Summary: "If guns cause crime, mine are defective!!!" - Nuge, page 99
Review: Nugent speaks for many as he details his hunting exploits, thoughts on guns, family, and music. He has the ability to shut down a namby-pamby argument fast and provide facts backing up his opinions.I found his tales of boyhood hunts with Fred Bear most enlightening. As one who primarly knows Ted from the "Rock n Roll" side of the equation, it was good to learn that a vocal pro-gun, pro-hunting advocate has his family priorities straight.

Summary: Guns, Guns & Guns
Review: I'm a big fan of Ted the man and Ted the musician. But contrary to the title, this book has very little in it about God or rock 'n' roll. Leaving -- you guessed it -- guns, guns and guns. That's 300-plus pages of Ted hunting, Ted's kids hunting, Ted's favorite guns, Ted's views on guns, Ted's views on hunting, Ted's hunting friends, Ted and the NRA .... While I actually agree with most of what Ted has to say, I would like to point out that as a musician he should know the danger of playing the same note over and over.

Summary: IN YOUR FACE
Review: Ted Nugent refuses to be ignored. Like him or not he speaks his mind. This book is Ted's views on guns and family first and foremost. About his views on God and to a lessor extent his career. This book will be an eye opener to those who don't know much about Ted and his views. Those that see him as a 'long hair' or a 'drug taking rock and roller'. Those that have followed him for years will enjoy the book as Ted once again standing up to be counted. Throughout the book he states opinions for guns, for child disciplin, for hunting (he has fed his family for over 30 years without store bought meat), for carrying weapons, for God, for family (his greatest pride), for the Constitution of the United States, for the NRA, for involvement with government and your elected officials, for police officers and on and on. At the same time he has just as strong statements against television, news reporters, being a "sheep", Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Sarah Brady, Janet Reno, Bill Bradley, Dianne Feinstein, stoned hippies, intellectual bankruptcy, drugs, alcohol, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, crime, unwanted pregnancies, plastic bags, junk food, gangbangers, laughable saggy-pants rappers, the list is endless. He laments the lost values of quite family time and the sit down dinner. He offers his own perspectives on many of the gun crimes in recent years. Counters the commonly heard statistics with some from government agencies not normally heard from, including the CDC. This book is a wonderful insight into Ted Nugent, the man, an American original. Perhaps if more American's would follow Ted's example we would be in better shape today as a country. This was a very enjoyable book, read it and think on it.

Summary: for the hunter and non-hunter
Review: If your hunter your collection is not completewith out this book. It will remind you of the reason that you started hunting and why you can't sleep the night before a hunt. If your a non-hunter, (then I'm sorry) this book well help you understand why lots of men and women hunt (hell, you may just start hunting).

Summary: A Love of God, Lots of Guns, Always Rock 'n' Roll
Review: As an admitted gun nut and second amendment enthusiaist, you can guess that I ate this book up. The Motor City Madman is a favorite rock'n'roller of mine -- I've listened to his music, seen him perform (only on video, unfortunately), and enjoyed watching/hearing him heat things up on talk shows. His brutal honesty and stinging opinions appeal to me and are presented in a very unrelenting way in his book. I didn't open this book with any expectations other than hearing how the three things mentioned in the title work in his life, and, for me, Ted showed that.
While I don't hunt, Ted's experiences gave me an appreciation for it, and I hope someday to bond with my future son in a similar way, patiently waiting and tracking game, giving thanks to God for all the incredible, natural, renewable resources we've been given. Yes, I'm sure he could have given more lip-service to conservation, but I think the reader "gets that" by the way Ted speaks reverently about game, habitat, and eating what he kills (not just pure trophy hunting). If you have any p.e.t.a.-leaning tendencies, you may as well move on because you'll find no love from the Nuge.
I also appreciated his chapters devoted to family. Two parent families are a bit endangered these days, and Ted visits this important issue, arguing that when you leave God, Mom, and Dad out of the picture, and replace it with (among other things) government, you develop the problems we've got today.
So, when all is done, and all the rants have taken place, you get a pretty good idea of what makes Ted and his family tick, how much he loves this country and our inalienable rights, how valuable and important it is to have an armed citizenry, and how great it is to eat meat that you killed yourself.

Summary: Willing to stand up and be counted
Review: Willing to stand up and be counted, that's what Ted Nugent does in this book. I am not a gun owner or hunter, but loved this book. However, even though a large part of the book is devoted to hunting, the most compelling reading is when Nugent goes after the people in our society that want to blame guns for crime instead of holding people to be accountable for there own actions. He backs up his arguments with facts, not opinions.
The book starts with a riveting account of Nugent interceding in a pistol whipping of a police officer right on a Florida highway. If that story doesn't get your attention, then check your pulse. The rest of the book is just as interesting, you'll have trouble putting this book down until it is finished.

Summary: A must read if enjoy firearms or Ted Nugent
Review: I doubt many live as Ted does. His book gives a glimpse of his healthy family life, what drives him, and the rules he lives by. His world is not perfect, but only because not enough of us live as Ted does. And Live he does.

Summary: Pass on this one!
Review: First, let me say I have lived in Michigan all my life and I have always been a fan of Ted Nugent. However, the title of this book should be "Guns, Hunting, and more Guns." I was at least expecting some discussion of his life in and out of rock and roll. This book is one hunting and gun story after another and it wears thin about 50 pages into it. I respect Ted and totally believe in free speech and the other rights guaranteed by our constitution. However, Ted leads us to believe that his view is the only "right" one and if you don't think like him then you must be wrong. I lost a LOT of respect for him after reading this. This book is 100% pure DRIVEL!

Summary: Nugent the Philosopher
Review: See God, Guns, 'N' Rock & Roll for a portrait of a washed-up non-artist. His mediocre "rock star" career behind him, Nugent tries desperately to stay in the limelight any way he can. In his latest attempt to stave off infamous anonymity, Nugent casts himself as a crusader, waging a holy war against tasty wildlife. Nugent's deliberately confrontational ideology boils down to this: "Let's use guns to kill wild animals. Natural selection favors gun owners over deer, and besides killing animals with guns is a fun bonding ritual for the whole family, especially when compared to smoking crack. Also, let's not forget that God loves the NRA."

Summary: TED AT HIS FINEST
Review: Eventhough I don't always agree with him and sometimes think he gets too windy I can't say how glad I am as a gun owner,hunter,outdoorsman,familyman, and an American that Ted is doing what he does and the stand he takes for his beleifs and America's. This book was GREAT and reads very quickly. It made me chuckle when the things Ted says hit the nail on the head so sharply he knows his stuff and brings it to you STRAIGHT. This is a must read for all proud Americans ecspecially in these times
