This sounds like a good book, especially when one considers the current political climate, especially with market capitalism. Thanks for the review!

This sounds like an endlessly entertaining book poking fun at the super-rich.It also gives the other 99% of us a closer look into how they stay at the top! I am glad the book is also professionally edited. Thanks for the wonderful review!

This book looks like it would be a big hit with the fans of the HBO TV show Succession. Excessive wealth with humor to boot. Looking forward to reading this. Thanks for the eBook!

I liked the pop-cultural references you used. Your review is really well done and interesting. I am still not sold on the book. Maybe I need to be more in the mood for it. Nevertheless, great review.

Yesterday the review for the book of the day murdered eight shoes your own adventure was one of the best reviews I’ve ever read. Now I must say yours is the absolute best. There is so much detail it’s so much emotion in exacta to have Ness I can’t help but want to read the book as well. Thanks for the absolutely great review!

I don't see myself reading this book because of the ambiguous title. Congratulations on BOTD. Thanks for the review.

I enjoyed the clever introduction to your review, but this book doesn't sound like my cup of tea.

Latest Review: Winds of Fall by Alberto Mercado

Post by Amanda Deck »

Two days ago, I wished someone would write a book where some powerful person was told their product was causing birth defects. The powerful person would wave their hand and say, "Start running ads about how only pathetic people would be upset about having a child with that problem." The messenger's reply, "Oh, yes, that's done, we started that immediately. We even added how it's better than normal to be like that. Sales are almost all the way back up. We thought you might also like to have some teachers talk about how wonderful and special these children are." Another wave of the hand. "Do it."

This book sounds like what I was hoping for. Not necessarily birth defects, but managing the faceless masses of what the powerful consider their resources to maintain wealth and power.

This book sounds hysterical. It takes a dry, overtone topic like the 1% and their wealth, and gives it a different, more entertaining voice.

This sounds like a humourous yet insightful read offering eye-opening insights into the minds of the wealthy 1%. Fantastic review.

I love spoofs almost as much as I love poking fun at the top 1% - or is that vice versa? *scratches head* - so this satirical "self-help" book is going on my Must Read shelf, for sure...probably, *wink*.

Latest Review: Arsenic and Old Men by Glenn Ickler

This book is cleverly put together. Satire and pop art illustrations work well together to discuss the author's political and economic views. I find this approach much more effective than a traditionally written rant. Excellent review as well!

This sounds like a self help-book explaining how the global economy works and as much as it sounds enlightening, it isn't my kind of a read. Readers who like such books might want to give it a look. Congratulations and thanks for a thorough review.

Pass the glass ( I'll get my own straw), I am reading this one. Billionaires and politics and art, oh my! Great review.
