Rating (1-5): 4
This book was engaging and very amusing, a fun read. Bill O'Reilly sets out to illustrate how the experiences of his youth shaped his views on the world today. His anecdotes are at times poignant, at other times hilarious. Certainly, anyone who grew up in the 1950's and 60's will get a kick out of O'Reilly's remembrances. But this is also a wonderful exposition on what goes into the making of character and integrity. From his childhood capers in Catholic school rooms to his early failures and successes in the field of journalism, O'Reilly's memoir makes you chuckle, but also instructs. While learning what it is that makes this man "tick", you are compelled to look inward yourself and perhaps examine what has influenced your decisions and what it is that makes you the person that you are today. This is very good writing, and truly enjoyable
