Book Reviews of Goodnight Bush: A Parody
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: In Poor Taste
Summary: 1 Stars
OK - Mr Bush is not in the top 10 of US presidents, maybe not in the top 42 (thank you Jimmy Carter!), and for that accomplishment, the concept of making fun of him is not unexpected. However, the illustration of the toy plane crashing into the building blocks that are made to resemble the World Trade Center, well that is beyond terrible taste. I shouldnt have to explain why that in itself is horrific, but to teach this as a joke to children? The fact that this book was published in this poor taste and displayed in the children's department is a real shame.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.
Book Review: Parody?
Summary: 1 Stars
This book clearly appears to be a copyright violation and there is some chance amazon could be contributorily liable. For a book to be a parody and a fair use under the Copyright Act the "work" must be a parody of the underlying work. A book making fun of Goodnight Moon would fit this description.A book using elements so Goodnight Moon but making fun of something else entirely is not a parody. No amount of claiming it is a parody makes it one and no amount if saying it is unrelated to the original will excuse the infringement if one exists.
