The Real America: Messages from the Heart and Heartland Audiobook

" This was a great book, introduction to Glenn. It's been a few years since I read it so I don't remember that much about it, though, but I love his conversion story and how much effort he put into finding the true gospel. "

" This book was written in 2003, and is in some ways a little dated politically, but the principles still apply. Glenn Beck is both humorous and annoying, spiritual and irreverent, serious and nonsensical. But he does make you think about things. He is not a republican or a democrat but always a conservative politically. Most of the time I agree with what he is saying, but you have to wade through the silliness to get to it. That is what makes him good on the radio, like he says, sometimes you have to fill the air space. I recommend this book. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it! "

" I honestly can't remember if I read this in 2007 or earlier. I do remember that it was a good read, however. Just as its title indicates it's full of stories from real Americans, stories from the heartland. Good stuff. "

" I loved this book. It left me feeling that there is hope for America, when politicians "on all sides" are making it sound like we are going to hell in a handbasket. "

" I enjoy listening to him on the radio. Don't much care for him on TV. His book was too manic for me, I couldn't get into it at all. "

" I liked his ideas about what the real America should be, and isn't, today. I enjoyed the story of his conversion to the LDS church. He has contempt for the fake ideas of political correctness that are forced on us. "

" Started to get boring, but perhaps because I feel like i can't relate. That's probably not a good thing. "

" i like glenn- he's real and to the point. "

" I really enjoyed this book. Glenn Beck boldly speaks out and uses much humor. I think his book spends too much time telling why he's Morman, though. Overall, he gave me much to think about and reaffirmed many principles of capitalism. "

" uncovers our nation "

" What can I say...I like Glenn. I especially enjoyed his conversion story. "

" The America I grew up in, the America I love, is no more. I want it back. "

" GB really is a fun read in what ever book he writes. However, while I liked this book, the parts that I throughly read, I find that most political books usually have the same theme which makes them a quick read. This was no exception. But The Christmas Sweater WAS NOT like this. "

" Glenn wrote this is 2003 but it is still so pertinent today. This country is so great, we cannot let it go down with the decline of common sense. "

" I'm not sure what to think of this one. On one hand, he is a very intelligent and hilarious person. On another, his unfocused writing style is a roadblock to the reader. What he has to say is good, but how he says it isn't very effective. "

" This is an older book but I actually liked it better than his latest (An Inconvenient Book). It is funny but also shows just how much he loves our country and how much faith he has in it/us. "

" This book is fantastic, I enjoyed every minute of it. His story completely inspires me. "

" A positive message to the people of America saying to wake up and be real! Don't let society continue to tell you that you can't be friendly, honest, and independent - just do it. "

" Glenn Beck before he could afford ghostwriters and a team of researchers. It's hard to overstate just how unreadable this really is. Not recommended. "

" This was ok, but Glenn Beck is funnier live. Also, he got to involved in talking about himself. "

" I love Glenn's insight mixed with his sick, twisted humor! If you like his radio and tv show, you'll love the book too. "

" I liked it. Found it difficult to find any of his views that I didn't agree with or possess myself. "

" Glenn's book is just as funny and sarcastic as his radio program. "

" Many topics discussed, without the rose-colored glasses. His opinions echo my own in many ways. I appreciate his candor. "

" I LOVE YOU, GLENN! I don't care what anybody says... "

" Not my favorite political or TV personality, nut this was an interesting read. Especially in the beginning of the book when he talks about his conversion tot he Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "

" The last two chapters of his book were excellent. The chapter on the middle east was great the rest kind of rambles on. He lays his heart out in parts of the book. In other parts his radio show is better. I still want to give it a high rating because of his conversion story. "

" Glenn Beck is a very well written gentleman. I'm enjoying The Real America as much as I enjoyed Common Sense. This book is a very quick read. Will definitely recommend! "

" Just cracking it open - was lent to me by an older gentleman who thought I might enjoy it. We'll find out shortly! LOVED some of the chapters. Was bored in others. Generally I would highly recommend it, though. Refreshing, easy read of some worth-hearing opinions! "

" Many topics discussed, without the rose-colored glasses. His opinions echo my own in many ways. I appreciate his candor. "

" this guy is down to earth and calls poeple out on their bs.. time to shape up america! " why do we need warnings on snow blowers to not take them on your house roof" or "do not eat the packing peanuts in a fedex box" our grandparents didnt need these warning labels. "

" I just loved this book. It's very funny. It's another book that has to be read to really understood. But it's a great book. "

" I really enjoyed this book. Glenn Beck boldly speaks out and uses much humor. I think his book spends too much time telling why he's Morman, though. Overall, he gave me much to think about and reaffirmed many principles of capitalism. "

" I read it and didn't get into it as much as his other writings. "

" Glenn wrote this is 2003 but it is still so pertinent today. This country is so great, we cannot let it go down with the decline of common sense. "
