by Michael Moore
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 ...
Is it possible to rate a book as '0 stars'? If so, then this is a book that deserves such a rating.

If you hate the guy, you would never pick up one of his books anyway. I happen to like him, mostly. The book reflects his take on the world, which is mixture of frothing vituperation at the outrages foisted upon the American people by those in power and a puckish sense of humor. His greatest streng...
Not being American, though having spent a fair amount of time in the US, I didn't quite get the point of this book until one day I flipped through "Godless" at a bookstore. Then it suddenly became clear - you were meant to preface every paragraph with "Why should Ann Coulter have all the fun?" And i...
This is a much needed counterpoint to the rabid right. Michael Moore is a frothing liberal who can muster as much spit and lather as Rush or Ann or G. Gordon or any of those other radio, TV and print hatchet artists. Like these commentators, his arguments aren't really to be debated (although he at ...
