John G.'s Reviews > Revolution

I agree completely with his political and economic analysis, less so on the spiritual side of things. He is perhaps the only celebrity/comedian I can think of, other than perhaps Michael Moore who is condemning our economic and political models. His book reminds me of a Micheal Moore movie in tone and style. I'm not at all familiar with Brand's comedy or his other books, but found his comedy in this book to be somewhat lowbrow and distracting, even grating. He gives off the impression of being a new professor, using arcane and big words to try and impress his readers. I think this book is worth reading, maybe not buying at full price. This book most likely wouldn't have been published without Brand's status, but nevertheless, what he says about the state of the world and our way out of our trouble is spot on, our political is a fraud and only serves our rich overlords, absolutely no change will come from treating it or our "leaders" as legitimate will solve anything. Not reform, only nonviolent REVOLUTION will work. I think too that Brand is indeed earnest and sincere and wanting to make deep structural changes to the way our world is being run and effectively ruined.
