Book Review of An Inconvenient Book

By Glenn Beck
295 pages.
Simon & Schuster, Inc., c2007.
$26.00
I am a Glenn Beck fan.  I love to listen to talk radio and his show is one of my favorites.  I occasionally watch his TV program on CNN, but as I try to avoid TV, I don't catch it very often.  So, when he came out with this book - especially since he was so obviously making fun of Al Gore - I had to read it.  I thought I would love it...
The book is just full of Glenn's sense of humor.  It's very sarcastic.  At first, I thought it was very funny and witty, but it got old.   Many of the chapters are filled with interesting facts, but a few are just odd.  I'm not quite sure what he was thinking.  So I have to be honest and say that I skipped entire sections.  I didn't quite get the flow of the book either.  Each chapter gave his opinion on one topic or another, but they weren't linked together.  There really wasn't a flow to the book and it ended quite abruptly.
 With all that said, I still love Glenn Beck.  I will probably not read another book of his - nor do I recommend this one.  I do understand that this may be more appealing to men.  I have a friend who is  die hard Glenn Beck fan and thought the book was fantastic.  I, however, wish I had spent my time reading something else.

Ditto, I didn't finish it either.
