The Overton Window, Glenn Beck (with Kevin Balfe, Emily Bestler, and Jack Henderson), 2010, Threshold Editions, Genre: Political Thriller. 292 pages (not counting all the polemics at the end). Finished 7/4/14 (no, really!).
The Snow Angel, Glenn Beck (with Nicole Baart), 2011, Threshold Editions, Genre: Pablum. 279 pages. Finished 7/6/14.
Agenda 21, Glenn Beck (with Harriet Parke), Threshold Editions, Genre: SciFi. 277 pages. Finished 7/12/14.
LesOpinion: Mr. Beck is a well-known right wing pundit who managed to wrangle actual writers into helping him compose books. The two "pablum" books are straight from the Mitch Albom school of simplistic, sentimental slop. The other two are standard-issue page-turners. Unless you see eye to eye with Mr. Beck on things political, spare yourself, Gentle Reader, from the lengthy polemical justifications for the story line that appear at the end of the novels. These oddly defensive appendices come across as first-rate conspiracy theories.
