Title: this is new?
Review: this idea, and the humorous situations that grow out of the premise, has been done so many times it's hard to believe that anybody would bother writing it. Surely there are moments to laugh at, but large portions of the book seem to have been lifted right out of "Being There", with a little less satirical bite (a lot less, really). How many times is it going to be funny that people mistake this bear for a hemmingwayesque man ?Obviously, somebody out there likes this thing, but I had a creeping sense of deja vu at the beginning, kept waiting for some new unexpected twist, and then finally gave in to overhwelming boredom as I finished it up. Never again!
