Summary: Don't call Bill Dumb!!!!!!!!!
Review: Bill isn't dumb, he's special. He has a special way of talking. For instance, he is incapable of 'spinning'; the truth and nothing but the truth. I watched the episode of his show when he told the young man who lost his father in 9/11 that his father would be ashamed of him for questioning the Bush administration. Yes, O'Reilly does yell at the young man and, yes, O'Reilly does assume he knows more about this man's father than the son himself...apparantly...What I mean to say is that O'Reilly wasn't really there. If you watch closely you can see that some digital fiddeling has made it appear as if it was O'Reilly who was acting like a tyrant, but really I think it was a more liberally minded person. O'Reilly makes it clear in this new book that only he is looking out for our best interest, only he cares about us and that only he is willing to tell us the truth about how we should live our lives. Thank God there is one person who cares about me. Also, he reminds us again and again that everybody, but him, is pushing an ideology on us. Bill is an intellectual giant and I think this book will help the world see that we are a better country because of this mental giant.

Summary: gave it a chance...
Review: I used to understand O'Reilly's point of view but in the end his demagoguery just overwhelmed me. I'm pretty convinced that, at this point, it is distorting his perperspective not to mention his writing. He's now officially too defensive and bullying to be useful or taken seriously. Sorry...

Summary: Pretty funny...
Review: I haven't read the book yet, so this is not a review. I just noticed something funny while looking at Amazon's bestseller list, though. O'Reilly's book, which was just released a couple of days ago, is actually selling fewer copies than Al Franken's competing "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them," which has been out for over a month. The icing on the cake being that the reason Franken's book has been selling so well is because of the huge publicity surrounding O'Reilly's instigated and subsequently dismissed lawsuit (via the Fox News Channel) against Franken for copyright infringement. I mean, just thinking about Bill laying awake at night, getting steamed and even more splotchy over losing the sales battle to Franken caused solely by his own pushiness and arrogance, makes me giggle.

Summary: A great book that connects with the reader.
Review: This is a great book that I feel will help anyone in life who is willing to listen and accept that the side they are ideologically connected to does not have all the answers. Good moral people rock! While those negative and irrationally immoral people are as irritating as sand in the eyes and throat. I recomend anyone who feels lost in life to get this book. Bill writes in a way that is like he is talking directly to the reader as if he is siting across from them at a coffie shop table.

Summary: What's Up With Bill's Face
Review: The book will be great, no question, but where have all the splotches on Bill's face gone? Have they airbrushed this picture? Check out Al Frankin's book to be sure!

Summary: Get off his back!
Review: I think recent revelations of O'Reilly's membership in the Communist Party U.S.A are irrelevant to his message. He speaks the truth, and I'd be proud to have him as a comrade.

Summary: O'Reilly has the courage to tell it like he sees it
Review: I loved this book because I got to see how a famous broadcaster sees himself in relation to others. Who's Looking Out for You? really comes down to "What have I done to bring out the best in others and gain their loyallty?" So in answer to the second question, I strongly recommend Optimal Thinking: How to Be Your Best Self which shows you how to bring your best self to any situation (even the toughest ones), make the most of any situation, and bring out the best in others. Both of these books deserve 5 stars!

Summary: O'Reilly Does It Again!
Review: You can love him or hate him, but Bill O'Reilly has the knack of going straight to the heart of a subject (hence, "no spin") and his common sense approach, to this reader, is sincere. His observations reflect many of the values I fortunately absorbed from growing up in a midwestern, down-to-earth family. "Who's Looking Out For You" won't appeal to the "me first" crowd, but I highly recommend it for all ages.

Summary: Entertaining and Instructive
Review: There are lots of folks who get angry at Bill O'Reilly for criticizing Democrats and brand him a Conservative, but he's an equal-opportunity basher--he rips John Ashcroft and various aspects of the Bush administration just as often as he does anyone else. His prime-time show is a bit of an acquired taste, but it's most entertaining and very often interesting when O'Reilly gets into it with a guest he feels is spinning or skirting an issue. His books are more of the same, and "Who's Looking Out For You?" probably won't win you over if you have a decided dislike for the man. But in this book, O'Reilly gives the reader some very basic and logical advice (i.e. be honest with yourself, be honest with others, work hard, be disciplined) as well as citing public figures and aspects of our society that aren't looking out for the everyday folks. Even while being critical of the Catholic church for its handling of the priest scandal in the last year, O'Reilly cites the importance of faith and religion for a successful society and quotes several founding fathers along the way. More than anything else, O'Reilly blasts those who exploit our children, especially the media and entertainment industry. And his hard look at today's politically correct culture--especially in relation to the reporting of news--is very interesting. Ultimately, this book is a lot like his first two works of non-fiction and can be read in several hours. O'Reilly is quick to admit that there are many people who don't want to be lectured on morality from him, but read this book if you're skeptical and give it an honest chance. You may find that you agree with many of his views, and you'll certainly appreciate his willingness to fight for the downtrodden, neglected and ignored.

Summary: Iron fisted splotchy guy looking out for you
Review: All that really has to be said is to refer to the book expo in L.A. where O'Reilly and Franken were both hawking their books. Who was the cooler of the two? Who can take criticism? Watch the whole thing. Cooler heads will prevail.
