Book Review : REVOLUTION by Russell Brand

First of all let me say that I think Russell Brand is a very intriguing and above all , a very funny guy. I actually love his sense of humour, he is one of the few comedians who can actually make me laugh out loud, as he does a few times in this book. However, that's the only thing I like here. The book is full of half thought out ideas and unfinished plans. It's half-baked! He mentions several "successful" revolutions that have occurred in the past in other countries. And admits that they ended up with emperors or dictators. Well, exactly. Dictatorship or democracy, what do you prefer? This book could even be considered dangerous in the wrong hands and I hope people don't take it seriously as it undermines a lot of human progress in the last 50 years. Yes and bashing the bankers (yawn) and rich people is an easy way to stir up the masses. We all know that the richest 10% have 90% of the money, but they also pay 95% of the tax. Some of the richest people in the world give away vast sums of money to charities. Let's follow those good examples. You are much more likely to be robbed by a poor person, as I can personally attest to.

I score this book 2.5/5
