RUSH LIMBAUGH An Army of One

A master entertainer, popular radio voice, and leader of the conservative political movement is profiled by Chafets, who expanded his NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE cover story with significant research and interviews, including unprecedented access to Limbaugh himself. Erik Synnestvedt’s audio performance provides an engaging and informative tone as the author recounts compelling stories about Limbaugh’s life—even the parts we already know about. Synnestvedt’s narration is appropriately even-toned, youthful, and enthusiastic as the author describes Limbaugh’s grand tastes, satiric humor, and relationship with his father, who was his hero. The result is an enjoyable romp, despite the abrupt jumps forward and backward in time. W.A.G. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2010]
