Book Reviews of Being There
Book Review: Being There and boring?
Summary: 4 Stars
Jerzy Kosinski's Being There is an entertaining and funny novel which was immortalised by Peter Sellers in the film of the same name.Reading it at first it seems to be uninteresting but as continuing it gets more and more exciting when the lonely gardener Chance has to move out of the large mansion ,he has been living since his childhood .Chance is led by various misun- derstandings which reach their top when he is ellected for a president candidate.Book Review: humourous parable about personality cults
Summary: 4 Stars
It doesn't really matter that the events in _Being There_ are completely improbable. It's still a very funny book, and it works well as a parable about innocence, stupidity, and how we choose our heroes.Viewers of the movie miss the dramatic irony in the first-person narrative of the book. This makes things much funnier, and the satire that much more trenchant.
Book Review: This is the story of Obama mania
Summary: 4 Stars
I luved this movie. After watching this movie I understand Obama mania around the world. Particularly the fascination of Obama by the Europeans.
Peter Sellers portrayed the Obama character so well...It was uncanny.
All Obama fans need to rent and watch this flick.
Amazing!
