Book Reviews of BORAT: Touristic Guidings to Minor Nation of U.S. and A. and Touristic Guidings to Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
Book Review: tastefully tasteless humor
Summary: 5 Stars
Borat humor, like fermented horse urine, is definitely an acquired taste. There's plenty here to seriously offend almost everyone--those who are not offended by anything in this double-ended (one part USA, the other Kazakhstan) book have got to be rather strange to begin with. It's almost incessantly outrageous, but that's what makes it a lot of fun. Not everything works quite as well as it should: you may turn to a page and scowl or look revolted--but just turn to the next page and you're smiling again.
There are lots of nice color pictures--cheap shoddy color usually, but that's part of the idea. What do you want? Current technology? The text can be a bit slow-going at times ("I was also very happy face at time of my junior schoolings.."), but that's also part of the fun. Borat talks of the "Glorious Tinshein Swimmings Pool" and it's wonderful filtration system ("remove 80% of human solid waste"). It's a book that you can wander through and enjoy.
I think that the main delight with Borat so far is that it is very creative and original humor. The danger is that we may see it overdone. Men in Black was an original, creative film: MIB II was neither--it broke no new ground. Animal House was great--but the popularity led to each of the TV networks doing spinoffs which failed to capture and appreciate just why the original was so good. I would hate to see the same thing happen to Borat.
A strong word of caution: the book is definitely not for younger children. Some of the photographs are such that you would never see them reproduced on network TV. But the main danger for letting, say, an 8-year-old look at the book would be having to explain to the child why the humor is funny. A good semi-serious documentary could be made of a parent trying to explain the humor to a son or daughter--explaining about the birds and the bees would be trivially easy in comparison. So--not for everyone--but for the Borat fans, truly a gem.
