>> A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity
I loved this book It gave me a feeling of where Bill O Reilly is coming from when I m listening to him This guy is a fresh example of Americans who must stand up for the rights of America without fear of criticism He truly is a bold fresh piece of humanity and I wish I was more like him in my stand for what I believe
>> Good read that s no spin
Bold Fresh is a quick and enjoyable read Let me say up front I m a fan of Bill O Reilly and have read most of his other books If you are a fan chances are you will enjoy this latest book as well If you are not a fan and can put aside your reflexive hatred of the man sorry had to get that tweak in you can gain some valuable insight into what has led Mr O Reilly to where he is today
Unlike most of his other books Bold Fresh is a personal narrative that explores many of the events people and experiences that helped shape O Reilly s world view While there is ample discussion of what the world view is much of which will be familiar to anyone who has read Culture Warrior what I found most interesting where the personal anecdotes and stories that have provided the foundation for those beliefs O Reilly is not known for sharing details about his private life so I found this opportunity to hear about his experiences in Catholic school his first teaching job out of college and lifelong friendships to be very intriguing
The book is a very quick read and if I have one complaint it s that I would have liked to have heard more about O Reilly s life especially his early career in journalism That being said I thoroughly enjoyed being able to see how O Reilly s went from Catholic School rabble rouser to hard nosed journalist and voice for the folks He writes with a no nonsense and not overly sentimental style that reflects the self confidence and courage of conviction that viewers see every night on The Factor In fact it s hard not to hear O Reilly s distinctive voice and delivery while reading these pages
Overall I would give this book 4 stars It was well written informative but I was left wanting a little more Fans of O Reilly will be satisfied and detractors if open minded will still find inspiration in his rise from humble beginnings to powerful media commentator Of course many will just continue to hate O Reilly because he is outspoken opinionated and very successful That s no spin just the truth
>> Just so Interesting
You will read this book in one week once you start I learned things about O Reilly that I never would have imagined and it only adds to his allure His prose are commendable and his story telling ability is remarkable Job very well done
