Rating: Summary: A charmingly hilarious parody Review: "The Three Little Pigs Buy The White House" is a tale of how the Bush team came to power and what they've done since written in the style of a children's book. The depictions of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld, down to them telling Bush how to behave whenever there is a problem, is frighteningly accurate. The depiction of Osama as a Big Bad Wolf with his Winds of Mass Destruction is unnerving. It's the news of the past three years that you didn't get on TV condensed into a brief allegory.
Rating: Summary: Recommended reading Review: Friends don't let friends vote Republican, not when THESE are the Republicans. Sad thing is, the book isn't exaggerating one bit.I loved this book and bought it on sight. Despite the cartoon facade, it offers a perfectly accurate peek inside how the George W Bush White House actually functions. I mean, does anyone really believe Cheney and Rumsfeld are not conniving masterminds in DC power seats, handing out deals for their business friends, like money, environmntal excuses, and war crimes? It's no coincidence that Cheney's former company Haliburton got the billion-dollar contract to rebuild Iraq WITHOUT having to compete for the contractas federal law otherwise requires. Look at pics of Cheney or Rumsfeld-- never a smile, always a smirk. If anything, "The Three Little Pigs Buy the White House" is TOO SOFT ON W BUSH... contempt of proper governance and responsibility runs much deeper in the G W Bush White House than this book suggests (is second only to the corruption of the Reagan Administration; even Nixon wasn't this evil). Even so, I highly recommend "The Three Little Pigs Buy the White House." Buy it and give away copies to everyone you know. The only other book of this caliber is the (unfortunately) out-of-print "Tricky Dick and his Pals," 1974, which recounted the dizzy shenanigans of the Nixon White House throughout Watergate.
Rating: Summary: GREAT! Review: I Love It! This books should be required reading for everyone. The PERFECT history of GWB. Perhaps the "compassionate conservatives" should take this on their next month long vacations. Maybe they'll learn something while living off of everyone elses money in their brick houses!!

Rating: Summary: Great fantasy for the gullible! Review: I was dissappointed that this book was so obviously rooted in fact but totally without substance. Yes there is a Bush family but where does the author get the set ups, the gags, etc.
Rating: Summary: sums up everthing Review: I'm saving this one for my grandchildren when they bring home questions from American history class--they should know the truth, not the sanitized version doled out in school.
Rating: Summary: Smart and sharp. Review: Piraro has hit a great peak with this book. Obviously he's twisted the "Three Little Pigs" tale into a modern allegory for the Bush II administration. But he's hit on something wickedly satirical. And damned if satire isn't what's missing from much of the American Left right now. Anyway, Piraro's caricatures, most notably of Condoleeza Rice, are hilarious. And his WMD ("Winds of Mass Destruction") will leave you belly laughing after you've closed the book. Good job, Dan.
Rating: Summary: Great fantasy for the gullible! Review: SO hysterical and right on target, after reading a friend's copy I immediately ordered it for my child. I only pray that volume II will be "The Three Little Pigs and the door that hit them on their way out of office". The quick synopsis is: The 3 little pigs are Dubya, Rummy and Dickie. Dickie and Rummy keep telling Dubya what to do and he just does it. They are building their own houses of bricks stolen from the country, while they rebuild the rest of the country with mud and straw (pacifying the country bumpkins with $300 a piece). The big bad wolf comes along (bin Laden) to blow the house down with his WMD (Winds of Mass Destruction), and then they try to divert the country's attention to the New big bad wolf (Sadam). The illustrations are exceedingly well done and the story is right on target.

Rating: Summary: RIDICULOUS Review: This book has no class. Those 'three pigs' you are referring to are people who are trying to protect americans. Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden are terrorists. Bin Laden is still out there planning to attack us again and your defending Saddam! Our US forces are trying to find Bin Laden and Saddam is not a distraction, but a terrorist who needs to be punished for his actions!
