Summary: Narcissus reborn
Review: Bill O'Reilly couldn't report the news so now he wants to live as a commentator, the mondern day watchman over truth, justice and the American Way. yuck, yuck, gag. He writes and speaks in third person, how bizarre is that. Save your money and your eyes, don't buy this book or accept if handed to you.

Summary: More Bill O Liely
Review: Okay Bill,The Kay report has been released: No WMD's. The Whitehouse now admits that there were none. Tenet says that there never were any WMD's. Intelligence reports were (variously) misread, not read, misquoted, misunderstood. All of which are massive failures or deceptions by the administration. Black and white. Yet you still haven't apologized. The clock is ticking Bill. Your book(s) suck and are pretty much all fiction. In the name of truth in advertising you should really change the name of your show to "The O'Liely Factor - Spin Zone".

Summary: Thought provoking, but too forcing
Review: My main qualm with this book is how the author claims he is simply expressing his opinion, and says that each person is entitled to his opinion, however he will then slam you in the face (figuratevly speaking, did I spell that right) that his opinions are right, and that it does not matter what others think. He never will flat out say it, but he will make it clear that he does not care about other people's opinions and that the only right person is himself.

Summary: A Great Read!
Review: O'Reilly is just as good on paper as he is on TV. He gives you his opinion on the good the bad and the ridiculous in American life. He's not afraid to expose the lies and deceptions on both the right and the left. If you love O'Reilly's daily program then you will love this book. It is set up in the same format and will keep you reading until the end. Its a great read!

Summary: Bill O-LIE- Ly - Completely Ridiculous in American Life
Review: C'mon Bill. Address it, already. It will be amusing to hear you spin your way out of your contradiction. It's good TV.
Few things more entertaining than when one of Murdoch's right wing puppets puts his foot in his mouth, then has to back peddle:
Bill O'Reilly - March 18 Good Morning America:
"if the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it's clean, he has nothing, I will apologize to the nation, and I will not trust the Bush Administration again." . . . if he has 8,500 liters of anthrax that he's not going to give up, even though the United Nations demanded that he do that, we are doing the right thing. If he doesn't have any weapons, then we are doing the wrong thing." Bill O'Reilly - April 22, The O'Reilly Factor:
"if weapons of mass destruction aren't found,... I will have to apologize because I bought into it..." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday, January 09, 2004
By Bill O'Reilly
Things might change, but right now it looks like the CIA overestimated the weapons of mass destruction (search) threat in Iraq.
This of course is embarrassing to the U.S. and President Bush should address the issue. If U.S. intelligence made a mistake then let's admit it -- there are too many America-haters making propaganda with the situation and some of them are right here at home. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace -- a left-wing organization -- is accusing the Bush administration of purposely misleading the country. But if you buy that argument you also have to buy that Bill Clinton, Dick Gephardt and Tony Blair were also in on the big con for they saw the same intelligence Mr. Bush did and came to the same conclusion: Saddam was harboring deadly weapons and could easily distribute them to terrorists. So the lie theory is bull, but the mistake is real and it's a big mistake. The Bush administration should own up. Maybe it will and there is a slight chance Saddam will tell the world what really happened to the sarin gas and other stuff. A slight chance. Americans are a forgiving people and we all make mistakes. We are now living in an age of ideological demagoguery where honest mistakes are turned into lies by ruthless, dishonest individuals. It makes me sick. But in order to be forgiven the mistake must be acknowledged and so far the President has failed to do that. To be fair he may be waiting for the final Kay report and that's legit. But Mr. Bush should be careful with this WMD deal -- he has alienated many of his supporters with the immigration decision and the president cannot afford to have his core become disenchanted. Full disclosure is always the best policy especially when American troops are dying. Mr. Bush has enjoyed the confidence of most Americans up to this point but that confidence should never be taken for granted. And that's The Memo.

Summary: A great book about the media and lies it tells!
Review: I like Bill O'Reilly because he is a straight shooter, and he knows what he is talking about. He is this kind of guy that will tell it to you straight and not be all kiss-ass about it.
Bill's book talks about the wrongs of the media bashing celebrities and politicians: President Bush being one of them by CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and the list goes on, and very wrong on a lot of issues like the Iraq war.
He also talks about how explicit rap lyrics are affecting our young culture, and how he came up, sort of like a little autobiography, and about the moral justice of American society and how it is affecting the young people, and all of us with tv showing explicit sex, and America's thirst for violence. This is a great book for someone who wants to get the low-down on the whole media thing, and also it gives a lot of good pointers in this book. Check it out, he's got a lot on his mind.

Summary: I would recommend this book....
Review: I would definitely recommend this book, even if you do not agree with many of O'Reilly's viewpoints. I think that this book has a very strong voice, and due to some of the controversial topics that he discusses and his very strong, and obviously unyielding opinions, the text encourages the reader to think about aspects in American life that are being dealt with and experienced daily. Though his organization is not extremely clear, the book is still easy to read and not too difficult to follow. His points are rather blatant and his direct tone is a refreshing change from the typical, politically correct and sugar coated text that is often read in other political literature. He also includes many personal stories to add to his opinions, which sometimes make him seem egoistical, but also makes the book more personal and more enjoyable to read.

Summary: O'REILLY TELLING IT LIKE IT IS
Review: "The Good, the Bad, and the Completely Ridiculous in American Life" Bill O'Reilly covers just about every topic you can think of from money to dating and politics. He really gives his opinion and shares with his readers his own experiences on different topics in the book and writes about all the ridiculous things that people do and say. He throws in "RIDICULOUS NOTE", "BACKUP STATS" and "THIS JUST IN" on almost every page, little inserts of different stupid things that are done these days. For example one "RIDICULOUS NOTE" tells about a "Relationship expert, Barbara De'Angelis" who rakes in the money by giving people advice about love, but she is working on her fifth marriage. Or another one was how people buy a $900 fur coat for $600 with plastic thinking they got a bargain, but by the time they pay all the interest on their credit card their bargain cost them $1800. Bill O'Reilly isn't afraid to let you know what he thinks or tell you how things ought to be done. He says exactly what he feels like Clint Eastwood is "the shrewdest actor/director" he's ever met, "NFL Gear: garish caps, jackets and double-knit jerseys are eye pollution" and abortion is "brutal" and "Americans should abhor abortion not champion it", Tattoos really say "Beneath these silly pictures and slogans on my skin, I'm a dunce." People should step up and take responsibility like O'Reilly does in his book and on his show, The O'Reilly Factor.

Summary: Informative and Interesting - High-five to Mr. O'Reilly
Review: Is he Liberal or Conservative? After reading this book you will still have no clue. However, you will find out that Mr. Bill O'Reilly does have great views on a variety of different topics. He hits on topics from celebrities and how everyone wants to know every second of their lives to topics about sex and how it runs Americans lives these days. I read this book for a class and thought how bored I was going to be. I had watched Mr. O'Reilly on his television show and was not overcome with joy on having to read a book that he had written. Boy, was I mistaken. I could not find myself able to put the book down and I agreed on almost every one of his opinions.
Reading this book has given me a lot of different perspectives on life. One example being, parents are living their lives through their children. Giving their child everything they did not have during their own childhood. Taking their children on play dates or buying them those way too expensive toys from name brand stores.
Even though I was not excited to read this book, I am glad that I took the time to. This book has allowed me to analyze situations in a different way. This book has also made me enjoy listening to Mr. O'Reilly and I now find myself tuning in to watch is television show. If I could I would give Mr. Bill O'Reilly a giant pat on the back and a high-five for a job well done.
