BOOK REVIEWS Aaron (mellowtraveler) - Seattle, WA reviewed America on Six Rubles a Day or How to Become a Capitalist Pig on 1/21/2010 This is a strange book. Uncle Tom Yakov Smirnoff gives it to his home country, its women, its food, and its culture, for red-blooded U.S. capitalist types. A nice relic of the Cold War days that made Yakov popular (?). He can now be found in his very own eatery/nightclub establishment in Branson, Missouri, dishing out his doofus culture clash pap to the morons that go there. Anyway, this is a stellar bathroom book; don't worry, mine is staying there. Five stars. - from Amzon
