Product Description
The year was 1957, the month September, and I had just turned eight years ancient. Dwight Eisenhower was President, but in my life it was the diminutive, intense Sister Mary Lurana who ruled, at least in the third-grade class where I was held captive. For reasons you will soon know, my parents had remanded me to the penal institution of St. Brigid’s School in Westbury, New York, a cruel and unusual punishment if there ever was one.
Already, I had barely survived my first two years at St. Brigid’s because I was, well, a small nitwit. Not satisfied with memorizing the Baltimore Catechism’s fine prose, which featured passages like “God made me to show his goodness and to make me pleased with him in heaven,” I was constantly annoying my classmates and, of course, the no-nonsense Sister Lurana. With sixty overactive students in her class, she was understandably fleeting on patience. For survival, she had also become quick on the draw.
Then it happened. One day I blurted out some dumb remark, and Sister Lurana was on me like a panther. Her black habit blocked out all distractions as she leaned down, looked me in the eye, and uttered words I have never forgotten: “William, you are a bold, fresh piece of humanity.”
And she was dead-on.
One day in 1957, in the third-grade classroom of St. Brigid’s parochial school, an exasperated Sister Mary Lurana bent over a restless young William O’Reilly and said, “William, you are a bold, fresh piece of humanity.” Small did she know that she was, early in his career as a troublemaker, defining the essence of Bill O’Reilly and providing him with the title of his brash and entertaining issues-based memoir.
And this time it’s personal. In his most intimate book yet, O’Reilly goes back in time to examine the people, places, and experiences that launched him on his journey from effective-class kid to immensely influential television personality and bestselling leader. Readers will learn how his traditional outlook was formed in the crucible of his family tree, his neighborhood, his church, and his schools, and how his views on America’s proper role in the world emerged from covering four wars on five continents over three-plus decades as a news correspondent. What will delight his copious fans and surprise many others is the humor and self-deprecation with which he handles one of his core subjects: himself, and just how O’Reilly became O’Reilly.

This book is yet another perfect rip off by The King of self-serving intentions, “Bill the Bloviator” O’Reilly. How this man has wormed himself into the mainstream and simply won’t go away is beyond us all.
Highly recommend you do NOT buy this dreadful and painful chin dribble.

This is not a GOP book or a libertarian book or even an honest commentary or memoir. This is not a book that will make liberals weep “because the truth hurts”. The ONLY THING this book is purposed to do is be a monetary add on to the cult of personality that is the Bill O’Reilly show. In the same way there are fictional books detailing the further adventures of the Battlestar Galactica Crew and Buffy The Vampire Slayer, this book is nothing more than an ancillary marketing contrivance to maintain the popularity of a talking head on TV. It is not “real”. It is not “the truth”. It is only to further this TV talking head’s profitability by making more places where he can speak in that “controversial” way that keeps his ratings popping on TV. This is neither excellent nor terrible. If you like it, buy it, but don’t for a minute reflect you are buying anything additional than a book for his ardent fans to clasp up with at night as if Bill was a member of N’SYNC. If Bill popped larger ratings slamming neo-cons and MSNBC offered him a larger contract to do so, he’d bolt over there in a heartbeat… and his new books would be full of his new “controversial” statements. Fans of Bill or Rush or Glenn Beck, etc etc etc… are not “right” or “smarter”. They are fans in the same way Paris Hilton has fans, it’s just a different train wreck they like to watch and cheer for. It’s all fake TV. Turn it off. Find out the truth for YOURSELF.

I ordered this book through an Amazon vendor and was told the book was no longer available. I received NOTHING, but yet was charged on my credit card for the buy. The vendor has not returned any of my emails. I will not order from Amazon again.

Although I am open minded and occassionally watch ‘The O’Reily Factor’. His facts are just too bias and resemble lies more than facts in this book. It is extremism at it’s worst. I would even urge staunch conservatives to stay away from this book.
