Edge of your seat, spellbinding excitement!, July 16, 2006

Reviewer: Bush-makes-charles-manson-look-like-a-saint - See all my reviews

Wow-- this has got to be the best literary work ever! It makes "Gone With The Wind" seem like junk. The first time I read this, the house next door was on fire-- (i accidently started the fire, i just started reading this after I came from visiting next door). There was a family living there---a husband, a wife, and three young children. The fire was spreading and they were pleading for help. No one else could hear their cries but me. But it was not as important as finishing "The Pet Goat". From the first sentence, I was hooked! As the adults were burning alive, it meant nothing to me. I just had to find out if the girl got to keep her pet goat. When the part about the car robber came, i was biting off my fingernails in suspense. The three children then started to burn alive, and there was no one who could hear them but me. My knees were shaking in suspense as what would happen when the goat saw the robber. Well, I don't want to ruin it for the rest of you. All I can say is, I was not dissapointed. Touching, moving, and at the same time, over the top! WOW. Oh by the way, all the family members next door died, it was too late. I could have helped them or called the fire department, but finishing "The Pet Goat" was far more important. Even though this fire was caused by me, I feel no guilt whatsoever of being responsible for innocent lives lost. Get this book, you won't be dissapointed! You can see how good it must be, if finishing it is more important than helping dying people who are dying because of your actions.

A literary masterpiece, July 12, 2006

Reviewer: Georgy (TexAss USA) - See all my reviews

My Pet Goat is a werk of pure jeen-yus. When Andy told me that them "terr'ists" was crashin' planes into buildings, all I could think about was how I wanted a pet goat of my very own. But then ol' Dick sayed I couldn't have one, 'cuz taking care of pets is a huge responsibilility. Goats is smart and they like to eat stuff. Remember back in 2000, that big ol' hullaballoo down there in Florida with the funny ballots? Well, my brother Jeb just fed a buncha them ballots to his pet goats, which made it so the Supreme Court made me Dictater-er--Commander in Cheef. Anyways, this book helped me through a very stressful time, and I reccomend it to everyone, even though Condi says it's "above my reading level" whatever that means. I have to go now though, because Dick says my interweb time is up. You should all bye this book.

Your frend,

Georgy in TexAss

Interesting, but tough book to understand, June 28, 2006

Reviewer: St. Louis Book Lover (Edwardsville, IL United States) - See all my reviews

I really really liked this book (a lot, in other words) but the problem is, My Friend Andy interrupted me while I was reading this book, so it was tough for me to concentrate long enough to get what the book was saying, but I think the book had something to do with Iraq and making money from a lemonade stand or oil or something like that. It was a real good book though, but I wish my other friend (her name is Laura, and she's my wife because I'm straight, and the constitution allows me to be married to a girl--cool!) hadn't told me that it was mostly a picture book because the truth is, there were A LOT of words in there too. But sometimes when there are a lot of words in something, you can get somebody (like my other friend, who is not my wife, Condi) to read it out loud to you, though that doesn't mean you'll always pay attention to what she's reading, especially not when you're on VACATION!! No homework during vacation, no way! Anyway, you should (everyone should, it's your patriotic duty) read more books about goats and stuff, and even if your house is on fire or something, DON'T STOP READING THE BOOK because that would PANIC everybody! And we all know that people shouldn't react like it's an emergency when the house is on fire or stuff. So -- real cool book, but very very tough book. And I can honestly say, when people ask me, yes, our children is learning, and I am kind of learning too, but not so much people will make fun of me for being one of those bookworms who are SO WEIRD!

Even Chicken Hawks Love Goats!, June 26, 2006

Reviewer: George W. Bush - See all my reviews

I love goats. They go "baa-aaaah!" when Dick comes in to tell me something about some "unsure-gency" being in its last "throws". Goats eat anything you give them... especially letters from whiny, cry-baby GIs pleading for proper body armor. Well my goat just eats 'em them letters for lunch! Sissys. Goats are a government's best friend. Now that our communist "liberal" media has let the cat out of the bag that I'm illegally tapping all your bank transactions, phone calls, and internet traffic to, uh.. what was that Dick? Oh yeah, to "catch terrorists"... well some whiny liberals and "libra-tarians" might feel anxious about having all their records out in the open. Well, that's where the goats come in. Want pages and pages of illegal warrantless wiretaps, records of your bank accounts and printouts of your emails and phone conversations to disappear? Give 'em to my goats! Before some un-American, unpatriotic liberal newspaper can find them. Yes, pet goats have a million uses. And because of my... what name did we give them again Dick? Oh yeah... "terrorist-catching" programs (gotta keep 'em scared! Right Dick?), the need for speedy shredding of documents hasn't been this great since my friend Kenny Boy Enron had his going full blast. Ah, if only my two good friends Kenny Boy and Jack Abramoff had used GOATS to eat their emails, they wouldn't be facing prison time. And when someone calls me a Chicken Hawk for sending our nation's men to die for my ego, I sic my goats on them (what's that? Really? We've upped the recruitment age past 40 because we can't meet our quota?) Does that mean Karl has to go? See, there was just one problem though. With all my illegal programs, the need for goats has increased like, a zillion times. Then Rummy told me there were plenty of goats in a country call "Eyerack." So I invaded. And now we have liberated hundreds of oppressed goats and shipped them here to the States to munch up copies of your bank records. Oh yeah, and outsource your job too. But ya gotta keep that one under wraps. The New York Times doesn't know about that one yet. Yes, everyone... the perfect animal for a nation of people mindlessly following their leader like sheep: GOATS!

Great Goat Stuff, December 25, 2005
A Kid's Review
Hi I am only 12, but I can read and watch TV at the same time. Here is what I do. When I am watching TV and reading and a bomb drops on New York I stop reading and turn on more TVs. I had a goat but my dad sold it for food money. I wish the president would get me a goat. The book is not too good. Thank you.

More Exciting Than Karl's Childhood Stories!, November 7, 2005
Reviewer: Shrubby McBrain "Huh" (1600 Pinsilvaneea Ave) - See all my reviews

I dont no about you but i get really tired of hearing Karl talk about the little democratic girl in grade skool that whooped his ass, making him want to be an upstanding vindictive republican that he is. So when Karl starts on that storee again, or Dick's wife goes on about her lesbian novel, or my good pal Bill O'Really calls to practice his fone you-know-what on Barbara, I take out my faverit book. Becuz i like goats. Scapegoats especially. Becuz i have never made a mistak. Its hard wurk being Prezidint. 'Spechilly when the drugs and alkehol havent kicked in yet. When I yell and cuss at anyone who disugrees with me i read this buk to make me feel better. Im the prezidint. I reprezent Amerika. Mishun Acomplished. This buk wuz so excitin' that I cudnt put it down. I usuly dont reed. But you problee coudnt tell. Is it time for another vacation yet? Why cant *I* be a fashion god like my FEMA pal? The wurld is so unfair. People are agins me. Thats why I like goat. And oil.

I love Goats, October 21, 2005
A Kid's Review
I love Goats
Reviewer: Cowboy Bush from Bush ranch
I just Love goats!! Why, everytime I feel lonely and when Ariel was not watching, I would sneak out to the back of my ranch house and give my favourite goat Sally a good one! That's why I only invite liberal minded people like Bandar over (no not those librulz, dummy) to mah ranch house. Funny, he refused to give it a go. Those Muslims are all the same when it comes to just letting it go once in a while. Please don't tell Laura about this or about how when I was doing it to her, I always imagine her being a sexy goat! And did I mention it? Them WMDs could be in one of them barns in mah ranch...Only me and mah goats know it and Mah goats won;t tell on me 'cos I always keep them happy!

A word from the Publisher:, September 10, 2005
Reviewer: GWBush (Wurshington, Dee Cee) - See all my reviews
As the publisher of Reading Mastery 2, I would like to state for the record that, contrary to rumor, the story entitled "The Pet Goat" within Reading Mastery 2 has NOT been scientifically proven to produce a condition that the medical community has termed Catatonic Stupidity (or CS, for short). CS is marked by sudden episodes of looking like an inept idiot while on camera for a period lasting a little over seven minutes in duration. Extensive study in the laboratory with Reading Mastery 2 has failed to reproduce any claims of "The Pet Goat" causing CS.

Thank for your attention.

a "COLLECTOR'S ITEM," if there ever was one!, June 24, 2005
Reviewer: Ace-of-Stars (Honolulu, Hawaii) - See all my reviews
If it's story about "The Pet Goat" was intriguing enough to hold the 43rd President of the United States spellbound for five whole minutes as our nation's crown jewel, New York City, as well as important governmental operations facilities like the Pentagon were being bombed and targeted by some Middle Eastern psychopath (who's *STILL* running free & whose name was *NOT* Saddam Hussein), then this book should be finding itself being snatched up at a rapid pace as an important piece of history, if nothing else! So why hasn't everyone bought their own personal copy yet?

Only 3 reviews?, June 19, 2005
Reviewer: Shane Wealti (Madison, WI) - See all my reviews

This book is great. I can't believe only 3 people have reviewed it so far. I don't want to give away too much of the plot but it has something to do with a goat.

Reviewer: muzza "bkmur@aol.com" (Dallas, OR USA) - See all my reviews

My Pet Goat is spellbinding. Part way through,I was pole-axed by the fabulous content.

Your children won't get left behind with this one. Jaw droppingly good.
