Michael Medved
In Right Turns, Medved recounts his incredible journey from secularism to religion, from adventurous single man to devoted and doting husband and father, from gloomy critic of "our sick society" to optimistic and impassioned promoter of American patriotism. With conviction but without vitriol, he relates his sometimes painful but ultimately illuminating process of maturation. Right Turns is a candid, often funny, thoroughly captivating memoir that says a lot about the interplay of the personal and the political.

I too made a Right Turn as I matured.
The author shares a lot of personal details and information about his faith and family. At times that got a little too wordy. This is definitely an autobiographical account. He admits his own failings which can either be interpreted as humble or shameless --you decide. I admire him for his daringness which explains how he was able to get a good understanding of real people. (However being a woman and a parent I could never participate in nor advise his method (hitchhiking) as he was able to safely do--a sad commentary on the present state of our society.) He definitely has not lived in a bubble.
Although the story stops in the early 2000s many of the issues he describes, especially in regards to the media, continue to impact us. The groundwork for cancel culture is all laid out there.
The narration was excellent. I played it at 110% with no problem. My only real complaint is that the chapters in Audible seem to have no relation to the chapters in the book. The Audible's 23 chapters are each about 45 minutes but begin in the middle of chapters. (I believe the book has 35 chapters and the narrator announced the book chapter number and title as he began each.)
I would recommend Right Turns for anyone interested in an eyewitness to history type account, who would just like to understand the environment and background in which today's issues evolved or who just wants to understand conservative baby-boomers a little better.

I gave it 4/5 stars overall because like I said, I'm not the biggest fan of biographies, they aren't going to really change your life, but Medved, as a professional broadcaster, did a lively job narrating the book.
The book as I recall talks about his politics only as it applies to his bio, but is not a preachy political book, so liberals or conservatives who like contemporary biographies would like it and not be put off.
Very interesting biography

This is a special kind of artistry, and the story should appeal to people of various political stripes.
Love the personal touch

An interesting life!

Medved makes the mistake of setting up his oligarchical position and then selectively pulling experiences from his past to try and justify this position. The moths have laid havok to the fabric of Medveds arguments, and I must reluctantly admit that through these holes I have seen the Emporer's new clothes.
Wow, a fan is lost!
