Ventura surprised many skeptics and sent party politics into turmoil, proving that third parties can be effective, at least at the state level. I like listening to him but sometimes I wonder if he realizes that his previous TV career had a lot to do with his popularity and successful bid for election. I might read it again someday.

While I find Ventura's views interesting, they are also over-simplified and seem to lack an understanding of some of the more complex issues that are faced on a wider national and international stage, seeming to have a more narrow view of a state governor, especially in the area of international relations. Mostly, Ventura wants small government to preserve civil liberties, and appears socially liberal precisely because he thinks government should be small.

This book almost reminded me of Canterbury Tales. Refresh and try again. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Written in a fashion reminiscent of "Travels with Charlie" (unfortunately, the style of writing is not quite on par with Steinbeck's). When I recieved the book it had several dents and a tear on the front cover because it was only wrapped in a very thin plasticbag for protection. The book reads like flash paper, and seems to have been written in about as much time, mostly comprised of Ventura's tape-recorded reflections as he and his wife drive to Mexico .
This is one i picked up at a yard sale. Even as a Minnesotan I learned a lot about Jesse's time in office from this book. Don't Start the Revolution Without Me!

James Janos recreated himself as Jesse Ventura and made his living, famously, as a professional wrestler, wearing feather boas, and long blond locks and acting brash and flamboyant, more like a surfer dude than a Midwesterner This persona made it even more amazing that he was able to capture the governor's office in Minnesota, his native state. I've just started this one. Is he always right? Good job Gov.! Pleasantly surprised by how well this book kept my interest and attention. There are no discussion topics on this book yet.

He spends half the year in Baja, Mexico and the other half in his home state of Minnesota. I think that is why I found it to be kind of a boring read. Even as a Minnesotan I learned a lot about Jesse's time in office from this book. The first 2/3 of the book read like you're overhearing a conversation between Jesse and his wife. But I am sure that she has muttered it under her breath at times, too. This book really surprised me.
I fully enjoyed this book (as I expected to) but wish that he would have gone into greater depth with his thoughts and ideas. His credibility is indisputable. Very good book so far.

Jesse a pro-wrestler who was Governor of Minnesota has lived an interesting life. He is not politically correct and it comes through as an honest account of how he saw things. Interesting read, but I find it difficult to take several aspects of it seriously. Unknown Binding – January 1, 2008 4.3 out of 5 stars 125 ratings. It's easy to view JFK and believe the conspiracy theories.
It's pretty damned easy to yell patriotic phrases and wish God's blessing on the troops from the far distant sidelines; it's also blatantly disingenuous. Jesse may be a bit of an odd ball but he raises some very good questions, the initial one considering if it is worth the damage the media (and political machine) does to ones family when considering a run for president. His life has been colourful and interesting,, and every page of this book affirmed my high opinion of him. Jesse Ventura is the only man who could've pulled this off. It's about time we woke up and started fighting for our rights and freedoms. By Jesse Ventura.
