Okay, I may not actually be writing this review (as I had done so a while back) but I am going over it again to try and correct some of the glaring spelling and gramatical errors (as I have been doing for most of my reviews – and I am getting quite close to finishing them off). Anyway, I am currentl...
Rated solely on the basis of literary merit, (ignoring political loyalties), I think it not unfair to allow SWM to slide into four. Moore is no Marx or Rousseau, but certainly in this soundbite era, he explains his ideology forcefully and clearly. You may not agree with everything (or you might), bu...
My evil little brother gave this to me. He's currently on Naomi Klein's No Logo and he recommended this to me - as better, he was right, it's more readable and gets you both laughing and feeling guilty about the fact that the laugh has irony attached. Also has a paen to Librarians in the intro. Why ...
Michael Moore does pay teams of fact checkers to ensure he doesn't end up financially beholden to any number of subjects who want his blood. He exaggerates and takes cuts at self-important frauds, but he hasn't been found guilty of falsifying facts against anyone litigious yet, to my knowledge.As he...
I like Michael Moore; he reminds me of my Dad for some reason. I generally agree with his politics, and even when I don't I think he has a refreshing sort of sincerity about him.

I am probably going to go down the same road as many of the other commentators on this book, namely that while Michael Moore does make some good points, it does not appear to be a properly researched and documented work. While his videos were amusing (at first) they end up becoming little more than ...
Erri De Luca is one of Italy's most popular authors; he's also garnered critical praise, such as being named "author of the decade" (2001-2010) by the Corriere della Sera. He typically publishes short works, several each year, in fiction, essay, and poetry. This one is only 175 pages in English, but...
I picked up this book probably within the first few months of getting my first fulltime, degree related job. Going from unemployment benefits to a steady wage at the time felt like rivers of gold had opened up and started pouring wealth onto me, and unfortunately I ended up spending it as if it was ...
Sometimes it is difficult to understand Michael Moore's motivations. I used to think that he was a wonderful champion of the left, however as you begin to dig deeper you quickly discover that he is not necessarily a champion of the left, but rather a champion of himself. He has his own motives and o...
