Bill O'Reilly, the always-controversial television pundit, has written another book that shows his characteristic anger and vituperation against those whom he perceives as America's famous and powerful. He lets no one he dislikes off the hook, whether it be the Clintons and their legacy of scandal, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, or Dan Rather. He claims to speak for millions of angry white males, disenfranchised by the changing economy, the depredations of figures in power, and the lack of simple answers to their problems. He buttresses his opinions of these figures with their own words about the issues he cares about -- issues including Medicare, the death penalty, and crime. This book is a direct challenge to the elite, striking a blow for "real Americans.".… (altro)

Awesome!! The only bad part of the book was when it ended! ( )

Bill's best work, in my humble opinion. ( )

I read the O'Reilly Factor when it came out and thought it was okay. I picked this book up expecting it to be a bit more interesting since he was profiling some of his more famous guests. I gotta say that it was a bit light on substance. I felt like I had just watched a greatest hits clip of his show after reading it.

This is a quick read and good for those who don't always watch his show. He'll probably include some interviews you missed. Overall, don't expect to find some great revelation from Bill. I agree with another reviewer that books might not be his thing. ( )

A little more focused than The O'Reilly Factor but still pretty pedestrian. I don't think books are really Bill's media. ( )

Very easy to read. If you like Bill O'Reilly, you'll love this book. Each chapter is it's own topic. He provides interviews he's had with some fairly powerful people, after which he discusses the conversation and adds his "opinion" on the topic.

Like I mentioned about his other book, I don't agree with all his positions, but O'Reilly provides good arguments. That's all he wants from his guests. Answer questions with facts, no spin. Let the viewer decide.

Among the people featured in the book are Al Sharpton, Dr. Laura, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Susan Sarandon, John McCain, George W. Bush, James Carville, Mario Cuomo, and Dan Rather. All these people O'Reilly points out that he admires for their proactiveness and willingness to come on his show and answer tough questions. The Reverend Sharpton actually admits that Bill was right on a subject. Although he admits this after the camera is off.
The topics include drugs, sex and violence as it pertains to kids, the media, Hollywood, the Mexican border, law enforcement, taxes, capital punishment, Jesse Jackson, and Bill Clinton.

Thought provoking and easy to read. I finished this book in two days. I've modified my views on some issues and fortified my views on others. ( )
