Glenn Beck’s new novel "Libertarian-ish"

Glenn Beck's just released thriller The Overton Window, is being both praised and criticized as a libertarian-themed tome.

Excerpt from Vanity Fair, "Glenn Beck Now at War with The Washington Post Because of How Much the Paper Hated His Book":

The Washington Post sure disliked Glenn Beck’s new Libertarian-ish thriller, The Overton Window, which came out today. The book’s plot centers around an evil person who attempts to stage a coup on the United States government, and his son, who attempts to stage a coup...

Beck also refuted the Post’s claim that the book is “dangerous” because readers might confuse his conspiratorial ramblings for fact. “It’s weird how many people read The Washington Post and take your fiction as fact,” he said.

From Mediate, "The Overton Window; a review":

Our protagonist is Noah Gardner, a privileged, cocky New Yorker with a cynical and vast knowledge of “truth” and a megalomaniac PR guru father. His love interest is Molly Ross, a headstrong, staunch anti-government activist libertarian who hates smoking and can deftly handle a firearm (who is not what she seems).

Huffington Post, "Glenn Beck's Soon-To-Be-Bestseller, The Overton Window: Paranoid Political Fiction":

It appears as though Glenn Beck is making the leap from bestselling author of paranoid political opinion to bestselling author of paranoid political fiction. That's right, he's about to release a new book Kevin Grisham-esque thriller called The Overton Window, after a political theory popular amongst libertarians about the shifting range of what is considered acceptable political policy.
