Book Reviews of Goodnight Bush: A Parody
Book Review: Brutally funny take on the Bush years
Summary: 5 Stars
A dark comedic masterpiece to anyone intimately familiar with the original "Goodnight Moon" and deeply disturbed by the Bush legacy. Having read "Goodnight moon" literally hundreds of times to my children when they were young, every page hit a familiar, yet oddly discordant note. The same kind of surreal visual progression yet lulling cadence is used as in the original to great effect. Lots of small details to notice on subsequent readings. A sad story, but one that carries a positive message that the end of this long trying "day" in American history is nearly over. A book you'll likely either love or hate.
Book Review: Funny and surprisingly powerful
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book. Of course it's funny - but it's also timely and trenchant and full of wonderful details that go so deep you can read it a dozen times and still find something new. Each discovery adds to the humor - plus you feel clever for catching the little things. The big surprise for me, though, was how emotionally powerful it was; It kind of sneaks up on you while you're laughing and then stays with you for a long time.
Definitely first on my list for Christmas gifts all around, and for sleep-deprived new parents (bundled with Goodnight Moon, of course).
Book Review: A must have for anyone who has been paying attention
Summary: 5 Stars
I just received this book as a gift, and it has prompted me to write my first review. This book is for anyone who has been paying attention during the Bush years. The placement of characters in reference to the original book is so well done, but also the small details on each page is like a "Where's Waldo" of the calamities of the administration. I laughed out loud, and at the same time sighed. It's hard to make the nightmare funny, but the authors made me laugh for just a minute and it was a welcome relief. Off to purchase copies for several friends and family members.Book Review: Not for those unwilling to pull their head from the sand...
Summary: 5 Stars
If you still believe Bush won't be remembered as one of the worst presidents in U.S. history, this book won't change your mind. But if your trust in this administration has finally been crushed under the weight of its lies, corruption, greed, and arrogance -- or if you never trusted the administration in the first place -- you'll find Goodnight Bush to be a brutally clever critique of the sins of the Decider, Big Time, Rummy, the Boy Genius, Brownie, Speedy, et. al. Be sure to pay attention to the illustrations, which are chock full of humorous detail!Book Review: Patriotic Americans, Read This!
Summary: 5 Stars
Must reading for GENUINELY patriotic Americans! If you love our country, and are appalled by the abuses of the last 8 years, read this brilliant parody more than once.
Note the titles of the books on the shelf, watch as the scales of justice become more and more unbalanced, watch the profiteers --who have used the Irag war as a way to transfer billions from the American taxpayers to their pockets -- pile up their cash.
Will it be "Goodnight heirs"? Pray we wake up in time, and not sign on for 4 more years of this national nightmare.
