Scope and Contents
Review in Amazon.com by David W. Straight: Borat humor, like fermented horse urine, is definitely an acquired taste. There's plenty here to seriously offend almost everyone--those who are not offended by anything in this double-ended (one part USA, the other Kazakhstan) book have got to be rather strange to begin with. It's almost incessantly outrageous, but that's what makes it a lot of fun. Not everything works quite as well as it should: you may turn to a page and scowl or look revolted--but just turn to the next page and you're smiling again. There are lots of nice color pictures--cheap shoddy color usually, but that's part of the idea. What do you want? Current technology? The text can be a bit slow-going at times ("I was also very happy face at time of my junior schoolings.."), but that's also part of the fun. Borat talks of the "Glorious Tinshein Swimmings Pool" and it's wonderful filtration system ("remove 80% of human solid waste"). It's a book that you can wander through...
