Overton Window

review 1: This was an interesting book. Beck provides some excellent insight--if terribly cynical. He is to be commended for the truly entertaining way he creates a narrative that thoroughly explains "the overton window," or what may be better known as the Hegelian Dialectic and the way "THEY" use disasters (real and manufactured) to slowly move public opinion in the directions "they" want us to go. The way airport security tightened up after 9/11 is an example. Numerous and ridiculous efforts at pollution control and industrial regulations have likewise been generated based on the hysteria surrounding the notion of man-made global warming. Good work.The audio version includes Beck reading an author's note before the paid audio reader begins the book. In a unique twist, Beck c... morelearly has the better voice. Not sure he could do the voices or "sell it" in a way that would be believable and entertaining, but anyway--he does have the chops.
review 2: My husband recommended The Overton Window by Glen Beck: Noah Gardner is the son of extremely wealth and influential Arthur Gardner whose private relations firm has shaped the public’s perception more than anyone realizes. When Molly Ross pins up information about a meeting of Founders’ Keepers, a group of Constitutionalists who recite Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine and others. Noah knows that his father uses his power to spin the truth, and the system they work within has already begun to paint Founders’ Keepers as right-wing terrorists. Noah is stuck between his father’s power and his attraction to Molly and her principles. By Glen Beck, this book clearly projects his bias against policies and even people like Bill Clinton. Under the rhetoric, there’s a good story. less

Overall I thought this was a very fascinating book all the way around. From subject matter to the characters it kept me riveted the whole way through. It has twists and turns I did not expect but it also uses real life scenarios and ideas that only an insider like Glenn Beck could fill the reader In on. incorporating the patriot movement and all the current day topics made this book just amazing and almost scary to read at the same time. I mean everything in this book could happen in the blink of an eye. Definitely a good read and recommended to any fan of Glenn Beck or suspense novels that leave you on the edge of your seat. Read it!

I enjoyed this book. Doesn't matter what your political leanings are, the premise is scary, because it is based on things that could really happen. If you're not already paying attention to how we could (and have already) lost some of our basic freedoms in America, this gives a few good examples. Also, if you already are paranoid about this stuff happening and where it could lead in the future, this will further compound your fears. Surprisingly for me, the romance aspect seemed more unlikely than the moving of the Overton Window. Don't expect to have the story wrapped up in this book though. The next one is out already.
