Summary: Arnold Rocks!
Comment: I have never laughed so hard at a book - the photo of Governor Arnold introducing "Casual Fridays" to Sacramento is worth the price alone! An unbelievably inspired concept, perfectly executed. Two thumbs way up.

Summary: Triumph of the Absurd
Comment: No one captures the absurdity of politics better than Andy Borowitz, and he has done it again with GOVERNOR ARNOLD. I have had this book on my desk for the past three months and have had it stolen about five times! Once people start reading it they can't put it down - and neither will you. Highly, highly recommended.

Summary: Borowitz at his best
Comment: I am a HUGE fan of Andy Borowitz from hs work in The New Yorker and also his website. Governor Arnold is a must-have for Borowitz fans. It's typical of his work - side-splittingly hilarious AND concise. It's a quick read, to be sure, but you'll read it again and again. (PS - I don't think Arnold has ever looked in better shape!!!)

Summary: You Don't Have To Be a Democrat
Comment: I have voted Republican my entire life, and even voted for Arnold, which is why my brother gave me this book (to poke fun at me). Well, I laughed and laughed and I have given it to many of my Republican friends. The combination of the funny pictures (especially the Conan era ones) and the captions is irresistible.

Summary: Tedious, Unfunny
Comment: Good political humorists write in such a way that readers will laugh, irrespective of their political affiliation. Michael Moore and PJ O'Rourke are examples of such writers. Unfortunately, Borowitz lacks the tact, wit, and sense of humor to write true political satire. His attempts at humor usually elicit groans unless you already agree with his shrill left-wing point of view, in which case you're only reading to reinforce your narrow point of view. Borowitz's humor is neither intelligent nor thought-provoking. If the book actually zeroed in on the Governor's shortcomings rather than reduce him to the simple-minded stereotypes that are common among the intellectually uninitiated Left, he might have actually had some fodder for political humor. The book is boring- a waste of time and money.


Editorial Reviews:

THE TERMINATOR'S TERM, TOTALLY RECALLED!

The real story of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's first one hundred days in office comes to life in vivid two-color photographs and completely fictitious captions. Governor Arnold tells the story of Schwarzenegger's historic first days in office, in pictures that are evocative, dramatic, and sometimes truly frightening -- especially the ones in which he is wearing no shirt.

New Yorker humorist Andy Borowitz, creator of the award-winning website BorowitzReport.com, travels to Sacramento for an up-close, exclusive look at a man with a mission: to reshape California in his own monstrous, bulging-veined image. It's a book for history buffs...about the buffest man in history! Governor Arnold is guaranteed to make the Governator stop groping women...and start groping for superlatives!
