    "A book that will draw you in till the very end!!!"
    Where does Agenda 21 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    It's the best book that I have read! I haven't had a book that draws you in and makes you feel like you are right there with the characters and all their emotions that they are feeling.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    I loved Emmeline and how she is discovering all the changes and how she evolves to a strong woman.


    Which character – as performed by January LaVoy – was your favorite?

    Emmeline was the best character performed by January and her voice made her come to life.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    The Fast and Furious Future of The Unknown America


    Any additional comments?

    A must read for people that quench for truth and knowledge.

    "I really enjoyed this book"
    What did you love best about Agenda 21?

    I love the entire subject. Reminded me of a book I read back in 2000 called the Illuminati by Larry Burkett.


    Have you listened to any of January LaVoy’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I thought the narrator was great. Very soothing voice


    Any additional comments?

    I never really had an ending. What did I miss? the book just stopped when the girl got out the fence and ran and then Beck came in with his announcement. Was that the ending? I felt I was left incomplete. Or maybe I didn't get the whole book?

    "A good look at the extreme result of Agenda 21"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes I would, while I am all about taking care of our earth, we must do so with balance. This books helps you to see the direction that local and even the federal government is slowly taking. While I saw slowly, it could easily become quickly and drastic.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Agenda 21?

    There were several but hard for me to write down, I enjoyed the detailed descriptions of the people envolved and of course the Afterward.


    What about January LaVoy’s performance did you like?

    Unlike a few others, I though she did a good job, it was easy to listen to, and she gave depth to the people she discribed. I even enjoyed her "man" voice.

    "Juvenile writing. Bad editing/rush to publication"
    Would you try another book from Glenn Beck and/or January LaVoy?

    I have most of Glenn's books but this is the first including Ms. Harriet Parke. I found the writing/dialogue juvenile. The imagery was far to weird for a period in time not that far removed from the pre-Republic era. For the first time in my life, as I was listening to the book, from scene to scene I thought, "I could have written such a better storyline"; and I'm not a writer! I have no doubt in my mind that this book was rushed from conception to publication. It could have been so much better. So so much better.


    Would you ever listen to anything by Glenn Beck again?

    Actually I'd be interested in a re-write of THIS book by another author. Agenda 21 has the potential to be a great read and a great movie.


    Would you listen to another book narrated by January LaVoy?

    Because I was continually distracted by the poor writing, the negative impression carried through to Ms. Lavoy's performance. As this was the first time I've heard her narrate a book I'd try at least one more by her before I make a firm decision.


    Any additional comments?

    I appreciate your work Glenn, but this is a real stinker!

    "Is there really an Agenda 21"

    The story was engaging and I didn't want to put it down. It's a good story about what could happen in a Socialist type society when pushed to the extremes. What is interesting to listen to is the commentary at the end where the author discusses Agenda 21 and the ramifications he envisions if any or all parts are put into play. Some I agree with, some I disagree with. I have to admit my ignorance of such a summit and such a document. I just googled "Agenda 21" and downloaded the document. In these days where the World's current structure is collapsing all around us, it could be a good document to read and understand.

    "It's bad."

    I'm a Glenn Beck fan - have most of his books, love his radio show, etc.. This is awful. The actress reading the novel and acting the parts is terrible. The plot is laughable. It might as well have been called The Vagina Monologue, but that title is already taken. This may be the most evil thing brought about by Agenda 21, which I do view as a threat to the United States. Skip it.

    "A Riveting Story!!!"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    If you like scary stories of hellish futures that are all too plausible, I highly recommend Agenda 21. When moral values decline both individually and collectively, levels of suggestibility increase to unbelievably high levels, resulting in dictatorship of one form or another. The world of Agenda 21 is a vision of earthly Hell that is a mix between a totalitarian state blended with environmental extremism and animal rights gone mad. If you don't think something like this is plausible, simply take a look at real world accounts of life under totalitarian dictatorships of various kinds and then substitute the Agenda 21 details.


    What about January LaVoy’s performance did you like?

    January LaVoy does an excellent job of bringing the book to life.


    Any additional comments?

    Agenda 21 should cause us to redouble our efforts aimed towards moral revival as individuals and as a society. There is NO political solution to the human condition. Only genuine morals demonstrate any hope of change. Otherwise we are headed for a 21st Century dark age, enforced by technology. Without genuine moral values human beings are simply programmable, reproducible, vicious animals that give the word "animal" a bad name.

    "Is there really an Agenda...?"

    the 1984 of today's literature...
    Set in the future... but not far enough.
    A Fiction Novel... at least for now.

    This book paints a picture that can't be imagined... and shouldn't.

    There is a reason that Hitler came to power... by the will of his people.
    There is a reason that President Obama is in charge of the US now.
    There is a reason that gun sales have increased... and that taxes are placed on ammo.

    Read this book as soon as you can... and share it with a friend.

    Story
    "1984 for 21st Century America"
    What did you love best about Agenda 21?

    The best part of this book is the afterword. In this section Beck gives a brief history of the all-too-real United Nations action plan called Agenda 21. In the afterword Beck traces the evolution of what would eventually become Agenda 21 from the early 1970's through its present day implementation by local governments across the US. Beck also connects specific initiaves and goals from Agenda 21, citing chapter and verse from the action plan, with elements with the seemingly far-fetched elements of the story. Reading the novel by itself, a person who does not immerse themselves in the strange goings-on of the leftist environmental crusaders at the United Nations would never for a second think that this story was based on anything other than the author's vivid (and possibly warped) imagination. Unfortunately, the thing that makes this 1984-goes-green novel come to life is the afterword, which points the reader to the theories and documents in which it is grounded.


    Would you be willing to try another book from Glenn Beck? Why or why not?

    I would most definetly listen to more books from Glenn Beck. With Glenn Beck you know what you are getting - a right-wing conservative who opposes socialism and champions capitalism. He is quite upfront regarding who he is ideologically, and what his purpose is. Knowing that, one is able to focus what Beck says and writes through the prizm of his conservatism, doing appropriate research to determine whether or not questionable things that Beck says, which challenge the reader's paradigm, are true. One may not always agree with Beck's ideas or assertions, but one cannot say that he is not documented in all he writes, or that he does not do his research. This type of transparency is refreshing in the media, when so many journalists and pundits claim to be "fair and balanced", or "perfectly impartial observers", when, in fact, they all have their own biased presuppositions.


    What does January LaVoy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    January LaVoy's narration was expressive and her voice was pleasant. While the production was not dramatized, neither was it simply a sterile reading of text. LaVoy was intuitive in her performance, and her use of emotion was appropriate.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes.


    Any additional comments?

    This book reminded me a lot of Orwell's 1984, in that no real mention is made of how the world reached its dystopian state. Also, the indispensable afterword was, to me, reminicent of the Brotherhood's Manifesto, which is featured prominently in 1984. I would have liked for the author to have spent a little more time explaining how the changes from the "before time" happened to bring society to its present place. Without more of that transition explanation, I'm not sure the connection between the setting of the novel (the societal make-up and organization of the Republic) and Agenda 21 would be as clear as it could be to someone who is only casually interested in these issues, or politics in general. At any rate, it is imperative to dig in to the actual UN Agenda 21, which is readily available on the internet. Only after doing so will the truly terrifying nature of this work be driven home to the reader.
