Editorial Review: Product Description: A brilliant parody of the children's classic Goodnight Moon, built around the coming end of the worst presidency ever. Goodnight Bush: An Unauthorized Parody is a hilarious and poignant visual requiem for the Bush administration. In it we see a childlike George W. Bush tucked safely away in the confines of his own room with all of the toys he's willfully destroyed, abused, or defaced. Complete with a quiet Dick Cheney whispering "hush," this bedtime story lets us finally say goodnight to the disaster that was the last eight years. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Very CleverWhen I saw the ad for this book, I thought it was hilarious and had to have it. In looking at it, though cleverly done, it was sobering and left me sad. What a mess our country is in and that is no laughing matter. Rating:  - doesn't work on the kindleIt is one of the few times that the Kindle version probably ruined an otherwise great book. Stick with the hardcopy. Rating: - Not for the IntelligentIf you are a thinking person this book is not for you. Putting it bluntly t is a repeat of what the presss has been hyping since President Bush took office. What a meanspirited ripoff. But if you are one of the sheep go ahead and waste your money.

For a book to be a parody and a fair use under the Copyright Act the "work" must be a parody of the underlying work. A book making fun of Goodnight Moon would fit this description.A book using elements so Goodnight Moon but making fun of something else entirely is not a parody. No amount of claiming it is a parody makes it one and no amount if saying it is unrelated to the original ...

Having said that, this book is a very clever poignant critique of the last seven years. What really impressed me is how well done it was. I actually purchased the original Goodnight Moon as well and read (looked at) them side by side. Much like Goodnight Moon, the subtle embedding of images within images is impressive. It's one where you keep finding new things the longer you look at each panel. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
