Summary: Interesting but not Great.
Review: I definitely agree with Hannity's central thesis in this book but I did not think it was worth the money I paid for it. He's a celebrity and that gives Let Freedom a certain air that it would not otherwise have. I found the narrator to be humorous but the writing is average at best.

Summary: Pretty Good
Review: Make no mistake, Sean Hannity is very conservative both socially and politically. But in his own words, Hannity is a conservative first and a Republican second, and this book remains essentially true to his self-description. On no issue is Sean Hannity anything remotely close to "radical" - he is a conservative. The only thing for sure is that Hannity is stark raving mad at the left, and in this book Hannity takes dead aim on some of the less-sophisticated left-wing ideas.The book is unabashedly and unashamedly conservative. It is destined to anger modern liberals, as a languid perusal of other reviews demonstrates more than adequately (although I seriously doubt most of those submitting harsh reviews actually read the book). The substance of the book is Hannity's stance on contemporary (2002) issues, the trend of American society in general, the left's bizarre infatuation with destroying the CIA, the left's insistence on the irrelevancy and uselessness of maintaining a strong military, the Pledge, parents and education, abortion, irrational environmentalism, explosive government and the taxes required to fuel it, etc. etc. etc. My personal favorite part of the book covered the rise of conservative media. In all, this is a nice exposition of one conservative viewpoint. But perhaps the largest contribution Hannity makes to the conservative movement is his final chapter, "What Really Matters," for he nails down precisely what drove me personally from an Independent to the Republican party - the left's insistence upon defending the Clinton administration no matter what the rational cost. Indeed, Clinton's disgraceful tenure, 9/11, and the left's frail stance on the War on Terror drove me - and a LOT of people I associate with - into the arms of the Republican party, despite our pro-choice et. al. social philosophies. Politics is politics, to be sure, but at the present juncture the rubber has met the road. Failure to recognize the distinction between good and evil has now taken center stage. One thing I didn't like so much, however, is the serious, serious religion that spills out in the closing chapter. While it is certainly true that a great deal of Christianity coincides with the good and right ways to live in civilization as we know it, such can be achieved by other means. (Of course, Hannity's conservativism is a Christian one, so I can't blame him for being a member of that particular faith - the point is that one can be a perfectly good secular conservative.) Other than that, the only other thing I'd have liked to see would be more precise citations, perhaps in footnote form.

Summary: Does anyone believe this garbage?
Review: I heard Hannity called "the new conservative genius." Maybe marketing genius. He knows his audience. He knows the majority of them aren't going to bother looking up anything he says or care about accuracy. A man lies in his news articles and is fired, but this guy lies in books and makes tons of money. Go figure. I read "Deliver Us from Evil", but I couldn't even finish this book. The man is very hateful and seems very angry. Liberals are just the scapegoat. Don't waste your time buying the book. It's all the same stuff you hear on his show. I wish I had more room to site many many examples in the book and exactly where to look up the actual facts that disprove him. Maybe next time he writes a book he should hire a team of fact checkers.

Summary: what a riot
Review: I thing there are at least 5 lies per page, which is pretty amazing considering the size of the typeface he uses... lol. Hey, the lies even start on the cover... I swear, that is the WORST photoshop job I have EVER seen...lol, just blur all the wrinkles and clone out the spots. What a phoney... just like the content of the book... if you can call it content.

Summary: Great Book
Review: Hannity really knows his stuff! A must-read for anyone who enjoys the right to be free in America and supports our great president!
Rating:
Summary: Makes a few good points
Review: I agree a lot with what he said, more than I thought I would,especially regarding those who view moderate expressions of patriotism as bad. Civil disgreement is one thing, but insults are another. I only dislike it when he starts to get personal with the other side.

Summary: An excellent read, by an excellent communicator.
Review: I don't know who these idiots are who keep giving this book (along with many other books by conservative authors) one-star ratings without having read it, but "Let Freedom Ring" is a great read. On the radio, television & in his books, Sean Hannity is an excellent communicator who articulates his ideas very well. Hannity tackles a broad variety of issues ranging from national security, education reform, abortion and the need for TAX REFORM, not just tax cuts. God bless you, Sean. This is a great book. I'm currently reading (and enjoying) "Deliver Us From Evil," and I look forward to another book from you, hopefully in the near future.

Summary: Crisp, Concise, Conservative Commentary
Review: This obvious politically-charged book, with "Winning the War of Liberty Over Liberalism" as a sub-title, incites powerful emotions and provokes serious thought about many issues of personal and national interest. Starting with the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks (Hannity's radio show began on Sept. 10, 2001), Hannity related how liberal thinking helped make those attacks more likely and how that same liberal thought process undermines traditional American values and threatens our basic freedoms and liberty. In detailed discussions about issues like taxes, welfare, defense, families, religion, abortion, character, leadership, education, intelligence, immigration, the media, patriotism, the environment, and civil liberties, Hannity was very clear in his opinions of what is right and what is wrong. Hannity wrote with the same candid passion and conservative perspective that have made him one of the country's most popular radio and television political commentators. The book was well-written and well-documented. Whether or not you agree with Hannity's beliefs or style, this book will provide a great snapshot of the American political differences between liberals and conservatives in the early 21st century. What you get out of this book should not surprise you if you know for what it is you are looking. If you are a conservative, this book will entertain you and reinforce many (if not all) of your values and beliefs. If you are a liberal, this book will probably upset you, but it will give you tremendous insight into the heart and soul of conservative political thinking. If you are undecided, this book makes a very compelling case for rejecting liberalism and embracing conservatism. Regardless of your political preferences, this book is worth reading and discussing.

Summary: A Fair and Balanced Review
Review: People should indeed read this book. Note that I said READ this book. I did not say anything about buying the book and wasting your money. Take it out of your public library, or perhaps borrow it from a gullible friend. I spent much of the last month reading both sides of what appears much like a court battle. Now in court, the prosecution goes first, and the defense follows, so the books I read and the order of reading were: (1) Slander ..., by Ann Coulter
(2) Treason ..., by Ann Coulter
(3) Let Freedom Ring ..., by Sean Hannity
(4) Big Lies ..., by Joe Conason
(5) The Hunting of the President ..., by Conason and Lyons
(6) Blinded by the Right ..., by David Brock Anyone who can take this little six-book journey and come away impressed by the likes of Coulter and Hannity has got to have a screw loose, in my humble opinion. Their so-called research doesn't hold up under the slightest scrutiny, and there are almost no primary sources listed in the "academic looking" end notes. This journey shows a person how "push-polling" works to slander a political opponent, how to lie with quarter-truths and innuendo effectively, and how to manipulate single-issue voters like the Religious Right with an anti-abortion stance, all the while selling those voter's children into effective slavery with Wal-Mart level jobs. To paraphrase a man from 50 years ago: "Have you no sense of decency, Hannity, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?" And indeed they don't. The only real question is how long we will allow ourselves to be distracted by this power-hungry side-show of neo-con partisans masquerading as journalists and investigators. How many Enrons and Jimmy Swaggerts does it take before we all see that the neo-cons have no clothes, just juicy book deals and radio shows designed to help loot the nation without us noticing. Maybe 30 years from now they will be willing to use their skills to relate "The Fall of the American Empire" to which they will have contributed so much.
