Swim Against the Current: Even a Dead Fish Can Go with the Flow

This charmingly irascible little book attempts to take on the powers that be and give Americans a new way of running their businesses, finances and lives. Hightower and DeMarco offer a straightforward reading that will intrigue listeners with their ideas and beliefs. Hightower's narration is more upbeat and entertaining than DeMarco's; she drones through her own antiestablishment rant in a monotonous tone that makes one wonder if she truly believes what she's muttering. Hightower sounds less like he is reading and more like he is delivering a colorful speech, littered with his own disarming wit. Not for everyone, but certainly worth a listen for those looking for change. Simultaneous release with the Wiley hardcover (reviewed online).
