around him, pro and con. This has to be the most written up presiding president in history. I don't think even Kennedy garnered this much attention while he was alive. I think it would have behooved Moore to have taken more time in piecing together this book, presenting a stronger argument, rather than simply building on his infamous Oscar speech.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: lefty at large...accounts of the less fortunate,,those who e
Review: Michael moore has again proven his talent for apeasing the far left in this country, and again he has assembled many dissenters voices and thoughts and presented them as his own at times..when we all know Mike.. has very few original thoughts.. let alone enough to fill a pamplet much less a book. THis is one of the most hate filled people I have ever encountered..I hope he does well and some day comes to understand that being an individual who is responsible for thier own, reguardless of what that might be is the only true human around.. though parts of the book were funny I would not be able to recomend it to anyone who is thinking of actually becoming adult and responsible.. it might adversly affect them.

dave,
