The O'Reilly Factor for Kids : A Survival Guide for America's Youth

Rating:
Summary: Do as O'Reilly says not as O'Reilly does.
Review: Advice from someone with a total lack of self examination and a bad case of arrested developement. O'Reilly is still gritting his teeth over his lousy childhood and Factor for kids is full of bitter recriminations and paraniod rants about who to trust.

O'Reilly misses that he was and is a bully and the only advice is platitudinal at best.

I also don't trust his child rearing advice seeing as his kids aren't that old yet. (And yes sick of people telling me how to raise my kids.)

Factor for Kids lacks the armchair pyschology foder that O'Reilly's books usualy provide. Occassional stories about his childhood are the only thing that breaks up his hypocritical and out of touch cookie cutter advice.

Summary: A waste of 20 bucks...
Review: As a kid, I can say this book was pointless. I didn't help ANYTHING (well...nothings wrong anyway). I got VERY VERY VERY bored reading this book, and I found that his advice was more non-existant then my parents, and the only value in this was pretty much in the stories he tells about himself as a kid. If your neice or nephew or son or daughter etc. says the like the book, ask them if they're actually reading it. I wasn't. Save your money, and don't let a book parent your kids.

Summary: Bush is America: That is the subject of this evening's SPEW.
Review: Bill O Reilly has found his time and place in space where Bush is America and can never be replaced by whatever tries to follow him, so like a good breeder he wants to get the most out of the btich while she is still in heat before it is all over and with the fall of the only one who can please the little monkey hate clans, split up and return to that eighties state of preparing another rabid thing to throw at the world for shiEEEts and giggles, ladies and gentlemen here is well groomed adult criminal sadist who is the Lord Ha,ha of Satan himself.

Bill brings us stats like in Pakistan, for example, 65 percent of the people there like Usama bin Laden, think he's a great guy. Tells us over the European Sky sat system that overseas media coverage is blatantly anti-American. He tells us that most governments overseas control the press, so people get propaganda instead of objective reporting... he says this to everyone in Europe with cable television... that the European media here is so far left, it's almost impossible for people to get a balanced view... over sat television.

And then there's socialism in Europe as European governments drift further into the entitlement culture... as Bill tells Europeans... over his international news channel.

NO WONDER WHY PEOPLE JUST DELETE FOX NEWS FROM THE TELEVISIONS PROGRAMS CHANNEL SETTINGS.

Propaganda aimed at the children of Americans who never leave their sofa.

And that's "The Memo."

Summary: A review from a 13 year old
Review: I am 13 years old and I think that this book is good for kids my age. It adresses important issues, and it gives good advice for problems. I am fortunate not to have many problems to deal with at my age. I have a good family, good friends, I generally do well in school and I am a happy person. I find that this book keeps you entertained along the way as well as talking about important subjects. I read the whole book in 3 days because I didn't want to put it down. I recommend it to kids around my age. Nice job Mr. O'Reilly!

Summary: O'Reilly Factor for Kids?
Review: I am not sure why they called this book the "O'Reilly Factor for Kids" when it isn't anything like the show. How can a political show be put on the cover of a Kid's book and given any credence?

My guess is now we will get a music CD "The O'Reilly Factor raps the facts" with Bill actually rapping, then to follow will be a children's show with Bill and Barney talking politics [including more of his famous sock puppet interviews].

I was also glad to read in this book there were no phone etiquette lessons, otherwise it would have been a real spin-zone to get through that one.

Otherwise he does talk about friends, bullies, parents, money, smoking, TV, dressing, reading, health, actually he has 5 pages on politics, and also each topic is covered in about 5 pages so you can imagine how in depth this things goes.

Still for his first foray into kids books it's not bad, but the rap CD and Barney TV show should add wonders to rounding off his future in this new O'Reilly Factor genre.

Summary: I can't believe I actually read this book.
Review: If you know a twelve-year-old kid who is a hardcore fan of The O'Reilly Factor, well, then I think this would make a good birthday present. Otherwise, I have to say that this book is SERIOUSLY lacking in substance, not to mention boring. The only thing that got me through the book were the little segments called "my story" where O'Reilly talks about some of his own life experiences from when he was young or when he was teaching high school.

I have to tell you that I did NOT appreciate the segments called "Pinheads and Smart Operators." I do not allow my children to engage in name-calling. Furthermore, this whole literary concept of reducing the world into us-against-them is not only childish, it teaches you to block out of peoples' points-of-view. It also encourages creating a straw-man approach to everyone who does not agree with you, rather than finding out what they ACTUALLY think.

Summary: Right to the point
Review: No one puts it quite like O'Reilly. It's too bad our public education system is incapable of being as blunt, honest, and practical as O'Reilly. We must teach our kids to live moral, decent lives, and stop telling them its okay to do whatever they want as long as it feels good. The O'Reilly Factor for Kids is a must read, and a darn good common-sense primer for all pre-teen and teenaged youngsters

Rating:
Summary: Propoganda
Review: This book is nothing more than hateful propaganda. It should be up to the parents to "teach their children right". Why should parents take advice from a sexist like Bill O'Reilly? Save your money and buy something your kids will actually read.

Summary: Bill O'leilly
Review: This guy is a joke. He rails against the far left, cries like a baby at any bit of public funding, and pretty much has the nerve to come off like he's just a regular guy looking out for you. How many regular guys tell people to shut up when they are trying to articulate an opinion? To be fair and balanced, if you like a guy that trashes the left and then asks the right a bunch of 'cream puff' questiosn then this is your book. For anyone else that likes rational thought, articulate arguments, and good writing look elsewhere.

Rating:
Summary: You're joking
Review: What kind of parent would read, or let their child read, a book by someone who settled on a sexual harassment suit? It's like letting Madonna lecture us on family values. O'Reilly is an old fraud and hyprocrite. Before you buy into a message, consider the messenger.
