Rent: An Inconvenient Book: Real Solutions to the World's Biggest Problems

Glenn Beck's "Inconvenient Book" is a great read. I enjoy it greatly. But for those thinking this is political commentary or information, forget it. It is comedy. Read it, and you will laugh. My biggest complaint is while I believe that Glenn is telling the truth in the facts that he mentions, he gives no citations to check. Thus, while it is a good funny book, don't expect to be intellectually enlightened. Is it worth the purchase. Yes! You will laugh your self silly.

This is a refreshing look in a humorous way at the liberal views an how distorted and out of touch with the truth they really are, Glenn nails it down in simple truthful humor. I weould recommend it to all intelligent people that have a mind that can see the truth and sort out the lies we are being fed.

If you listen to Glenn Beck's Radio program then the book will bore you; give it to a liberal friend who needs to learn some truths and good ideas.

Glenn is better to listen to on the radio and that's his talent, stick to it brotha!

Several years ago the local radio station canceled the Glenn Beck show, giving listeners a brief respite from the constant sreech of rightwing ideologues spouting the Bush/Cheney talking points ad nauseum coming from the line-up of Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity and Savage's unending repetition of the same lies, misstatements and comments taken out of context that happened so consistently that one might believe they all read from the same script. Recently I have caught Beck on CNN and was surprised at how far he has come, so far in fact that he actually makes the occasional factual statement mixed in with his hopeless naivite about the Bush administration and its ghastly mess. This book shows some progress in critical thinking, but he needs to work on his message more and stop admiring the obvious travesty that has begun to destroy the fabric of American democracy from the White House going on eight years now and led by an unelected - appointed president who somehow managed to steal a second term. The most glaring signs of hopeless gullibility is his refusal to believe in global warming despite all the obvious evidence. It almost seems that his hatred of anyone who is a democrat blinds him to basic truths regardless. He still keeps harping - as do the radio cabal he imitates - on the word "liberal", attempting to demonize something he obviously has never bothered to look up in a dictionary for a definition. He fails to note that being a Republican doesn't automatically make one a conservative no more than being a democrat makes one a liberal. Of course he also fosters the misconception of "liberal media" and the evil "Hollywood elite." Of course he is never critical of those celebrities who support Bush, as though only they should be listened to.

As for the quality of the writing, Beck's style is conversational, much like his CNN personna and is easy to read and understand the points he is trying to make. It is just so disappointing that he is still wrong so much of the time.

I was very careful to wait for an unabridged version of this. The description is very clear - unabridged.

today I get the package and what does it say in the tiny little type on the bottom of the container?

"An Abridgement of An Inconvenient Book"

It may still be a great listen, but I absolutely HATE other people deciding what I can hear
