Six-time No. 1 New York Times best-selling author Beck (www.glennbeck.com) is opinionated, theatrical, given to bouts of verbal flatulence, and swings a wide bat at his real or presumed enemies. But judge Broke on its own merits. In it, he makes a solid case for the dangers Americans face if we continue to pile up immense deficits without regard to the effects on the nation once the bills come due. Brian Sack, Beck's frequent cohost on his eponymous Fox TV show, reads most of the book, but Beck pops in now and then to goose the action along. Beck is fun to listen to; Sack is like an acolyte trying desperately to please his master. Fulminate at it, use the CDs as Frisbees, rage at the machine; amid the anti-Obama rhetoric and constant slams against "progressives," Beck hits a homer. Recommended.—Joseph L. Carlson, Vandenberg Air Force Base Lib., Lompoc, CA
