Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This book is unfortunate
Review: The author of this book, and the book itself, suck.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not good at all...
Review: sorry people, but this book sucks because maddox says so.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: get a life
Review: Regardless of the quality of the book, those of you who hate it simply because Maddox did need to get a life and an opinion. You are a disgrace to Maddox and his site. Maddox has intelligence and you're leeching off it pretending it's yours. Stop relying on him to give you opinions and get a life.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not really sure what happened here.
Review: O'Reilly is a bit of an enigma. I am always astounded by people who get the most rewards, by putting in the least amount of effort. This man gets huge amounts of sucsess, and acclaim, while he puts in little effort into his arguments. I really couldn't care less about where O'Reilly stands on the political spectrum of things, if he creates a well structured argument, with good points, the more power to the man. This book hardley accomplishes that. Now I am a liberal person, but i do think the republicans have some good points on their sides, and I also think to have an opinion on politics, you need to look at things from both sides. O'Reilly's view just seems so skewed and narrow, that it's hard to get something truly meaningful from this book. I honestly think if O'Reilly ahd invested more effort into this book, it would have been a great book, with great political commentarary. If you are an O'Reilly fan, than buy this book. If you're trying to formulate a well reasoned political opinon avoid this book it will not help you.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ignorant literature
Review: Despite being decidedly liberal, I do often read conservative literature to ensure that I am well versed on the issues; that said, I have even enjoyed some of these books despite not agreeing with their subject matter. O'Reilly, on the other hand, completely disregards logic by producing a selfish, narcissistic book that should make republicans ashamed. I am not against republicans, I am against Bill O'Reilly. I give him 5 stars for ignorance, and 1 star for his book.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I just love how nobody can think for themselves anymore...
Review: How probably half these reviews are from people who didn't even know who Bill O'Reilly was until they read about him on Maddox's site. I love Maddox's site...but what I don't love are people who feel that everything he says is right and no matter what he believes, there going to believe it also.

You people are no worse than Bill O'Reilly, you people are actually the type of people that Maddox writes about. People who will believe whatever is fed to them. Maybe this man is a hypocrite, I don't know, don't care...but that's no reason to get on Amazon and copy/paste Maddox quotes in the review section and call it your own.

People, get a life, get your OWN life...stop letting some guy on a website influence you so much. Start thinking on your own, watch his show, READ THE BOOK, THEN post your own opinions. Until then, stop this nonsense.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Reading this book is like drinking poo poo butter
Review: Bill O'Reilley seriously deserves to get Peter North'ed right in the face for this disgrace. He probably got this way from spending his time sitting around douching his old lady all night.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: this book sucks
Review: bill'oreily is a fraud. He is a American Suprimist with a bunch of non college educated yankees trying to get up his all mighty ass. only a truly uneducated person could so so low to insult other as unpartriotic if they do not follow his opinion.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: kiss my shiny metal @ss
Review: never read the book, don't know who this guy is, but if Maddox hates him then so do i

all hail king maddox!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Positively Terrible
Review: Allow me to give some background on myself. I am a staunch Republican, and consider myself to be fairly well read. Unlike most right-wing fanatics, i welcome challenges to my political views, and I actually search out some challenges by reading left-wing media publications. I've read all of Al Franken's books, as well as Michael Moore's. I've seen Michael Moore's movies (very well done), and i actually loved Franken's most recent book, Lying Liars. I felt it helped to out the more insane and fanatical right wing nuts, such as Ann Coulter and Mr. O'Reilly.
O'Reilly's latest "No Spin Zone" dribble attacks the media and celebrities of contemporary America, usually without provacation and without point. Instead of saying things that actually have evidence to back them up, he whines and whines, and generally comes off sounding like the jealous, brooding kid in high school who constantly mutters to himself, "That should be me...I deserve it more than them..."
Most of the book is actually paraphrased transcripts of his TV show on FoxNews, "The Factor". In this, Bill consistantly invites guests onto his show for the sole purpose of belittling them, cutting them off after asking questions, and mostly just preaching to them how they should act and live.
I think Bill O'Reilly is as real as pro-wrestling (i am a huge wrestling fan). Sure, its great entertainment when taken with a grain of salt, and Bill does a good job playing the "Bad Guy" character, but if people actually buy into his preaching as truth or reality, then something is seriously wrong.
In closing, let me point out that i am also a huge Maddox fan, not because i think he's some kind of political figure or prophet, but because he's damn funny.
If you wanna read this book, go ahead, but I'd advise you to read Al Franken's book, Lying Liars, immediately after to balance it out.
