Reviews
One of the great things about O'Reilly's books is that they're written like he talks so you can read them a rapid clip and not miss anything.This book is certainly the most personal one he's written, and I saw a lot of myself in his story. Unless you're a committed hater, you will sympathize with how O'Reilly arrived at his world view. He's from a once typical middle-class background where friendship is more important than who you know. Where your parents aren't there to be your friend, but rather to teach you how you should behave in a civil society. Where schools were for education AND character formation, not a place where children go to receive undue adulation. Where hard work is more important than breeding.I think these ideas were once accepted by nearly all Americans. That is most certainly not the case today, and O'Reilly is doing his part to try and change that. Agree or disagree with his tactics, or his aims, but the man is honest. He's upfront with what he believes and why thinks you should believe it to. "Relativism" is not in his vocabulary. It shouldn't be in ours either. All of this just reinforces the fact that he is not an ideologue. He's just a traditionalist. The idea that he's a shill for the GOP or even conservative movement is ridiculous. If you only read one of his books, read this one.
