Thees readings helps me in better understandings of glorious nations. I laughed till curdled yak yogurt exited my mouth. It is almost better time than orgy with sheeps. I now look at potassium with greater respectings.

I make proud speakings to you by saying that I am writing this review on state-of-art Kazakh PC of 128 kilobytes capacity, which now has been released to market in smaller size, now only dimensions of small industrial refrigerator! It being best advance in technology since Kazakhstan make own version of Yugo, which break down no more or less than car from that minor nation.

I am almost to the finishings of this literary masterpieces, which wins Kazakh Golden Cow Peniss Award for most uplifting work of our glorious nation's literature. Is much more important than Nobel or Pulitzer Prizes, and is feature reading of large gypsy woman Oprahlenska's Book Club.

- So what do you think of Baron-Cohen?

- Well, personally I'd say he's overrated.

- Oh yeah?

- Sure, at first you're kind of impressed. It's well done. But after a while, you see that it's just more of the same.

- I suppose you might have a point.

- And let's face it, even though it's supposed to be clever and sensitive and post-whatever, really it's just sexist. Offensively, vulgarly sexist.

- So what would you cite as a typical example of that?

- Oh, I don't know. Perhaps the nude wrestling match.

- I'm sorry?

- The bit where his friend is trying to masturbate over the picture of Pamela Anderson and--

- Wait, are you talking about Sacha Baron-Cohen?

- Yes, who are you talking about?

My sons had this and I have to admit it's pretty damned funny. The Kazakhstan section was a little long, so better to not read it all in one sitting. But if you liked the movie, you'll find this more of the same -- consistently inappropriate but occasionally brilliant!

a lot here seems predicated on the idea that anti-semitism is so irrational & antiquated as to be prima facie ridiculous which uhhhhhhhhh seems a little optimistic w/ the benefit of hindsight

[Felix Pütsch · Rating 4 out of 5]

So terribly wrong. And soo funny. Learned so much. Example: "Las Vegas: Mighty Warlord George Walter Bush have not only succeed in crush Iraq, he have also manage to conquer and steal the cities of London, Paris and Venices which he have moved to this desert location. There is many activities for enjoy in this Las Vegas, includings bingo, prostitute, discodance, prostitute, striptease and prostitute."

While I enjoyed the movie, this book just didn't have the same effect, and I grew bored really quickly.

[Anna Domańska · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lol.
If you've seen the movie, you know what to expect. Some good laughs were had. Definitely don't leave around where your kids might pick it up, otherwise a funny coffee table book/movie tie-in.

Somebody gave me a bag of books to put in the local free library (bring a book, take a book - you know the kind of thing). I foolishly decided to take a look at this one before passing it on, but I'm sorry to say, I won't be passing it on. It's going in the bin. And that's REALLY extreme for me. I've still not put Lance Armstrong's autobiography in the bin and that offended me more than any other book of the past few years.

The best I can say about Sacha Baron Cohen is that he's very egalitarian: he's horrible and offensive about everybody. In the guise of his Kazakh character Borat, he's just as offensive about Kazakhstan and her people as he is about Americans. The problem is that, whilst most of us know enough about the USA to judge what's possibly real and what's intentionally misinterpreted, we don't know anything like enough about Kazakhstan to do the same.

I didn't see the film except for a few clips so I'm probably not the slightest bit the sort of person this was written for. I also realise I don't want to be within a thousand miles of the type of people who think that this is funny. Is it OK to be vile about Jewish people when you've been brought up Jewish? No, I don't think so. It's not OK to be vile about anybody regardless of your background. It's also not funny.

I do find SBC funny in small doses, but this book is not a small dose. There's only so much rape, removal of pubic hair, grabbing women and carrying them away, giving horses the vote, taking the Micky about other races, nationalities, sexualities, even species that you can take before finding it boring, childish and icky.

This book is the kind of thing that I can imagine 12-year-old schoolboys might find funny. For maybe 30 minutes.

I really... wish I had some justifiable reason for having read this. I don’t. I listen to a borat rewatch podcast called Borat Club which is excellent but they did a book review episode because they really fucking didn’t want to talk about Borat and the EVIL DEMON IN MY BRAIN was like, “well, I have to look at that obviously! I bet openlibrary has it.” And open
library did have it now I’m here. I regret it. I feel like I’ve lost some vital life force if I’m being honest. Please don’t read this book.

[Barry · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quality stuff. Wish there was more funny stuff like this out there!

[Stewart Tame · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not bad. I'm actually not the ideal audience for this book as I've not seen the Borat movie or any episodes of "The Ali G Show." I know who Borat is purely through cultural osmosis. I suspect fans of the character would enjoy this book more than I did. Don't get me wrong: it's definitely funny stuff, quite good in spots. But since the humor comes from Borat's character and his reaction to other people and situations, I just can't help but think that a book is not the best way to get that across. That said, this is probably the best possible book to come out of that character. I just think Borat would be better appreciated as performance than text.

I have rarely laughed so hard at a book. The best part was the poor quality binding and the odd smell that Soviet era books always had - the verisimilitude did not end with the printed text!

[David Kirschner · Rating 2 out of 5]

I remember thinking this movie was hilarious 10 years ago. Would I find it as funny now? Probably not, but I think I'd enjoy it more than this book. It's so, so, so wrong, with the occasional chuckle-worthy part. The part that got me the most was when he describes his championship ping pong game. Not a fan of the constant rape jokes, anti-Semitic jokes, etc. They were amusing for a few pages, but it gets real old real fast. The Kazakhstan side of the book for some reason is over 40 pages longer than the American side of the book (which I found much funnier because it doesn't rely so much on trying to be stupidly offensive and because he's making fun of things I know as an American instead of just fake stuff about Kazakhstan). Found this at a thrift store book section, and to a thrift store it shall return.

Owad’s Micro-Review #19

In honor of last week’s Amazon Prime release of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, we present the literary accompaniment to the first Borat flick from back in 2006. This book is a bathroom read of the highest order, with outrageous stereotypes, X-rated gags and a sometimes-insightful zest for cultural insults. Within the craziness is some intelligently stupid humor, and beneath the repetitive loudness, the language is actually an impressive bit of linguistic imitation. This of course isn’t for everyone, but for readers who like their funny stuff baked at two-zillion degrees, I have to say, “Is nice!” Oct. 29, 2020

[Kellie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty funny, I couldn't decide if the US or the Kazakhstan side was funnier. I did love that George Walter Bush is the "premier" of the United States in America (with a picture of the senior Bush) and then a pic of Barbara Bush with "this his father, Barbara."

ROFL! It's pretty raunchy, though, not appropriate for kids.

[Philitsa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lots of laugh-out-loud moments -- similar to the movie -- although you should probably enjoy that type of humor before picking up the book. You get two books in one. On one side is the "Minor Nation of U.S. and A." and you get "Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan" when you flip it over. I can't decide which is funnier. Giggles all around!

[Cori · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is disgusting and vulgar. I can't believe anyone can just walk into a book store and take this off of the shelves. It should probably have a parental warning packaging on it. On a positive note, it's really funny. Just as vulgar as the movie.

[Emily · Rating 2 out of 5]

The US and A parts were funny, but the parts about Kazakhstan got old really fast. It was just the same joke over and over again, and it wasn't even a funny joke.

[Sydne · Rating 3 out of 5]

Heh.
Stupidly Hilarious, Like everything that is Sacha Baron Cohen.

I wish They'd make a Bruno movie..

Funnier than the film.

well, it is really funny, graphic, and pointless

[Andy · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you like lots of jokes about shitting in swimming pools and nuclear retardation than this is for you. This was much better than that F. Scott Fitzgerald book I didn't bother to finish.

I Really hope to read this book it looks very funny

[Aaron · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very comedic coffee-table book (just hide it when the kids are over)!

[Chandler · Rating 5 out of 5]

An absolute classic of third world humor. I bet Kazakhstan is still trying to buy up every copy of this book and having a massive bonfire!

[Janis · Rating 4 out of 5]

As hilarious and full of things one can never un-see as the movie.

[Max Oliansky · Rating 5 out of 5]

Never had a better time laughing and reading at the same time. I would recomend that you see the movie Borat before reading this book

[Derek · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you've seen the movie (which I love), this is exactly what you would expect from a Borat book.
