Reviews
Thank goodness, then, for the blast of fresh air that is Jesse 'the Body' Ventura. . . . When it comes to the battle between liberal sanctimony and conservative obstinance known as the culture wars, he appeals to both sides. . . . The college crowd likes him because he calls out corporate greed and isn't afraid to connect the dots between rich donors and the legislative process. (He was also once a visiting fellow at Harvard, thereby making him, by his own account, a Harvard professor.) The 'real folks' like him because he never finished college himself, thereby proving that hard work (like professional wrestling) can take you further than a fancy degree. --Los Angeles Times
