Customer Reviews

Great Read!

I love this book and all of Glen Beck's books

Taught me things I thought I knew...

I am a regular Glenn Beck listener, watcher, and reader so when I opened the book I thought it would be a good story but I pretty much knew all he had to say. So I started reading. The story-line is good and kept my attention. I was drawn into Noah - liking him and even liking the father for a substantial portion of the book. In fact, it took me a long time to warm up to Molly as she definitely had an agenda. I think the biggest surprise was that it wasn't as predictable as I thought it would be - and when I got to the part about the "plan" the last entry on the list just stunned me. I won't give it away - but that really has been my lingering nagging question. Anyway - if you hate Glenn you'll hate his novel - if you like Glenn you'll probably like his novel. If you're like me and think you've heard all he has to say - you'll be very glad you read it. He's not done teaching just yet. The Overton Window was a fast paced, easy to read thriller that humbled me back down into learning mode...definitely worth your time.

Great story, thought provoking.

While the story was fun and entertaining, I found the real details and links the most helpful. Thanks Glenn for once again making the truth accessible and giving real facts to back up your claims. This is a must read for anyone wanting to challenge what they believe about the direction our country is headed in. Keep up the good work Glenn and thanks once again!

you'd never know the author has a day job

I've had Glenn Beck's book on Kindle for a couple of hours and, like his radio program, it is a guilty pleasure. Though I like thrillers anyway, I went for this out of curiosity. The plot expositions are very long-winded; often a single person talks for pages without interuption. Still, I am enjoying it and recommend it to others. Put your politics aside and enjoy this good beach book. Like the neat novels by Newt Gingrich, you'd never know that the author of The Overton Window has a day job.

Expertly written - couldn't put it down

I greatly anticipated receiving and reading this book. Once I started, I couldn't put it down until I found out how it ended. I definitely was not disappointed; it kept my undivided attention and interest wondering what would happen on the next page. There were certainly surprises along the way - not really sure sometimes who all the "good" people were and who were all the "bad" ones. Glenn Beck is an expert in describing a situation in words to paint a very clear picture of what is happening. I highly recommend this book - it really helps you think outside the box at the possibilities.

Can't wait for the next one!

I ordered a signed copy of this book through Glenn Beck's website and was surprised to actually receive it last Thursday--almost a week before it was supposed to be released. I read it within 24 hours! I'm not a huge reader of fiction (one or two books a year), so I can't provide a trained critical review. But, as a concerned citizen of this country, it was refreshing to see an author correctly portray who the viliians of our society really are, and who the heroes are. Some may call it a book filled with wild conspiracy theories, but it's not about trying to prove any particular conspiracy. The purpose of this book is to educate the reader to dig deeper beneath the propaganda we are exposed to on a daily basis and "question everything". It challenges us to find out for ourselves what to take on face value, and when to be a skeptic. And it does it all through a creative and entertaining storyline. I can't wait for the sequel. I will be purchasing copies for friends and family. By the way, unlike most thrillers written these days, this book is clean and appropriate for all audiences!
