Customer Reviews

You Don't Have To Be a Democrat

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.

Borowitz at his best

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!!!)

Arnold Rocks!

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.

Terminates the Terminator

I am still gasping for air after laughing my way through this unbelievably funny book. It's such a brilliant and simple idea - dig up hilarious photos of Arnold Schwarzenegger and use them to illutstrate the "real" story of his first 100 days in office. The captions are even funnier than the pictures, and the whole package is a work of (somewhat sick) genius! Looking forward to the photodiary of his second hundred days.

Arnold Governs, But Borowitz Rules!

Arnold Schwarzenegger won the recall election, but GOVERNOR ARNOLD wins my vote for funniest book of 2004 (I know it's only January, but it's going to take a real upset to come up with a funnier book than this). Andy Borowitz leads us through a hilarious photo history of Governor Arnold's first 100 days in Sacramento, using screamingly funny photos from his movies and equally side-splitting captions. This book is a MUST-BUY for anyone who needs a good laugh, and everyone who lives in California...
