No Apology: The Case for American Greatness Audiobook

" It's cool to see things from Romney's point of view and the ideas are sold pretty well, but the book was obviously ghost written. "

" I found this book very interesting as it educated me on many things in the world of government politics in which I felt my knowledge was lacking. Clearly this book is written from a Republican view, but it is not a democrat bashing work. In the book, Romney criticizes both parties, as well as the media, and other forces at currently work to weaken America and diminish productivity and thus economic growth. Instead of just exaggerating problems and telling his readers who is to blame, Romney proposes real solutions to the problems and discusses obstacles to those solutions. Though I can't say I agree with everything he says, I can say that I am impressed with his method of problem solving, and was impressed with many of his ideas. It also gives the reader a sense of just how complex the problem solving process in government is, and how so often good ideas are ruined by those who would put themselves above others, be it politicians, labor unions, teacher unions, or those benefiting from the dole. I now feel like I know what Romney stands for and how he would approach governing if elected someday. "

" I listened to this audiobook as part of my election year routine - listen to or read books by or about the presidential candidates as a form of civic "homework" aimed at making me a more informed voter. This year is particularly odd for me in this regard, as that it is the first time since I reached the age of majority that, in the last few weeks before the election, I remain undecided. This book did not materially help me make my decision in the way I hoped that it would. Romney does seem to have some good ideas, but there are also some that I don't care for. For instance, he denounces multiculturalism in a way that makes me think he may not appreciate the strengths of cultures other than our own, and his "no apologies" defense of American greatness reminds me of the sort of tone-deaf arguments made by some people who have little conception of the world beyond our shores that America can do no wrong. And unfortunately, as I hoped that it would not be, the book was more or less a really long stump speech. There was quite a bit of substance, but more "filler" remained that what I would have liked. I also would have liked to hear more about the candidate himself and his life, not just a laundry list of all his policies and platforms, which it sometimes sounded like. "

" I was listening to this book on CD and I loved it. It's narated by Mitt himself. We crashed our car and 8 of the 10 CDs were trapped in the CD player so I didn't finish the last 2 but I plan to get the book and finish it. "

" What a genius! There is no one like Mitt Romney. The man is simply amazing. Not only can he lead, but he can write. The book is definitely a book written by a presidential hopeful, so it fits that Mitt wrote it. I really enjoyed reading the book and I have to say I'm on the Mitt 2012 train. "

" Just finished reading the manuscript. Yes I am biased. But this book is really really good. Every politician in America should read this, it does a great job of framing the issues confronting our nation today and historically. "

" Better than I expected, and I'm a Romney fan. He does a great job explaining why a strong America is important and how his policies would strengthen this country. I have to disagree with him on energy policy and a few things on health care, but other than that, right on. "

" America is unique. This is the theme of the book. Have been reading and highlighting. Obviously this man believes in America. One of many quotes I like: "American strength does not threaten world peace. American strength helps preserve world peace." An important book to read. "

" I think that Mr. Romney made valid points in favor of his positions, and was relatively even-keeled in his approaches to some volatile topics. I feel like if he runs for president again, I'll have a much better idea of what he would like to accomplish. "

" Mitt is a smart guy and well spoken. I listened to the audio boook which he narrated himself. Didn't like the Obama bashing but did like most of his ideas and learned a lot from the specific suggestions that he has to address so many of our nations challenges. Very informative for me! "
