Who's Looking Out for You?

Rating:
Summary: Formatted for the visually-impaired
Review: The book is 200+ pages, but that is only because the text is triple-spaced (quadruple?). You can pack maybe two pages or more of this book in a single page of a normally-formatted book. And it retails for almost $20. Although the insights are good, with normal lettering and spacing, this book would be a 50-page pamphlet which should sell for under $10 (under $5 for paperback). Am I the only one to see a contradiction between the book's title and its formatting? I think O'Reilly and his publisher are looking out for their bank accounts, and not necessarily as much for you. Nothing wrong with that, I know, except for the glaring clash with the title. But hey if you're a fan, no price is too high.

Summary: Honest, which for many hurts
Review: Being in politics O'Reilly stirs up hateful thoughts from those who disagree and thoughts of admiration from those who agree. Politics aside if one is honest to themselves they have to realize O'Reilly in his book is being honest as he sees the world and I cannot fault him for that. Based on those reviews of his books being terrible, hateful toward Islam, etc. those reviewers are not giving honest reviews, and based on their reviews have not read the Koran

Summary: The Narcissist strikes again
Review: Self-pontification from start to finish. However, those of us who choose to actually think for ourselves have long known this about O'Reilly.

Who's looking out for me? Definitely not you Bill....

Summary: Different take on his usual rants
Review: This third book of his which revolve around his viewpoints shown on his popular TV show, The O'Reilly Factor, is a quick, insightful read into the mind of The Man, Mr. Bill O'Reilly

Like his other books, he talks a lot about corruption in high places and how it hurts the little person. This book also discusses difficulties of everyday life, but from a personal viewpoint. He offers advice on how to find ..., and how to identify who is looking out for you.

My favorite parts of the book were his top 10 tips for being a good parent and his discussion on the myth of "Seperation of Church and State"

Overall this book is a quick and fun read. It offers good, though pretty much common sense, advice on life from a man who appears to be looking out for you.

Summary: Straight talk
Review: O'Reilly gives straight-forward opinion, minus the empty-headed rhetoric. Enough already with the Peabody award criticisms. O'Reilly misspoke and has corrected himself publicly several times. That mistake is not enough to discredit him. Will everyone quit reading the New York Times because they hire journalists who blatantly lie? Of Course not. O'Reilly's careful, thoughtful analysis are backed up by research. It's refreshing to read someone who's not a right- or left-wing idealogue. Sure, you might not agree with him. But at least you know that his thoughts are more than unsubstantiated rants by someone who can't see beyond his party affiliation.

Summary: Not as interesting as his tv show
Review: It frustrates me that so many of the reviews on here are either 1 star or 5 stars - there is a middle ground, you know! While I don't agree with many of O'Reilly's views, I do believe his television show is usually worth watching: he makes expert use of television as a medium, and is pushing 'news talk shows' in a new direction. Whether those who follow his model will do with such energy and passion is doubtful, but still...

I've not read any previous books by O'Reilly, but thought I'd give this one a try. While his voice comes through strongly at times, the book doesn't have the same visceral kick as the tv show - at times, the book is a little pedestrian and lame. Does anyone else have anything to say about O'Reilly's effectiveness as a writer? I just don't think he's very good at it.

Summary: Bill O'Reilly Looks out for everyone
Review: This book rings true, just read the book you'll find out and you won't be sorry, but maybe a bit surprised.

Summary: Finally a guy who makes sense
Review: Bill is one of these sharp people who cuts through the overload of misinformation and gets to the heart of issues. Good book, good guy.

Summary: Naive College Student
Review: I just graduated from the "know-it-all" phase in my life and have come across the views of Bill O'Reilly. If you are ready to make a clean start in your logical life and are ready to think for yourself, I would suggest this book to you. O'Reilly has been released from the supposition prison. He not only thinks of the best possible outcome in situations, but by reading this book you too will exercise those congnitive cells that are wasting away in so many American heads. Closing your mind off to the ideas of others will only lead to a phlegmatic society. Read it, learn from it and move on, but don't accuse him of being an idiot, that accusation is a fallacy in itself.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: I have learned a lot from Bill O'Reilly's books, and the No Spin Zone. Thanks Bill for writing this very informative book.
