The Bottom Line: The Perfect Companion To Go With Downsize This is The Big One.

Moore Relevant Than Ever

Date of Review:  Jul 9, 2003
The Bottom Line: A fascinating satire and commentary upon American society.
Review: It has been said that great men are often shaped by great events. That is certainly true in the case of Michael Moore, the flamboyant and outspoken director of the award-winning film Roger & Me. Whether or not you agree with him, there is no denying...

Makes a Bad Situation funny!

Date of Review:  Apr 9, 2000
Review: "Remember the American Dream? For those of you too young to have experienced it, this is what it used to be:

If you work hard, and your company prospers, you, too, shall prosper.

That dream has gone up in smoke. It has been turned...

Evidently he thinks Downsize is a dirty word, but that's not my objection

Date of Review:  Mar 10, 2001
The Bottom Line: It's very entertaining to read, as long as you don't take him too seriously on some issues. I intend to watch his documentary "Roger & Me" sometime.
Review: When it's supposed to be humorous political commentary, it makes a reviewer's job a lot harder. When I encounter something that looks highly illogical/inconsistent, but which is (for that reason) rather amusing, I have to ask myself whether or not...

I Will Downsize You, My Friend

Date of Review:  Nov 10, 2003
The Bottom Line: Don't waste your time.
Review: It is a sad, sad thing that I can discredit Mr. Michael Moore, the author of this book, with only two words. Three, if you're one of his greater supporters and would be biased enough to not even let me include the dash. What are those two/three...

"Random threats" not so random after all

Date of Review:  Jun 13, 2001
The Bottom Line: A smart, witty commentary on contemporary American politics and living. Pick this up if you dislike the rantings of conservative sycophant Rush Limbaugh.
Review: I must say, I enjoy satire. These kinds of books are ones that amuse me to no end. My copy of Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations has been used more often than my well-thumbed copy of the AP stylebook (journalists will know what...

Date of Review:  Jul 13, 2000
Review: "Downsize This!", Michael Moore's latest take on American corporate culture, should be required reading for anyone entering the workforce. Moore shows that Horatio Alger skipped town and moved to Mexico long ago. In this day and age,if you work hard...

Once again I'm glad I dont live in America

Date of Review:  Jan 12, 2005
The Bottom Line: This is a great book to read unless you support corporate america & corrupt politicians
Review: This book explains in detail how big corporations & politicians operate and is very funny. I love the chapter where he says life should start with the sperm, and millions of men are recklessly aborting their sperm. He does other crazy things like...

Common sense for a stupid America

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 2000
Review: What I like about Michael Moore is his ability to cut through the krap in society, expose it, and make me laugh about it. He never has failed me yet.

This book is from 1997, so it's a bit dated. But guess what? The stuff he points out,...

Required reading for corporate America

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2003
Review: This book is savagely funny but tainted with questionable figures from certain chapters.

However, after reading Mr. Moore's essay on corporate stupidity, I realize that he is truly enjoying himself at the expense of big business.
