O`Reilly

Show No Fear: A Nina Reilly Novel
$7.99
When I saw the Nina Reilly prequel, I grabbed it! I looked forward to meeting the young Nina and reading about how she got started. What a total disappointment. The plot was wandering, the characters, including Nina, quite unloveable and annoying. I finally lost patience with it and jumped to the end to get it over with. If I didn't believe in destroying books, I would have tossed it in the trash. Please don't waste your money on this book.

The O'Reilly Factor: The Good, the Bad, and the Completely Ridiculous in American Life
$14.99
Another set of vignettes where O'Reilly sounds off. As with his other books, you either like him or hate him. I do not always agree with him, but he does make several good points. Most liberals will disregard anything he says but most conservatives will nod in agreement.

Who's Looking Out for You?
$24.95
O'Reilly makes another splash, but this time he teaches from his own mistakes. He provides a survival type list of situations to avoid and then gives real life personal examples of why they should be avoided. This book should be categorized under the old axiom "learn from the mistakes of others so you don't make the same mistakes".

The No Spin Zone: Confrontations with the Powerful and Famous in America
$14.00
I have to say, it does not surprise me that this book has received such poor reviews on Amazon. I wouldn't expect a liberal reader to finish the entire book and say to themselves, "What a good read!" This book will excite and fire up conservatives and make liberal throw up in their mouthes (most likely, I can't really say for sure as I don't know any liberals who have read this book). O'Reilly prefaces his debates with the statement, "There is usually a loser in the No Spin Zone and somtime's it's me." This is Bill O'Reilly's book and he's going to but whatever he wants in it, in fact he says just that. He does offer a lot of interesting notes about Al Sharpton's rise to power and tax evasion, Jesse Jackson's buisness techniques, and former president Bill Clinton's colorful past. A lot of the evidence O'Reilly offers is very slanted against his opponents, and yet it's hard to deny some of the points he makes. O'Reilly's personality will turn people who disagree with him away and most likely cause them to discount any of his arguements. He fails to let the evidence speak for itself sometimes. I would not say conversion is the objective of this book, although I think O'Reilly would like to think he's reaching some of his left-wing counterparts.
All in all, I enjoyed the book more than I thought I would. It only took me two days to read, and now I'm writing this review.
