Those Who Trespass

Summary: Pretty Good First Effort
Review: This book is a pretty good first effort from Mr. O'Reilly. He does a really good job giving you an idea of what each character is like. The main thing that bugged me was the dissapearnce of the David Wayne character, what the heck happened to him? I was expecting some sort of big twist with him at the end, but the guy never returned. What's up with that?

Summary: Only moderately interesting
Review: This book is ok for light reading, I suppose. You learn a little about the world of media ambition, but since human nature is no different in different professions what you learn is hardly surprising. The sex is pedestrian and the murder plot not very exciting. I like O'Reilly because he is a right-wing talk-show host who is not a crazy Fascist like Hannity and Limbaugh and Gallagher and the rest, but a reasonable man. But he should stick to his radio and t.v. programs and give up writing the great American novel, which this is hardly.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This is a mesmerizing book. Once I started it was hard to put it down. It had me spellbound until the end. Recommended for mystery and tv lovers.

Summary: Never look at a TV anchor the same way again!
Review: This is the first of Bill O'Reilly's books that I have read and I must say that I was impressed. If you've see O'Reilly before, you've seen what he's famous for: the funny, satirical, and at time pessimistic "tell it like it is" approach. This is present even in this work of fiction, even though the story is a thriller and supposed to be dark and serious. I found it a very easy read; one of those books you can read at the beach or in a relaxed type of setting with no deep thinking required. One thing is obvious, though: O'Reilly really knows his stuff when it comes to network television. While reading this book, all I could think of was "You know, I wouldn't be surprised if this really happened one day!" In short, this book is readable enough that anyone who can appreciate good fiction will be able to enjoy it; especially the readers of Grisham and Baldacci. Definitely worth picking this one up!

Summary: pleasant surprise
Review: This was a pleasant surprise..although I have not read any of his books, I watch him nightly..I was amazed at his ability to bring many "pleasant" memories to an older/widowed female, done in good taste. His story line was easy to follow, and kept your interest, so unlike alot of the new and older writers of "thrillers"...He is a much more complex man than one would imagine, seeing him and listening to him. All good....

Summary: THE COMPLEX IRISHMAN
Review: THOSE WHO TRESPASS By Bill O'Reilly

This is Bill O'Reilly's first go at a fiction book and if this as an example he should continue to write fiction. The book is about the Irish and is a complex book where the two strong men who are main characters, Shannon Michaels, News Correspondent and Tommy O'Malley, New York Detective could be the split personality of the author. There is murder and justice in the story and one good female correspond right in the middle.

In their own way they are both right. Of course the police have to win in the end, but it's an excellent book.

I watch Mr. Bill O'Reilly on TV almost daily and he lives up to his book. If you haven't guessed by this time that's what it's about, it's about the people who work in TV-the good and the bad.

TV and radio have their share of egomaniacs in the boardrooms and others who plagiarize the work of the correspondents in the field getting the news. It's difficult to get news without some sort of a slant. The dollar is the big incentive. TV is the big thing in news and you can give someone a picture that will have him or her confused over right or wrong forever.

Mr. O'Reilly's book is right on the edge of TV life and is well worth reading.
