From AudioFile
The former House speaker offers a lucid, thoughtful, and incisive view of the political issues of our day. For example, seventy percent or more of Americans, he says, agree on the key issues, with views that are generally conservative. The red state/blue state balance, created by the media, he believes, is largely a myth. Gingrich's wife, Callista, reads her husband's text competently but with no excitement. It would have been better, in this case, if the author had narrated his own book. But the production has bonuses. It features the former congressman delivering a speech to the American Enterprise Institute, followed by an interview of some length, conducted by Callista. So we do hear his voice, and it is both passionate and articulate. D.R.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine--

Reader ReviewsAll I can say is its about time someone wrote a book that isn't a down in the mouth, whimpering review of how bad it is. Newt Gingrich shows us how we can grab a future we'll be proud to leave our children and grand-children in Real Change. Let me also say that Real Change doesn't attempt to only Republicans, but makes arguments that should appeal to all Americans regardless of your political leanings. Why hasn't someone else shouted out these solutions? As another reviewer pointed out, most of us are not divided as a people. We all want the same things: affordable healthcare, education that educates, a healthy economy, and a national defense system that separates our friends from our foes. This is what Newt Gingrich says we can have. To get the country we want we need to hold our elected officials feet to the fire and demand real change. Make them serve us, the citizen and not some special interest group, including the well organized and politically saavy illegal immigrants. Notice, I said "illegal." I have nothing against immigrants who come into the country the way my grandparents came in....legally. Politicians need to know we want progress and will not accept the status quo. If you're tired of hearing the doom and gloomers, then Real Change is for you. Pick up a copy and you'll find yourself engrossed. This is a real page turner.....really. I highly recommend Real Change by Newt Gingrich. Peace to all.
