I read this book in 2020, it was published in 2008 and would have been more relevant had I read it then when his O’Reilly Factor was still one of the hottest shows on TV. It’s an easy read, you won’t be deciphering convoluted sentences trying to figure out what he means. The writing is straight forward. He claims the book was written to explain himself and how his upbringing along with society at the time helped form his thinking and opinions. In between the lines of funny stories is an instruction manual of sorts of what to and not do in life. It was an enjoyable read for me, my early years were similar and I could directly relate; the Nuns – indelible. ( )

Notable for his dismissing comments about Tucker Carlson, who ironically would replace him 10 years later. ( )

Even if you don't like O'Reilly, the book is a good read. I liked the last three chapters best, although the Catholic references throughout were pretty funny. ( )

An enjoyable easy read. O'Reilly has an engaging writing style. It was interesting to learn about stories from his childhood and how they influenced his world view. The book also had some very touching and meaningful moments. ( )
