review 1: Two Gentlemen of Lebowski is so much more spot-on than necessary. Full of hilarity for any Shakespeare/Lebowski joint fan (there are a surprising amount of us), Bertocci includes not simply raunchy jokes, but SHAKESPEARE'S brand of raunchiness. There are Shakespearean quotes sprinkled throughout the text, which are a joy to find, and apparently a reference to everything in Shakespeare's cannon. Bertocci shows how Lebowski is a Shakespearean tale simply written later: thievery, mixed identity, senseless deaths? The book is a delight, and even sheds new insight into some characters. (Why does Maude seem more poignant here?) Recommended.
review 2: I am not usually one for these types of gimmicky books that exploit someone else's creativity, but a movie like The Bi... moreg Lebowski just begs for additional interpretation. And this one works. The language and effort put into this Shakespearean rendition of the cult classic works on so many levels. And for someone who has the film somewhat memorized, I found this book even more hilarious than it should be. It definitely does help to know the film's script beforehand for maximum entertainment. Familiarity with the scenes brings about a certain joy that cannot be represented truthfully in this review. less
