Summary: A refreshing view of stale issues
Review: Anyone that has seen "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox and enjoyed Mr. O'Reilly's candor, brilliant insightfulness and sense of humor, will surely enjoy this book. Those that have not seen "The Factor" but are tired of political spin, double-talking politicians and amoral social trends will surely enjoy this book. In fact, unless you are either 1) brain dead, or 2) blinded by political propaganda (from either side of the aisle), you will surely enjoy this book.

Summary: As un-PC as it gets
Review: Bill O'Reilly creates a vision of life that most of his critics hate simply because it contains too much unpleasant truth. This is what makes his show so thought provoking and interesting even when you disagree with him. The life stories included in the book are also interesting, and on a wide range of topics, not just politics. And while his opinions are all over the place, even sometimes (gasp) liberal, he usually backs them up with evidence. A fine effort from the toughest interviewer out there.

Summary: I love the show, I love the book!
Review: I don't necessarily agree with everything Bill O'Reilly says. I don't agree with everything that anyone says. I do admire people in positions of influence who aren't afraid to go against the flow and speak their mind. Bill O'Reilly is this kind of person. Love him or hate him, there will ALWAYS be interesting discussion at the mere mention of his name. I can't fault O'Reilly for loudly voicing his opinions and I'd like to see more journalists like him. I'm an objective person, and I have the right to agree or disagree with anyone's opinions. If I was to send O'Reilly hate mail and tell him how wrong he is, then I'd be doing the exact same thing that I claim he's doing to me, stating the falsehood that any opinion is either entirely right, or wrong. This book is practical and allows you to peek further into the the personal life of this journalistic cowboy. For anyone that enjoys Bill O' Reilly's brashness, his intelligence, and his ability to sometimes annoy, buy this book and enjoy yourself!

Summary: A great suprise!
Review: I stumbled upon this book in an airport,having never heard of Bill O'Reilly. It was a terrific find! I couldn't put it down or disagree with his blunt/honest assesments. He covers it all,with a great deal of Irish wit. I find myself quoting him quite often,and wish we got his show locally.This one is not to miss!

Summary: Is O'Reilly a comic???
Review: This is an interesting book by someone who also has a TVshow. He happens to be on a network that wants to be considered thefair alternative [yet hires O'Reilly-- so go figure]. O'Reilly isclearly conservative, and doesn't trust the system. He hand-picksissues to be bombastic, just for ratings. Never mind the facts, betterto sway emotions. My thesis is that O'Reilly needed this book tospout more than he was allowed to on his show. Best guess is Fox toldhim to cool it and try to be more fair [thus, the "fairnetwork" slogan]. But he can't be fair. You can always see theveins in his neck bulging as he holds back what he REALLYthinks!!! If you read this book you will see why, and also how heseems to have fallen into the aging white-man trap. But if you likehis TV show [and some seem to like it], then you will like thisbook. Just be warned, you may read more into O'Relly than you evenwanted to. Am I wrong???

Summary: A solid offering from the best interviewer on TV
Review: The O'Reilly Factor is my favorite show. Not because I always agree with Bill, but because he asks the toughest questions on television. After seeing Jesse Ventura joke his way around the American airwaves I was surprised at how sober he was on the Factor. The book is set up much like the show, in that it is mostly a social critique with built-in footnotes and opinions. O'Reilly backs up much of the material with evidence to support his opinions. You couldn't call anyone with such outspoken opinions a moderate, but his opinions are all over the spectrum. He's anti-death penalty and anti-abortion. He supports a tax-cut and more government regulations for the airlines. If you can't get the show, you'll find yourself calling your local cable company after reading this book. If you watch the show, this book will answer many questions not covered on the air. This is a good choice for anyone who enjoys current issues and politics with a fresh perspective.

Summary: The O'Reilly Factor
Review: This is a good blue print of how things really work in some segments of our society. It should be a must read for all those who still believe they get the unbiased truth from the media in general (especially the network majors) and that we are on a level playing field where every one has an equal opportunity; only if you know the rules. Mr. O'Reilly helps us understand that the media is driven by the profit motive and whatever is going to turn a buck. They try not let the truth get in the way of a story that will get everyone's attention and thus increase their advertising revenues. He tacitly suggests we note the frequency of adjectives used in the news reporting because the more of them we see the more likely the story is slanted. When he says, "We report, You decide" he suggests that all the American public needs are the facts and we can judge from there. He also covers such neglected areas as truthfulness,religion and integrity.

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.
