Average customer review:Product Description
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"...

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In this appraisal of America's woes, conservative TV and talk-radio host Beck (The Real America) lays lighthearted siege to everything that makes the world worse. [P]olitical correctness is the biggest threat this nation faces today, he declares, as it makes us prey for Islamic fundamentalists, renders taboo the roots of our economic troubles (poor people are, in fact, lazy, he argues) and creates rampant distortion in the media. Beck goes paragraph for paragraph with global-warming alarmist Al Gore, merrily slaughtering the sacred cows of the environmentalist crowd. Not sated by the hide of the former vice president, he goes after everything and everyone from poverty to perverts, offering solutions to these and other problems (e.g., the key to success in the capitalist system is to believe in it). While often informative, as in his chapter on global warming, Beck is sometimes tedious, particularly when dealing with Islam and education (France is literally teetering on the edge, and our biggest ally, England, is about to be turned inside out as well). He's at his best when most absurd, and funniest when he's his own target (the father of four is little more than a flesh-and-bone jungle gym). This should make a good read for conservatives. (Nov.)

Great read
I bought this for my husband who is a huge Glenn Beck fan. I ended up reading it too. Glenn speaks with a no holes barred truth. A lot of it is his life's experiences. He makes sense and if you have one ounce of Conservatism in your body, you will like it too.
answers
Another person who thinks he has all the answers. If you listen and read closely to what this man says he is filled with so much hate. You should have heard his rant about movies, magazines, books, and videogames. He says these things are what's wrong with society. Not that our economy has forced both parents to work non-stop and spend less time raising our children. No that has no effect on society. It's all of these creative artists. Since when is being inventive and intellegent a bad characterstic. Soon he'll be saying that there should only be one religion and everyone should look like him.
HORRIBLE
One of the most boring books I have ever read. Do not believe these other reviews they are probably all family friends. This book is a joke and should not be purchased by anyone with an IQ over 50
