About the Book:
Behind every awful, dangerous decision lurks one evil beast: the Cool.
From politics to the personal, from fashion to food, from the campus to the locker room, the desire to be cool has infected all aspects of our lives. At its most harmless, it is annoying. At its worst, it is deadly, on a massive scale. The Cool are the termites of life, infiltrating every nook and cranny and destroying it from within. The Cool report the news, write the scripts, teach our children, run our government—and each day they pass judgment on those who don’t worship at the altar of their coolness. The cool fawn over terrorists, mock the military, and denigrate employers. They are, in short, awful people.
From what we wear and what we eat, to what we smoke and who we poke, pop culture is crafted and manipulated by the cool and, to Greg Gutfeld, that's Not Cool.
How do the cool enslave you? By convincing you that:
- If you don't agree with them no one will like you.
- If you don't follow them you will miss out on life.
- If you don't listen to them you will die a lonely loser
How do you vanquish the cool and discover your own true self? Read this book.
Review:
I tend to ignore political-humor titles as they don't really intrigue me; however, I do occasionally catch a few minutes of The Five on the Fox News Channel, which the author, Greg Gutfield, here happens to be one of the hosts. That being said, I thought I would give his newest book, Not Cool, a try.
If you've seen him on The Five, then you're already aware of his satire "smart-alack" humor, which isn't for everyone. Well, his version of humor is amped up 500% in Not Cool; letting the world know exactly what he thinks of the so-called "cool" people of the world (mostly liberals).
There is not one topic or person that Gutfeld won't take a jab at; even at his own co-hosts. Overall, I did find myself laughing aloud several times while reading Not Cool; though after a few chapters, the jokes become repetitive.
*Disclaimer - I received a complimentary copy in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
