As I've stated earlier, Michael Moore's writing style is in many ways reminiscent of the one favoured by Scott Adams. It's gentle, engaging, and captivating.

The book is dedicated to a lot of people, but who it really is about is President George Walker Bush. It touches on the connexions between the Bushes and the bin Ladens, between the Bushes and the Saudi Royal Family, and between the Cheneys and the rest.

A lot of other subjects are touched as well, even if not as concisely as Moore intends. The indictment of the Bush Administration's, ahem, economic policy rings very true, but probably isn't as elegant as it should have been. Neither is the attempt at forging bridges with the conservatives by translating things into their language. It's a good idea, but Moore's implementation needs work.

Maybe I am underemphasizing this, but DWMC makes for a really nice summary of all the things that have happenned. There is a great deal of things that I know of about the Bushies but have forgotten and this books acts as a great reminder.

There's a rather unabashedly Christian chapter included. Meh. Yes, I am sure there are smarting Christians who find it blasphemous. Good for them. That's very special. That kind of blasphemy counts as free advertising in my book.

Borrow a copy from a friend and read it. That's what I did.:)
