Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Thoroughly enjoyable and intellectually compelling… Noonan captures her subjects—people and society, moments and eras—with an excellence and durability.” —American Spectator
"[The Time of Our Lives] is an examination of the soul of a politics and a culture…This book helps, by teaching, encouraging, challenging, chronicling—by giving thanks and raising grave concerns, too, but always laced with hope illuminated by faith.” —National Review
“Terrific…It’s just great thinking turned to print.” —Buffalo News (New York)
“In this impressive collection of speeches and journalistic commentaries, readers hear the convention-defying voice that has made Noonan a national presence as an exponent of conservatism…A refreshingly spontaneous and engaging collection.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Superb…[Noonan’s] insights are acute, sharply stated, and extremely moving…[A] powerful collection.” —Publishers Weekly
“The narration of the book is a team effort. Noonan reads the introduction and does a credible job setting the book’s tone. The rest of the chapters alternate between the bright, sunny voice of Betsy Foldes Meiman and the smokier, more atmospheric-sounding Rena Marie Villano. Both do a terrific job of interpreting Noonan’s words, and each makes valuable contributions to the book’s tone and message. The result is a fascinating jaunt through America’s recent past and a set of ideas that will inform its future” —AudioFile
