Publisher Description
The million-copy New York Times bestseller from the Fox News anchor who’s brought new excitement–and massive amounts of populist common sense and rock-solid honesty–to television news. Now four seasons strong, Bill O’Reilly’s nightly cable news program, “The O’Reilly Factor,” is one of the hottest shows on the air. In book form, The O’Reilly Factor has sold over a million copies and spent fourteen weeks at the top of the New York Times bestseller list. Obviously, Bill O'Reilly has made his mark. His blunt, ironic, no-holds-barred style has earned him a devoted audience–friends and foes alike–who send him five thousand letters every week. And with the wit and intelligence that have made him one of the most talked-about stars in both television and publishing, O’Reilly continues to identify what’s right, what’s wrong, and what’s absurd in the political, social, economic, and cultural life of America.

"I know that many of my friends perceive Bill O'Reilly as a man in league with the devil. I prefer to form my own opinions, and so I read his book. I found that I agree with him on most points, except for the bits about his fashion and movie preferences..."

" Another best seller from O'Reilly. Filled with his interesting take on things American. He doesn't pull any punches and remember,"The Spin Stops Here." "
— Jeff, 2/16/2014 -
" A friend gave this to me. I didn't know who he was or anything about him. I found the book interesting at times. Nothing earth-shattering, but I liked it well enough to finish it. I can't say I agree with him on most things, but it's sometimes good to just see what the other side has to say. "
— Deb, 2/12/2014 -
" Not much of this stayed with me, much like most of his shows. "
— Atchisson, 2/2/2014 -
" Cannot get past him condescendingly referring to every woman he discusses' physical appearance. "
— Tiff, 1/27/2014 -
" Straight shooting from an intelligent and honest man. Bill O'Reilly does an excellent narrative on life, including social class, race, sex, parents, success, religion, and more. A good book worth recommending. "
— Noah, 1/23/2014 -
" This is great. O'Reilly always tells it like it is. Talks a lot about secular progressives versus traditionalists. "
— Tenley, 1/18/2014 -
" Great book! O'Reilly's pompous attitude pours off the page but the stories are relatable and the opinions definitely "pithy". Entertaining! "
— Stacy, 1/9/2014 -
" Among many other things, dude doesn't know the difference between working class and middle class. "
— Nicolas, 1/5/2014 -
" I really liked this one - read it in the car on the way home from Spring Break ---- funny and enjoyable with lots of good advice - and some you can just throw out.... "
— Ann, 12/27/2013 -
" Surprisingly, he's very much easier to read than he is to listen to or watch. Decent book, and I found myself agreeing with many points, even as a liberal. Would much rather read his writing than watch his show. "
— Mathew, 12/15/2013 -
" An extremely unsound bit of rightwing screedporn. "
— sologdin, 12/2/2013 -
" actually a well written bit of conservative propaganda "
— Ryan, 10/20/2013 -
" I like the commonsense point of view presented. It is worth the read. "
— Abram, 8/8/2013 -
" I love O'Reilly, he makes the news entertaning & tells it like it is. The best chapters in this book are the ones where he lists the good, the bad, & the ridiculous. "
— Marnie, 8/5/2013 -
" He makes a lot of good points and it is a quick read. Not much else to say. "
— David, 6/28/2013 -
" I know he is a little crazy, but he makes some great points and I think he takes time to look at both sides of the issues. "
— Greg, 4/16/2013 -
" A series of topical essays by the popular Fox News Network host. This man has an ego. "

— Lauren, 7/26/2012 -
" good stories. Although it is written in such a way that it makes you realize anyone could write a book like this. "
— Blake, 3/20/2012 -

" hands down one of the best books i've ever read.<br/>if you went through catholic schools as a child then you would probably love it more so. "
— Caittyloohoo, 6/29/2011 -
" This was a good book. It let's you know more about O'Reilly and about what made him who he is today. "
— Dameon, 6/11/2011 -
" The book was alright, with several funny parts but it was NOT as good as it was hyped up to be. I would add I am a huge O'Reilly fan so I'm not grinding any axes, just stating fact as Mr. O so fondly likes to say. "
— Professor, 5/22/2011 -
" Like he said in the beginning in the book, it did improve my life. It pushed me to strive in school and in everything I do. Loved the humorous stories and gave a personal side to the infamous Bill O'Reilly. "
— Shawn, 4/18/2011 -
" This proven to be an excellent insight to Bill's current behavior.....but as his old professor did, A for his work, a minus for his personality..... "
— Ares, 4/17/2011 -
