Customer Rating:
Summary: Glenn Beck- you're right on!!!
Comment: Reading Glenn's book reinforces how screwed up our country and it's government are. America better wake up before we are overthrown by our "liberals" and criminals.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book even thought it is a little odd at the end.
Comment: 22 February 2008 - This book covers just about everything but the main point is Global Warming. It shows in detail how messed up the environmentalist solution is to the problem of climate change. If you want real answers check out Wired magazine's 15th anniversary edition.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Sophmoric and Lame
Comment: I have gotten too old to put up with lame books. I am sure Mr. Beck had great fun railing at Al Gore's techniques, but his were even worse. I quit reading the book at Mr. Beck's analogy that since Madden's computer football game could not predict the NFC, AFC and Superbowl winners then clearly weather computer modeling programs could not be trusted. This is the worst kind of ignorant hype. If you want a contrarian opinion of global warning buy Michael Crichton's "State of Fear". Mr. Crichton's footnotes are well researched and referenced.

Summary: An Inconvenient Book
Comment: Great Book. Delightful sense of humor. I had never heard of him before, quite frankly. He was spot on in many areas. Everyone should read his last chapter - very interesting.

Summary: Common Sense Baffles Ivory Tower Liberal Elites
Comment: Some reviewers of this book find it simplistic. One has to suppose that if one cuts through the "bull crap", to paraphrase Mr. Beck, that so many problems can be solved with plain ol' common sense. It seems to be human nature to put the worst spin on every situation, and so self hating Liberals thrive on blaming the world's ills on Western civilization. Mr. Beck merely points out that if the West would cease and desist with political correctness, then maybe the good that is inherent to our society would be able to trump all that troubling the world today. One can only wish that every Liberal who "can't bring himself to finish reading this book" would for once take a moment to consider another point of view, with an open mind.

Editorial Reviews:

The world is a mess. It seems that every time you turn around, there's another problem:
Iran is developing nuclear capabilities. Public schools actually seem to be making our kids dumber. Charlie Sheen has a hit sitcom. Obesity is a national epidemic.
The divorce rates is rising faster than gas prices. Did you hear me--Charlie Sheen has a hit sitcom!
This just barely scratches the surface. Sadly, there's no shortage of problems what we need now are solutions. If only there was a man who could simplify things, cut through the rhetoric and fix everything? Then, if he was just able to put all of that insight into a book that people could buy...in a store and online say, for like $24.99? Man, that would be great...
Wait a minute!
"Inconvenient Book: The Real Story Behind The Biggest Problems In The World!" is that very book the one source for the Real Story behind the problems that seemed too big and complicated to solve (until now) plus their common sense solutions. Think of it as a Hints From Heloise that's less "getting red wine out of your carpet" and more "keeping illegal aliens out of your country"...
