The premise behind this book really makes you think. I don't see eye to eye with beck on everything but I give him credit for not forcing his views down your throat. I was worried that is what the book would do. The story was good and kept my interest through. To me though I absolutely loved the information he gave after the story about which parts were based on fact, semi fact and complete fiction. He even included websites to support the topics. I would definitely like to pick up the sequel. I expected this to be terrible. The semi-incoherent, poorly-edited rantings of a bitter man. However unexpected, it's not the worst thing I've ever read. Beck could make a decent living writing politically-themed thrillers if he ever wanted to leave television. His tone, which starts off bitter, progresses to something close to rational concern with just a hint of conspiracy theory. His prose is inventive and occasionally fun in a way that comes across as good-humored rather than desperate. Don't get me wrong, I not agree with Beck politically but the man tells a decent story. Mediocre, decent, average, not good.

It was an interesting read, but very conspiracy theory-like.
