The Overton Window Glenn Beck James Daniels Books
This was an enjoyable book.Pros:
- All the necessary elements of a good action-adventure dystopia: suspense, some (clean) romance, nukes, abuse of modern technology, government tyranny.
- Easy writing style. Flows well.
- Uses the classic and enjoyable writing technique where multiple storylines coalesce at the end.
- Enough reach to be fictional, but enough incorporation of modern day politics, culture and technology to be chilling.
- Kind of like a cross between Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising and Huxley's Brave New World.
Cons:
- It's a cliffhanger book, which left me wanting. (That was probably the point.) Plan on reading the sequel The Eye of Moloch to feel satisfied.
- The (clean) romance between the two main characters proceeds far too fast to feel realistic.

The Overton Window Glenn Beck James Daniels Books Reviews
And it bothered me a little. Perhaps it is something that could be events of the future and seems to be the P.S. to 1984. Some of the information in the book seemed to be a composite of internet information that I have seen or heard. I have no problems with the author as a very creative writer but with the paranoia that would suit a conspiracy theorist to a T. I did not like the feelings while reading but perhaps there may be activities in our world possibly in the future which will match what has been written in this book and it was disturbing to me.
I have known that there are things which come to a logical conclusion if a certain route is taken and maybe our country coming to this point is a logical conclusion when values are replaced with unjust social justice for the sake of political correctness. I remember reading a quote from de Touqueville who said, " When American ceases to be good, it will cease to be great." This book did not portray American as good.
It is written well and does hold your attention. I have the sequel just to find out how it ends.
This is the first Glenn Beck novel I have read-- it is the first GB book I have read. In my circles among my liberal friends, Beck is a four letter word. OK, I get that, but he still tells a good story with satisfying twists and turns in the plot and characters that are good and evil (depending on your definition of good and evil!) that creates a meaningful conflict.
Beck draws from current events to tell his story and includes those events (or facimiles of them) into the plot. But unlike many authors, Beck, in the afterward, admits that he uses the events to tell a story and does not claim that any of the events in the story actually happened in the ways that are described in the novel. (I hope I have that right Mr. Beck). It is a NOVEL! It is is FICTION! With just enough creepy scary to stimulate the gray matter into asking, "What if...?"
I enjoyed the novel and I am eagerly waiting to get the chance to read The Eye of Molach.
Hmmm - a good read, but it scared the pants off me.
Well, that sounds simplistic, but after a lot of thought, it's true. I happened to watch Beck on Fox when he was talking about the concept of the overton window & how it works (an actual technique of changing group attitudes). Scared me then & it scares me now.
So, the story is just the vehicle Beck uses to show his perspective of what's happening in today's world. There are 40 pages of documentation of source material - honestly overwhelming. He says repeatedly 'do your own research', but I'm not sure how many casual readers will do just that. Maybe they feel as I do - what would I do if I found even half of this stuff true? Well, it's more than I can handle & just reading the list of sources is difficult.
I think we, the people of the United States, are probably heading down the same path traveled numerous times before us by other great nations (Romans, Greeks). And unless we make huge changes - that many won't do - we'll probably continue down the path to ruin. Wouldn't have thought these things 20 years ago, but now it seems almost a given.
I have to admit, I was not expecting this book to be as good as it was. Glenn Beck has a very fluid writing style and tells this story through the eyes of a surprisingly relatable and somewhat endearing main character.
This story does not focus on politics at all. Does it have political themes? Of course it does, but it presents a surprisingly common sense, human, approach to the concepts and doesn't try to shove any one agenda down your throat.
Whether you like Glenn Beck's views or not, I strongly advise reading this book before you dismiss it. The book does not disappoint. I can't wait for the next installment.
This was an enjoyable book.
