EW didn’t receive a review copy of this book, so we have not actually read it (consider this top of my weekend to-do list), but here are some reactions from other critics:

Rush knew that sending them a copy was counter productive.

One does not feed his enemies before the battle, better let them starve on sour grapes

Let us hope and pray the day is near when we can “flush” these damn libturds and be done with them. Spray a little air freshener and consign them to a very important chapter in the history books. Titled “Never let this happen again!”

I like the way the author subtly suggests that Rush won because of fraudulent voting.

That’s a typical liberal strategy, but don’t ever suggest to them that there is any fake voting in actual elections.

Liberals believe, as a matter of faith, that the opinions of critics are far more valid than that of actual consumers (readers, viewers, etc). According to liberals, critics are much smarter than regular people, and they are especially good at deciding what kids like and enjoy.

I know from experience, when I was a kid, most of the critically approved books for kids left me stone cold.

But give me a Tom Swift book, and I was in heaven!

What a great idea-let the kids decide what they like, and forget what the pointy headed liberals think.

Congratulations to Rush!

Who actually voted on the award? Probably not the Liberal “do as I say, not as I do” mob!

The electorate for these awards are the kids themselves. Naturally, they cannot be trusted to select books THEY like, but must instead read the bilge foisted upon them by assorted "experts" and their "betters".

I trust the /sarc tag is unnecessary here.

EW is pissed that the folks deciding the Children’s Choice Book Award didn’t check the official black-list before giving out the award.

The comments range from semi-intelligent to abhorent. Two questions for the Communists:
1. If this country is so awful, wht are you still here?

2. How come you don’t care about the corruption today - DeathCare, VA scandal, Fast and Furious, drones to kill Americans, an economy that is still in the crapper after 6 years of trillion dollar giveaways, and on and on?

Congratulations to Rush! He created books that actually TELL what out history is not what someone fabricates.

EWwwww.... Is the biggest fluff and crap Holly-weird self congratulatory magazine. When “The Passion of the Christ” came out, what ever your opinion of it is, they gave it absolutely no ink. As if it never happened.

Rush Limbaugh, who penned the darkhorse (pun intended)

Where's the pun?

“I didn’t read the article but let me tell you how dumb the author of this article is”

Perfect retort.

Didn’t get a review copy???? What a pathetic whine.

Since the book is obviously being sold, why not spend a few bucks and buy the darned thing?

I read this review of Rush’s book:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/712685768

A barf alert is in order if you click on the link.

I learned these important things about the way liberals “think”:

1. The book is BS because time travel is impossible.
2. You shouldn’t read the book because Rush said something bad about Sandra Fluck.
3. The hat Rush is wearing on the cover of the book wasn’t in use at the time of the Pilgrims.
4. There were no horses on the Mayflower.
5. Rush avoided the draft.
6. Rush is a drug addict and the book is about drug abuse.
