Rick Mercer Report: The Book

Always funny, some great rants. If you enjoy his show, you'll enjoy the book.
A little too short for my tastes (too short for the price), but something I can still re-read and laugh at.
RIck Mercer, you are a brilliant man. Now publish another book!

Great collection of Rick's rants - a laugh-filled trip through recent Canadian politics. The last part of the book takes us to Afghanistan and Africa - laughing and yet very touching. Nice work Rick!

I enjoyed reading RMR. Truly fun and witty

Having watched a number of Rick Mercer Reports on TV I had come to love his rants. I knew the book would have those rants and other new material. I found little new material, granted I really enjoyed some of those old quips and being reminded of the commentary, but it was outdated and provided litte "wow" factor.

Still, I am happy to have it and happy enough to read it, but if you religiously watch the show and the reruns, you're likely to be disappointed.

Rick Mercer has shoved fun at politicians and social issues for years. Some I have watched personally on tv. Now someone has prudently spurred the genius to get all this solid bunch of verbal entertainment onto the pages of a book, The Book. The weird fling about it all, is that not only are these groupings of political satires more entertaining on paper but they seem to take on an even more realistic ambience of serious entertainment. Ones that really stimulate the mind as one reads and rereads at one's own pace, over and over, again. This is an excellent book! A MUST buy a great book of solid laughter to cherish for a life time

Some other great books: "Fluctuating Life" by Canadian, author, teacher and poet, Joshua Spencer and "Quest for a Dream - A Life Committed to Progress" by Joyce Buchanan

Great Read
This book is just like The Rick Mercer Show. It is witty and and leaves no one left out of the jokes. He has put toether a collection of Rants about the government, the Canadain Society, and Canada's interactions with other countries. This is a great read for anyone who enjoys watching Rick Mercer, and will not be disappointment. This book will leave you laughing for hours.

As much as I like Rick Mercer, and which Canadian doesn't?, RMR: The Book unfortunately falls slightly flat. That's not to say it isn't a good read, not at all. The only thing missing from it is Mercer's unique voice that makes his rants so enjoyable. While some of his included essay are great reads, his trip to Africa for example, are extremely well written, informative and hilarious.

This book was absolutely wonderful! I recommend it for anyone who follows Canadian politics or who loves the Rick Mercer show. He's got some great rants and blog posts and even if they aren't in chronological order they're easy to follow.
It was worth the buy on Hardcover.

Love the rants! He writes how he talks so you can picture each rant as he is wandering down brightly graffitied back alleys of Toronto spouting out that weeks crazy political news! So easy to read. Only thing is how he organized them into topics so the dates are all over the place and sometimes I had to check back what year and government I was reading about. I would recommend this to anyone who doesnt think they understand politics and/or loves the Mercer Report!

Like the man says,,,it's funny, it's not written by a former Prime Minister, what more could you want.
