Synopsis

Glenn Beck, the New York Times bestselling author of The Great Reset, tackles some of our country’s biggest problems in this funny, outrageous, and entertaining book.

Glenn Beck believes that the reason why some of our biggest problems never seem to get fixed is simple: the solutions just aren’t very convenient. And as the host of a nationally syndicated radio show and a prime-time television show on CNN Headline News, Glenn Beck doesn’t care much about convenience; he cares about common sense.

Take the issue of poverty, for example. Over the last forty years, America’s poorest cities all had one simple thing in common, but politicians will never reveal what that is (or explain how easy it would be to change). Global warming is another issue that’s rife with lies and distortion. How many times have we heard that carbon dioxide is responsible for huge natural disasters that have killed millions of people? The truth is, it’s actually the other way around: as CO2 has increased, deaths from extreme weather have decreased. But that would never be shown in an Al Gore slide show.

Combining honesty with a biting sense of humor, An Inconvenient Book contains hundreds of these "why have I never heard that before?" types of facts that will leave readers wondering how political correctness, special interests, and outright stupidity have gotten us so far away from the common sense solutions this country was built on.

AudiobooksNow review by Dutch on 2008-05-06 11:38:49

I have not seen Glenn Beck on TV or listened to him on the radio, so I had no preconceived notions about him. This is a collection of 'essays' that range from a reply to Al Gore's global warming concerns to some trite stuff about letting teenage daughters go on dates. He's entertaining, but I'm glad no one has allowed him to have a position of responsibility in this country. For me, a conservative who is embarrassed by most of what Rush Limbaugh says, Beck's rants seem less hysterical and are much more enjoyable to listen to - even if you disagree with them.

Goodreads review by Benjamin on September 04, 2008

Wow. If you have ever had a desire to be simultaniously entertained, horrified, and informed this is the book for you. Glenn Beck offers his opinion on everything from global warming to illigal immigration, marriage and dateing, minimum wage, child molesters and dozens of other topics. It really go......more

Goodreads review by Emily on February 18, 2008

I'm a Glenn Beck fan, so I enjoyed this book, though not as much as his other (The Real America), which I really recommend. The book is a lot like his show with side notes, humor, and random thoughts. It is an easy read, as it is broken up in many sections, and looks like a junior high school textbo......more

Goodreads review by Doran on March 25, 2008

Oh, you were really surprised when you came across this book review, weren't you? Yeah, I'm a big Glenn Beck fan. Proof of just how nuts I am about Glenn Beck: I wrote a Perl script to convert the live streams on the Glenn Beck Insider site (which include bumper music and other types of material not......more

Goodreads review by Walter on June 02, 2008

This book made me, laugh, think, and laugh some more. While I don't agree with everything that Glenn Beck says, I must admit that he more on the ball than any other political commentator I have listened to. He has this novel approach with stories, he actually investigates them! Whereas most "conserv......more

Goodreads review by Anthony on May 27, 2008

If you have a sense of humor, don’t take yourself too seriously, and can take off the kaleidoscope glasses of contemporary liberal thought long enough to take an honest look at the world, you have to love Glenn Beck. Glenn is a funny guy, a smart guy, and sometimes a scary guy. Glenn frequently, sel......more
