A satirical farce which sends up the idiocies of the Cold War in the 1960s and dramatizes the result of an Arms Race out of control. This book forms the basis for Stanley Kubrick's film, starring Peter Sellers and George C.Scott.

2.0 out of 5 stars
This book reads more like a screenplay than a novel,
By Craig Childs (Cordova, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dr. Strangelove, Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Twentieth-Century Classics) (Paperback)
I have not seen the movie DR. STRANGELOVE yet, because I wanted to read the book first. Unfortunately, the book turned out to be nothing more than an extended treatment of the screenplay. The characters themselves were unremarkable and undistinguishable. Most of the comedy seemed flat, largely because it was based on sight gags rather than situational humor. Even though this book was based on the movie, the movie's screenplay was originally inspired by another Peter George novel, RED ALERT. Peter George worked with Stanley Kubrick and Terry Southern to write the screenplay.

Nether realm,
By Sainte-J "Night time" (Somewhere) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dr. Strangelove, Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Twentieth-Century Classics) (Paperback)
The fact that the book was a very easy read does not diminish the overall quality of this satirical masterpiece. If you do not love this, you must be in the NRA or just love mass murders.
