Michael Moore and Kathleen Glynn - Adventures in a TV Nation

Pros: Book about great early Moore work on a par with "Roger & Me"

Cons: Moore went nuts and turned to shock value instead of sharp wit.

The Bottom Line: Even if you don't like Moore, the person who created TV Nation is not the same one who made Farenheit 9/11. This book is great!

Cons: Mostly just recycles existing segments of the show without offering much to longtime viewers

Review: It must be a delicious irony to the corporate machine Michael Moore rages against that all his books end up on the bargain racks. I bought a hardcover copy of Downsize This from Waldenbooks for $3.99 a couple years ago, and then last month I...
