Book Reviews of How to Rule the World: A Handbook for the Aspiring Dictator

Book Review: Fun, intelligent, hilarious! Loved it.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of those satires that emulate self-help books but tackles a completely incongruous subject. It reminds me of Daily Show's "America: The Book" and is of almost equivalent quality in its writing. The book leads you on a "teaching course" about how to become a tyrant. It's both witty and wise, and I laughed outloud quite often. A bonus is short history lessons about world-famous tyrants. The drawings are amusing too. It's considerably better than "How to Be A villain" which I read lately, although unfortunately not as visually attractive (thought the drawings are pretty cute- they should have reconsidered the cover though, "How to be A Villain" had a cover that screamed "pick me up!") All in all I think this book deserves more success than it probably had. Recommended.
