Editorial Review:
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"...

Does Glenn Realize He's a Liberal?
After reading through the book I couldn't help but wonder if this conservative radio/CNN show host actually realizes that many of the things he mentions sound very liberal.

Why do you think many liberals oppose big business, considering it constantly seeks to skirt outside the government? I'll give you a hint Glenn,... more info
Glenn Beck is dead on!
I have listened to Glenn Beck for several years now and he really has an understanding for the world and how it works.
This book for me was like a "best of" type of book. Mr. Beck puts America's issues right out there and explains them so simply. Too bad more of Washington does not listen to this man.
He exposes the truth and give his insights on current events flawlessly.
Read this book and make sure all your family and friends read it too.
i don't need to read this book to know it's terrible
glenn beck is a simple man, with simple thoughts. he has preconceived notions of the world, and assumes everything must fit into them. i simply must say that i didn't read this book, don't intend to read this book, wouldn't be paid to read this book: just like glenn beck, i know enough about something i don't know anything about to say that this book is boldly terrible.
I don't get it
I was completely confused by this book. Why would you write a book if you're not going to contribute anything new to any of the issues it addresses? Beck discusses the growing problem of class stratification by saying that it doesn't matter whether one person makes more money than another. Um, obviously it doesn't matter to YOU, because you're the one making more money! What about the social issues created by widened income brackets, such as racism and sexism? What about the fact that unequal distribution... more info
