Publisher's summary

Bill O'Reilly is mad as hell - and he's not going to let you take it anymore. In his most powerful and personal book yet, this media powerhouse and unstoppable truth-teller takes on those individuals and institutions in American life who are failing in their duties - big-time. In his inimitable style, mixing wit, pugnacity, and plain common sense, O'Reilly kicks butt and takes (and also names) names, from crooked corporate weasels to venal politicians to lazy and/or politically correct bureaucrats to sexually predatory priests and the Church hierarchy that protects them to a media establishment rife with political bias and economically hooked on violence and smut. At the same time that he calls the famous and powerful to account, he dares to get personal, questioning just how much our closest friends, families, and lovers do look out for us, and delivering a powerful message about personal responsibility and self-reliance in an uncertain world. He forces us to ask just how much genuine altruism is left in a society that thrives on self-indulgence and ruthless competition.

Who's Looking Out for You? is a book that boldly confronts our worst fears and biggest problems in a post-9/11, post-corporate-meltdown world. Its sage, candid advice on regaining control and trust in these troubled times will resonate with the millions of readers and viewers who have come to believe in Bill O'Reilly as the man who speaks for them.

Critic reviews

"[O'Reilly] manages to pull off an inspirational guide to life's most basic quandaries." (Publishers Weekly)

On the content of the book...

This book reads like a how-to guide for sucess in a power hungry world. O'Reilly suggests tools for choosing who and who not to associate with in one's personal and professional life. Regardless of the back and forth found in these other reviews, this is not a political book. It's a prety good read no matter your political leaning. I'm frankly shocked that people are comparing (the comic) Al Frankin's book with one of serious content.

Responsibility, Integrity and the Guts to say it

I would imagine that most people who don't like what O'Reilly is saying float along in a reality insulated world, don't have children and don't believe in moral absolutes.
O'Reilly does and isn't afraid to say it, often loudly, but still allows that he could be wrong. Sometimes I think he is, however he's more right than wrong.
He skewers based on right and wrong, not left or right. Listen, pay attention and it may help you or someone you know get back on track and take responsiblity for their own life.

A WORK of ART

Finally a foil for the liberal apologists who call themselves journalists. A critical non-PC view of America.
At last the country seems to be heading in the right direction - Arnie, George W. & a further 4 years post Nov 2004.
Keep up the good work Bill.

Who's Looking Out For You?

Excellent no nonsense writing to get people to think about who really has their best interest at heart. This makes you think about who you associate with and what effect that has on your life. Good for family relationships, friendships, and professional relationships. Written subjectively from a man who is not afraid to take a stand for something and speak his mind.

Cry babies, all of them.

Not a single person voting one star actually read this book. They are just cry babies because they can't defend their liberal mind set with reason and critical arguments, so they throw mud. Weak minded people with no real belief system. This is a good book with a hard look at facts and problems that should be addressed, not covered up.

Get a life outside your own opinions!

This really is not a 5 star book, (more like 3) but it is enjoyable. If you are an ideologue and offended by opinions other then your own go read Michael Moore or Ann Coulter and stop getting upset by books like this.

Refreshing!!

Thanks Bill. I appreciate your unbiased outlook on things.

Good book.

I am not sure how this book has so many good ratings and yet has such a low rating. It is a very enjoyable book and makes you think.
