I like the book very much.

"Being There"is the first novel I read which is in English.I never thought I can have so much interest in it.When I read it,I just didn't want to stop.What could happen to a man who had to leave a house in which he had lived for more than forty years?By chance, Chance met an important family, and by other people's misunderstanding, he became a famous man.I like the metaphor(although it'minunderstanding)which compares the garden to the country's economy.It really reveals many truths of life.I really enjoy it.

humourous parable about personality cults

It doesn't really matter that the events in _Being There_ are completely improbable. It's still a very funny book, and it works well as a parable about innocence, stupidity, and how we choose our heroes.

Viewers of the movie miss the dramatic irony in the first-person narrative of the book. This makes things much funnier, and the satire that much more trenchant.

simply fantastic

with out a doubt, the finest book i have ever read. i read it in about an hour and a half, thus being an incredibly quick read, and just found all the events happening to Chance just simply amazing. the way which the population bought into a man who can neither read nor write, and constantly watches tv, i feel shows how americans really are. a must read.

I like the book very much.

The Book "Beng There" is very worth reading. The book's language is simple and easy to understand. But once you read the first page then you don't want to put down the book because you are eager to know the ending of the book. The main character of the book is a middle-aged man mamed Chance-later on called"Chauncey" by other people. He got his name Chance because he was brought into this world by chance. He was a gardener, a really good gardener, all his life. But his philopsophy about gardening inspired a lot of people even the U.S. president. People loved him. Was he the person other people thought he was? So if you want to know, then you have to read the book yourself to find out. Perhaps you will get a surprising answer.
