Product Description

Jagshemash!

Fresh from the worldwide success of his smash-hit movie film, Borat Sagdiyev -- Kazakhstan's 4th most famous man -- has returned home and put together an indispensible travel guide to the U, S and A. Touristic Guidings will help you negotiate all of the common challenges you will face on arriving in America, from the secrets of Western dating to negotiating public transport, local food, and how to get your wife's cage through customs.

Flip the book over, and Welcome to Kazakhstan! Borat presents everything you ever wanted to know about Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, home of the cleanest prostitutes in the region, popstar Billy Sexcrime and supermall Viktor Hotelier's Shopcity -- three stores and electrical staircase!

Filled with never-before-seen photos and tons of original material, this four-colour romp through the World According to Borat is laugh-out-loud funny, gloriously shocking and never knowingly politically correct.

About the Author

Borat Sagdiyev is the fourth most famous man in Kazakhstan, has two arms, two legs and 'chram thick like can of Pepsi'. He has had hair on his pubis for 35 harvests and is currently married to his third wife -- the first two are dead. (He did not kill them.)

Customer Reviews

Offensive, childish, foul, and entirely hilarious
If you haven't seen the move, run, don't walk. It's at once funny AND disturbing. Now the book. Like we needed that or even thought this guy could come out with it! New info on the cultural leanings and other tangents will keep you in stiches for hours. TOTALLY politically incorrect, yet right on the money, BORAT is right up there with DO ANTS HAVE ARSHOLES? the book DON'T STOP ME NOW, KATZENJAMMER By J.T. MCcrae, and ME TALK PRETTY by David Sedaris.

If you want to laugh and are not easily offended, BORAT is THE book for you or a friend.

disappointing
As an old (Kazakh) fan of Borat, a bit disappointed, as the book recycles materials from the movie and the series. After the latter it just doesn't seem funny. Could this be beggining of an end for Borat?

A great stocking filler, but not a bookshelf 'must have'.
When you flick through this book, it's obvious that it's been brought out to be a Christmas Stocking filler. At any other time of year this wouldn't really be a big seller. It'll make you titter and the humour is in the usual Borat vein of Anti-Political-Correctness which sometimes feels a bit forced to pad out the full book.

But having said that - there were many parts of the book which made me laugh out loud, the references to the US&A, and the outrageous names and articles are comedy gold. I've given this 3 stars as it is pretty average - it's not something I'd revisit with any regularity, but it does entertain you when you first read it. There was a massive amount of surplus material when the film was made, and this is a good way to use some of it. I am a Borat fan and the book, although not fantastic, is still a worthy read.
