Rating:  Summary: Tell me something I don't know. Review: Too bad OReily didn't have a good Editor. He could have said it all in 1,200 words or less. OReily reveals nothing new and is down right boring. I have seen better written, edited and formated books by self publishers.
Rating:  Summary: The O'Reilly Factor Review: I watch O'Reilly every night and I recommend this book to everyone, young and old. He is one of the few in the newsmedia not afraid to "tell it as he sees it." He is a hero to me!!
Rating:  Summary: Great entertainment as well as advice for life Review: This book is quite insightful. O'Reilly offers a lot of his own advice for living a good, honest life. This book has a lot to offer people of differing political bases. If you have ever watched The O'Reilly Factor you probably know how Bill O'Reilly thinks, and you will read a lot of those same opinions in this book. However, I think the highlights of this book are all of O'Reilly's short anecdotes, stories, and life experiences scattered throughout the entire book. They are about growing up, politics, the media, and tons of the silly and stupid things people have done. These stories and personal experiences are entertaining by themselves, and they are the main reasons why I recommend this book.
Rating:  Summary: I enjoyed this book. Review: I enjoyed this book very much. Bill O'Reilly's show is always interesting and thought provoking. I found the book to have the same qualities and a must read for every citizen, even if you sometimes disagree with some of his ideas. I think that some of the negative reviews are from people who have not read his book. I feel that before you can give a negative review you should at least TRY reading the book first. You might be surprized at how Mr. O'Reilly's book hits home on several topics. I am a liberal gay Latino and I agreed with several points in his book. Keep it Real O'Reilly. Can't wait for the next book.
Rating:  Summary: Thank God for Honesty Review: Bless you Bill O'Reilly for putting into print what a lot of us have been thinking for years! I was at your recent book signing in NYC and was amazed that I'm not alone. This country is in the middle of the greatest class struggle since the turn of the century -- and it's not getting all that much better. Subliminal message -- run for office, run for office, run for office (P.S. be nice to those people in Florida!)
Rating:  Summary: Typical Bill O'Reilly, otherwise known as 'Average' Review: Maybe 1/2 point above average. Now this was an interesting book. I was pleased to see Rep. Charles Rangel on the good list. That made my day. The book was a fun read and very interesting. His numerous 'exploits' were fun, but I didn't learn anything I didn't already know. I know that relationships are totally private, I know that bad kids will spring up no matter what, and I also already know that Bill really hates the Clintons for no reason other than his own personal biases. And I'd like to tell Mr. O'Reilly something here. Bill, you wrote an O.K. book. Congratulations. I recommend this one if you are looking for some fun and thoughtful reading without searching for an intellectual discussion.
Rating:  Summary: My Talking Points Review: I'm in my first year in college and this book was exactly what I needed in order to see what will lay ahead of me when I start living on my own. I always knew that to succeed in America, one must play the "game," but Mr. O'Reilly's view with experience is truly enlightening for us, the naive youth. For the people that love to disagree with him, O'Reilly has an opinion about almost every facet of American life. One question Bill... A few years ago in high school I wrote an opinion paper and used "you," alot and received a C because of that grammatical error. How the heck did YOU get away with it?!
Rating:  Summary: Bias? Review: Who ever said that a book, written by anyone, could not be bias?!?!?! Just because Bill O'Reilly's profession is Journalism, doesn't mean that the man cannot write a book that expresses his own views, no matter how bias. I havn't even bought the book yet. I will buy it because I am interested in what the author has to say, not because everyone else is buying it. In fact, this will be a great Christmas gift for my husband. All I can say to the reviewers that seem to think making nasty comments about someone who feels free to give his insights is, let he who is without opinion cast the first stone.
Rating:  Summary: Read this book Review: This is a worthy book but 10 Things You Can't Say in America by Larry Elder is even better.
Rating:  Summary: A good blueprint. But some people can't handle the truth. Review: Okay, this isn't the absolute truth, it's a matter of opinion. I am 24 years old and just had one of the biggest shocks and upsets of my life. If only I could have read this book 6 years ago! Well, I'm young enough still that I can do a lot with my life and Bill really creates a great blueprint for that. If you don't agree with it, fine, but some of the media critics hate it because it contains a lot of truth. Bill, we need a sequel.
