Summary: Throne Reading
Review: Mr. O'Reilly's "novel" reads in about a day. Many words, always in terse declarative sentences, but unlike Hemingway, of course, looking for a plot. (This is similar to his political commentary: many words or guttural sounds looking for a thought.) I highly recommend this scrapbook for throne reading and suspect that it is closer to reality than his political commentary.[I still can't believe that "Hemingway" and "O'Reilly" are mentioned in the same paragraph.] If you really want a good read, however, keep moving along the virtual "O" shelf and pick up Orwell's *1984* or something else worthwhile. O'Reilly's spin and "stuff" (I wouldn't dignify it by refering to it as "work," since it seems he doesn't work) is, well, just his opinion, and not literature, art, or serious intellectual thought.

Summary: This Explains Alot about Bill!!
Review: Bill O'Reilly shines on TV, and he shines in print as well. This book might explain some of his attitude toward mainstream media in all its gory glory. This is a must read to anyone who likes good mysteries and who just can't get enough of Bill O'Reilly.

Summary: A Good Fiction Novel Worth Reading
Review: O'Reilly made his bones as a respected television journalist, but he may just have a calling in the literary world. This is formulaic fiction from jump, but it's also a captivating story centering around issues of revenge and tyranny in the corporate world of network news.... All in all, this book is well worth reading and not the general waste of time that so much popular fiction is today.

Summary: Full of suspense

Summary: Typical O'Reilly
Review: The star of the Fox News' O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly, wrote a great book in Those Who Trespass. If you like the show, you'll like the book. The story is centered around the life of TV and newspaper media, but is a great read. I recommend this for anyone who likes Bill O'Reilly and his views.

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: User-friendly
Review: O'Reilly's novel is a must have for every political news junkie out there. Because of his experience in the field of journalism, Bill O'Reilly is able to give us a peak inside his world through this novel. He uses his own experiences and problems with authority to describe the manner in which young, trouble-causing "infants" are dealt with in the industry.

Summary: Backscenes At The Networks
Review: Bill O'Reilly presents a murder mystery with characters from the life he knows--network news. Key people in the industry are being killed in different parts of the country by a killer who works cleanly leaving no clues at all. I bought the book because I liked the "O'Reilly Factor" and wanted to see for myself how Mr. O'Reilly's how first novel worked. His characters are built out of people he knows...Irish Americans, Catholics, and network people as well as some well developed policemen. The only problem for me was the female, a newspaper writer, who becomes involved with both the killer and the cop who is determined to solve the case. She hops into bed with the bad guy and thinks about hopping into bed with the cop almost at the same time which made that part of the story a little hard to believe. It was a good read, and I suspect his next book will be better yet. I would hope to see a series of Tommy O'Malley mysteries develop. Tommy is BIG in size and macho; he has a nasty black Irish temper; wants to take out the bad guys in a hard way; and takes good care of his mother. He's a nice tough guy.

Summary: a good read
Review: Bill surprised me by being so multifaceted as a hard-hitting journalist and talented author. This book was a fun read that allowed me to escape, and learn a bit about network media at the same time. He obviously is a very credible source and provides tremendous realism to the whole story. As a slight pan, I thought the dialogue was a little stilted and sounded staged sometimes, a weakness that sometimes detracted from the story. Worth picking up.

Summary: Is this real?
Review: After reading this, I kept asking myself that very question. Mr. O'Reilly makes such good use of details, and facts that makes this story very realistic. Bill tells us exactly what goes on behind the scenes in a news station and a police officer's mind. I couldn't put it down.
It's just too real...I have to keep reminding myself that Bill made it all up. An excellent read! NOTE: There is some questionable content in this book. If you're easily offended by that kind of content, don't read this book. Just a warning.
