Dude, Where's My Country?

Shape Mismatch

Biased. Opinionated. Telling one side of the story. Liberal Claptrap. Borderline Conspiracy Theory. Not uniformly interesting. 

But very shocking, debasing, logical, well researched, has a clear explicit political agenda. Definitely worth a read!


I love the ideas expressed, the allegations, all that the book says and all that it leaves unsaid. It's predictions and hopes from the coming elections. (view spoiler)[ How he claims that the states need a Black president, who has a celebrity status, is not afraid to speak his/her mind, has backing not by corporates on Wall street but his/her own money and deduces Oprah for president. How it turned out to be Obama and how in 2016 Trump satisfies the two aforementioned requirements, makes you say 'The joke's on you Mr. Moore'.  (hide spoiler)]

Definitely worth a read, more so, now!

Briar's Reviews

I love Michael Moore's documentaries - they are funny, reflect on real events and always get my mind moving. With that in mind, picking up this book just seemed so natural! I found a copy at a local charity book sale and I figured, why not read it? 

Unfortunately, I didn't love it as much as I thought I would have. I really think this book would have been better in film form (for me, anyways). I loved Michael's unique and funny style of crafting the narrative in this book but I just couldn't keep a hold on it. I had to read it a little bit at a time, and some of it just went over my head (that's what I get for keeping up with Canadian politics instead of American). 

This book takes a look at the September 11th terror attacks and all the strange occurrences around it. The highest praise I can give this book is that it really got me thinking, and that is high praise!! Not often do I get to pick up a book that makes me think and connect the dots. The funny commentary made it even better since it didn't make the book feel like a textbook. If I had history classes with this sort of humor then I would have loved those classes!

In my opinion, this book is in a niche market. People are either going to get butt hurt over the funny commentary laced with terrorist attacks or they are not going to understand the humor. Michael Moore has a very specific sense of sarcasm that some people just don't get. I do think this is a great book and if you enjoy Michael's past work, then you'll enjoy this one! If you're easily offended, this book won't be for you!

Three out of five stars!

The ideas are good, but the book is badly written. the jokes are not funny, the themes are too dependent on the year this was written in (shortly before Bush's reelection) and the writing jumps here and there without making any solid conclusions. Stupid White Men was a lot better and funnier, and in any case, I'd rather stick to Moore's movies.

I didn't like the book very much. Maybe I was too young to understand, but actually I think that I just disagree with the book in some pionts and found that a few arguments were just weird. I actually would give the 2.5 *, because it was not as bad as other 2 * books that read.

Notes George W. Bush's affiliations with Enron and big oil, presenting a tongue-in-cheek plan for ending his political career while charging political leaders with enabling a growing divide between American classes.

He's the man everyone's talking about. He's taken on gun freaks, stupid white men and corporate crooks. Now Michael Moore is on a new mission: to get us of our behinds and kicking out the corrupt political elites who rule our lives.
