Book Reviews of Our Dumb World

Book Review: No punches pulled and no quarter given
Summary: 5 Stars

From the 'Bulls*t States' of Alaska ( 'needlessly unspoiled' ) through France ( 'One Nation above God' ) and Vatican City ( 'The Catholic Disneyland' ) to New Zealand ( 'The Maori Wars - originally conceived as a trilogy but ends after the 1st installment in which the Maori resist British colonial rule' ) we turn page after page of razor-sharp wit and acerbic commentary on the motley collection of natione states that constitute our Dumb World.
If you loved 'Our Dumb Century' and wonder where all the major writing effort has gone from the Onion website then this book is the answer to a gap in your life. No stone is left unturned and no national custom, foible or skeleton is sacred from the Onion's historians.
