This novel by conservative pundit Glenn Beck centers its concatenations firmly around the Overton Window. What, you wonder, is the Overton Window? It is the political theory that proposes that the range of acceptable political ideas is widened by the introduction of new, less acceptable fringe ideas. Not surprisingly, this hypothesis plays out entertainingly in this fringe-decorated fiction. (Hand-selling tip: Pile it high; watch it fly. Glenn Beck always sells well.)

You really have to be fans of Vince Flynn or a writer within the genre to really get into this book. Although, I normally like Glenn Beck's non-fiction work, I really had a difficult time getting into this book. Although, it was well written, it just wasn't my cup of tea! That is the only reason it ...
Yes, I'm actually reading this. Stop laughing, Michelle......It is well known the Glenn Beck did not write this. Mr. Beck said so himself.
