Summary: Don't Listen to These Partial Reviewers
Review: This book is 100% straight, honest, and to the point. Bill exposes corruption and deception wherever they are. He is a non-partisan journalist and is not afraid to take on those who are ruining this country. Do yourself a favor and buy this book. Please don't let these horribly partial reviews sway you from getting this exceptional piece of journalism. Everyone giving this book a 1 star review is either an extreme liberal or an extreme conservative.

Summary: A vitriolic downer
Review: Mr. O'Reilly really thinks he has something worth saying. Unfortunately, every thing this man says is negative. When does anything positive ever come out of his mouth? In this book, he struck me as an extremely unhappy man - with some heavy unresolved "daddy issues". It's time for Mr. O'Reilly to get to a shrink. Perhaps then he can come to terms with his issues and write an advice book that is worth reading. Why on earth would anyone take parenting tips from such an obviously angry and bitter man? This slim volume of musings and advice won't do anything for anyone - except pad the already bloated bank accounts of Mr. O'Reilly.

Summary: To the Point
Review: As usual Bill O'Reilly hits the nail on the head. I came of age in the "sixties" and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that we have become a nation of "victims". Bill makes the point that we have to be smart in choosing those in whom we put our trust and in the end we are all responsible to care for each other.You can trust Bill to tell you the truth and in this book he does so in his own "pithy" way.

Summary: Fluff Piece
Review: I read this book in it's entirety in less than an hour while standing in a local book store. It's pure fluff, plain and simple, no thoughtful insights that I could take home. My main comment is that if you have to go to Bill O'Reilly to figure out how to lead your life, you're in big trouble. You're better off listening to Dr. Laura.I did hear Bill boast on his radio show last week that this book will "outsell Al Franken's 5 to 1". Ummm...Bill, the jury is still out on that one but as of this writing, Al is back at #2 and you are sinking fast. Aren't your 15 minutes of fame over already?

Summary: Terrible!
Review: This book is plain terrible. Bill tends to ramble on and on about the same subject for chapters on end. He never quite gets the the point. He is also extremely bigoted and rude in some of the terms he uses. I have completely lost all respect that I had for Bill. Don't waste your time with this book.

Summary: Pablum for the Partisan Right
Review: It is ironic that Publisher's Weekly notes that O'Reilly takes on those who teach hate for personal gain. That is precisely Mr. O'Reilly's modus operandi and he, like they, does not seem to care much about the facts. If you feel like a victim because your view of life is not accepted by the majority of Americans, read this book. It is intended to make you feel that your sense of victimhood is justified. If you want an objective presentation of facts, read something else. Mr. O'Reilly is interested in profits and polarization -- probably in that order.

Summary: God
Review: If you enjoy his TV and radio shows, you will enjoy Bill O'Reilly's "Who's Looking Out For You", and you will have a written record of what he says on the small screen and the airwaves. Before you decide on an answer to the title's question, I suggest that, after reading "Who's Looking Out For Me", you go on to read Norman Thomas Remick's book about America called "West Point: Character Leadership---Thomas Jefferson" for a great historical and philosophical perspective that tells you how it's the founding fathers, through The Constitution, who are looking out for you, and after that its in the hands of you and God. Bill O'Reilly's "Who's Looking Out For You" aptly lays out the problems. But, remember, when all is said and done, "only God can make a tree".

Summary: How splotchy is Bill?
Review: The first thing I noticed is that Bill's face doesn't look anywhere near as splotchy, on the cover of his book, as it does in the photo on the cover of Al Franken's book. Has anyone seen Bill up close when he isn't made up for a show? How splotchy is he? Inquiring minds want to know.
Frankly, I found Bill's book humourless and repetitive: the same old right-wing rantings which are as factual as his two Peabody awards. However, I did agree with him on one thing: the untrustworthiness of the media. After reading his book, I for one will never trust anything that comes out of the Murdoch empire; especially the fair and balanced comments of O'Reilly. My suggestion is to save your money for now; in a few weeks this book will in the bargain bins for $4.98. Meanwhile, if you want value for your money, get Al Franken's book instead.

Summary: Poor Writing
Review: I love Bill, but I wish he was a better writer. The book really needs a good editor and I felt like at times that he goes off on a tanget that needed to be corrected. He is really one-sided in many of his views, which made me wonder if he is really fair and balanced. Also, he talks about forgiveness and tolerating others, yet he was involved in the lawsuit again Al Franken. Hmmm, me thinks I found a phony in these pages.

Summary: Ego run rampant
Review: Just by the title of this review, i realize i am setting myself up to be slammed by O'Reilly's avid fans. But i went into this book with an open mind, hoping to find something that would make me understand the man's views on certain subjects. What i found instead was a person who tries to blame "Hollywood moguls" for the downfall of the country. I wish it were as simple as that, Bill. The sucess of his TV show has most definitely gone to this guy's head, and he needs to focus on the issues he proclaims to know so much about, instead of just trying to sound smarter then he obviously is. He may have some valid points, but his "what i think is right, and all other points of view are wrong!" attitude gets old, really fast.
