a review of Where's Bin Laden?

I'm a sucker for pop culture and parodies - so I simply could not resist buying this rip off of Where's Wally.

In many ways, this book is similar to the Where's Wally series. You get a picture with lots of similar colours so that it's hard to find people. There's a list of other main characters to find... and a checklist at the back for when you're really bored.

This is also a lot more harder than Where's Wally - and here's why. Bin Laden is not always wearing the same clothes!! A lot of the time, he wears clothes which blend into the environment. I've found that the only way to truly identify him is to check the nose, eyebrows, beard and skin colour against the original drawing.

Of course, this isn't a book for children to go flipping through unattended - there are several adult themed references and graphic/gory scenes (you have to look for a guard who is impaled by a fence in one scene). But it is a great deal of fun - and I enjoy it and find it a greater challenge than Where's Wally.

Still, I'd buy the book anyway to set on my coffee table as a conversation piece. Even if you don't feel like looking for Bin Laden, the illustrations are awesome to look at.
