| I purchased this book for my Father-in-Law for Father's Day. As I don't believe in giving a new book as a gift with a "broken spine", I did not read it first. My Father-in-Law is currently reading it and will be giving me his review when finished. The customer service with regard to the order was great and "thank you" for the free "Bold & Fresh" bags that were included with the order. Though I have not actually read the book, I am giving you four stars for other positive comments and for the great Customer Service. Thank you. |

| Bill, I absolutely loved Bold Fresh, and could REALLY relate to the pranks. Life was beautiful in the 50's, when you could pull pranks that were really funny and didn't hurt anyone or
destroy property ! I wish there were more people with your high values and standards ! We watch you on Fox News every night. Nancy |

| An excellent book, Bill. Even though I'm quite a bit older than you your stories brougt back many memories of my childhood. I ordered a copy for my grandchildren to read. I hope they will gain your perspective on liiving a life of integrity and cautious boldness. Thank you. I try not to miss my hour with "Bill" each evening. |

| What an enjoyable read. It made me laugh out loud. Mr. O'Reilly was born just 7 days before I was, we both went to Catholic schools and his childhood was pretty much mine. Oh, the memories it brought back. I felt as if I were reliving my own childhood. I enjoyed it so much, I ordered 2 additional books and had them personalized to give my children as birthday gifts. They also have enjoyed reading this book. |

| I bought this book for myself (I'm in my 50's) and enjoyed the book, especially the old memories it brought back about my youth. I knew my father would also enjoy it, so I ordered another for him for Father's Day. This is a book that appeals to all age groups. Everyone can relate to it. |

| I could not put it down. There was so much that was wonderfully familiar to me (Like the alarm clock used to wreck revenge), that simply made this book a 'fun' read. I recommend this book for everyone over 12 years of age and consider it to be a significant part of my personal library. Thanks for writing it Mr. O! |

| I got this book for my fiance's birthday, and even with an entire to do list that is overflowing for us, he must take his book wherever we go. As soon as there is a lull he will flip the pages (careful not to bend any corners) and pick right back up where he left off. I would love to find out what it is that keeps drawing him back and am looking forward to reading it myself. I am rating it this high from the expressions on his face while he reads. |

| I enjoyed this book so much. I really related to Bill as I had a lot of the same expeiences growing up in the 50's and 60's. Being the same age as Bill, my dad was a lot like Bill's dad. I could not put this book down. Bill opens up and really brings his readers into the book. It is really easy reading, clear and colorful but oh so funny. You'll love it!!! |

| I read Bold Fresh, thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband is in the process of reading it, and our great grandson is waiting to read it next! it. Even though we are Southern and Protestant, we are on the same track, Bill. And we need more of those little old Sisters to straighten out our school system. |

| This was given to my Mother for Mother's Day and it has become the greatest thing since sliced bread! Every night she reads a little more and tells me about how she went through some of the very same things that Bill did as a child. It has brought her great joy, and for that I give this book a 5 out of 5! |

| In watching you on TV I've been amazed on how many issues , as well as basic values, we agree. Then I open your book to find we were born on the same day (although me one year later). Perhaps there is something to astrology after all.... Very entertaining, interesting, and fun. Brought up many nostalgic memories to my mind of growing up in the 50's & 60's. Also comforting to know I'm not alone in my frustration over the current social and political direction of our country today. Life's "pendulm" sure has swung in a far opposite direction from what that which I was brought to believe. Right and wrong, common courtesy and above all common sense are dying off. |

| Excellent book! It is nice to see the genuineness and honesty in what he says about himself. I also identified with him since I am just a few months younger and liked the walk down memory lane. Bill certainly has many talents and he has given to us all good lessons in life and inspired us to be all that we can be. I wish there could be more Bill O'Reillys in the world. It would certainly be a better place if there were. |

| I just finished read A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity and loved it. I am four years older than Bill but could certainly relate to his experiences going to Catholic School in the fifties and sixties. I agree with Bill about the experience and how much it helped me in life. I even knew guys like Clem. It is great to read someone who went to Catholic School and does not bash the church. Thanks for the change to relive a great experience. |

I too, have had a few marks on my behind. My 18 year old granddaughter wants to read this book as soon as possible. Thank you for speaking your opinions-I almost always agree. Pat Red Oak, OK |

| I bought this book for my husband, Stan, for Father's Day. He, too, was raised Catholic. He read it in less than a week, and gave me snipits of info on the book that was eerily similar to my husband's upbringing. I am about to open the "Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity" and don my purple "Bold Fresh" T-Shirt my husband bought me for Mother's Day, and dig in to learn what formed Mr. O'Reilly as to who he is today! I can't wait! My husband gave it 5 Stars! |

| Great read- couldn't put it down. I, too, went to Catholic grade school in Milwaukee, WI and I have vivid, if not fond, memories of those Franciscan and Dominican nuns 'pounding' the lesson into me. I know all about the window pole. And, as an altar boy, I remember serving Mass in the nun's chapel at dawn but never ventured into their living quarters. That Clem must have been quite a guy. Our's was Tony! Bill, you have a great and creative way with words. Keep the books coming. |

| Bill O'Reilly is three months older than I. As a young, working class kid from New Haven, his memories nearly mirror mine. To read this book and laugh along with Bill and all the rest, I find now a rational explanation and acceptance of my antics in the fifties and sixties. As the narrator of the Lone Ranger would say, we return to the days of yseter year. And how sweet is was. Thanks for the book, Bill. Now my wife is bugging me to finsh (50 pages more) so she can read it. Kudos, Bill |

| I have not read this book myself. I ordered it for my mother for Mother's Day. She was extremely excited to receive it. She had been wanting it for months because she watches Mr. O'Reilly every day and thinks he is so intelligent and funny. She couldn't believe that I had thought to buy it for her as she had never told me how much she wanted it but she talks about Mr. O'Reilly so much that I just figured that she would love it. I have to admit that I am now addicted to Fox News and especially Mr. O'Reilly and Glenn Beck. Thanks for keeping the American public so well-informed. Without you guys, we wouldn't know half as much as we do. |

| Insightful and entertaining. My wife thought I was nuts when I would bust out laughing over the antics of Clem and the Bold Fresh guy. Also very insightful and gives me even greater respect for Bill O'Reilly after reading where he came from and what he is doing now. It also had me reflecting on my own life and how I can do things to help make a difference in our great country. |

| I love this book. Couldn't put it down. O'Reilly has done himself proud---gave it to my husband when I finished reading it and I could hear him laughing out loud from the other room. He grew up in Catholic schools during the same era and could really relate to Bill's experiences. Everyone should get a copy and read it. I recommend it highly. (P. Brady Savannah,GA.) |

| Just started reading "Bold Fresh" and can hardly put it down. I told my husband this is a must read for him and our two boys as well. I am 52 years young and am enjoying the reminders of growing up. My father served in WWII and we grew up on Victory at Sea, Combat etc. Never got into the drug scene, wasn't interested and besides how could I possibly disappoint my parents in that way. My husband and I are definitely products of working class middle America and hope we have passed those great values onto our sons. I think we have, our oldest son is currently serving in the Marine Corps and our youngest, a great hockey player, wants to be a teacher. Thanks Bill for a terrific book. |

| I just started reading Bill O'Reilly's book: Bold Fresh Piece.... just this last week.. and the other day...just as I was sitting down by the lake and got through page 40, I then decided, without a doubt, to order 2 more books for my sons, age 33 and 30. I know this will be a meaningful book for them, and I certainly hope so, for they still have a lot of life ahead of them and it's worth it to glean a little more, by reading, travel, working with people, for we all can use some guides along the way. I really like this book and am looking forward to finishing this this week, and then my husband wants it. I'll be giving the books to my sons when I see them in a few weeks, so hopefully they arrive in time. This book is worth it!!!! |

| Your best effort to date. My childhood was equally as special as yours. Reunions are the best thing, for sure. Your comment about us learning to value the relationships we made in high school is right on. Mostly, though, I love your championing good folks doing the right thing. Today it seems that doing the wrong thing is being generously rewarded - I will never cave in to that action but wonder when it will end, or at least reduce significantly. Are there no more honest men and women who can lead this country properly? Semper Fi Bill. You are a wonderful Patriot!

| This brash young boy, and now commentator, analyst, and humorist has put together a delightful, interesting, entertaining and informational book
which explains how and why he is the Number ONE person quoted on U.S. politics and world affairs. If O'Reilly says it, it's set in concrete. After
watching him all these years, I've found even deeper respect for his opinion since reading A Bold...........Humanity. My rating? AAAAAAAA

I just finished Culture Warrior and A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity. I thoroughly enjoyed both books. Culture Warrior was an eye opener, but A Bold Fresh Piece... brought back so many childhood memories. Made me miss the "good ole days" of childhood. I knew all of your characters (by different names of course). Thanks for supporting all of our troops and reporting the REAL news! |

| Great read! Couldn't put it down! Recommended it to several people, even a few liberals that might "get it" once they read it and understood what you base your values and opinions on. My fourteen year old son is currently reading it. He watches your show with me regularly and he shares your opinions at school frequently. Surprisingly he hasn't been expelled yet! I plan to get the "Kids are Americans too" book for him next. Thank you for all you do, especially for the military, my father was in the Army and my brother was in the Navy, I was Law Enforcement for many years. Waiting anxiously for your next book in Wilmington,NC.

| Bill, you are one cute kid! Someone said, "Oh, he was being prepped for priesthood!" I said, "His mom probably was lucky he ever made alter boy!" What a bad boy! No, you were from a no nonsense family where the basics was enough, morals seemed to be all one could offer a kid. Coming from the similar background one doesn't end up doing too bad. Parents who give a decent effort proves to be key. Many have loser parents. Some were blessed to have just enough. Don't put the Bible down though. He's got lots more to teach ya!

I laughed heartily, cried, relived my past growing up Catholic, posted your sensible philosophy on my computer, and then PROMPTLY (aka 12 yrs. of parochial school training...!) shipped the book off to the state of Virginia, to one of my 10 siblings! Hopefully, it will make the rounds in short order! Thanks for being you and for being a great American! Ann Y., Albany, NY |

| I think of all the O'Reilly books I've read this one is the best. Well written and easy to read. It also brought back memories of my childhood as I also attended catholic grammer schools. I was very happy to help donate a book to our soldiers as being an Army soldier myself during the Vietnam war I know what it means to get articles from home. It is good for morale. Keep up the good work and thanks for watching out for us. |

I am a widow. Lost my husband to cancer last December, after 54 years of marriage and 2 children, 2 grands and 1 great grand.

| I am an avid reader but with the economy such as it is, I hesitated to order "Bold Fresh.." When your special was announced (the book, the bumper sticker, the canvas bag and the contribution of $2.00 by both you and your publisher to the Wounded Warriors AND a copy of the book sent to a service member) I HAD to take advantage of it. I have been contributing to the Wounded Warriors since Tony Snow talked about it. This was a deal that I could not refuse. Thank you |

| Thank you Mr O"Reilly for the great trip through memory lane, although I am a few seconds older than you and product of the parochial school . Your delightfull book made me laugh and
and even cry ..... Gosh that was one of the best time in life. One of the lessons learn was "Never relinquish your virtue nor comprise your integrity. It worked for me |

| Absolutely loved it. Having help raise our three sons, pages 120 and 121 had me laughing out loud. I was flying at the time--I ususally try and keep my laughter to a minimum in public---but not this time!! Many of my childhood friends were Catholic--so I could appreciate you school stories, as well. Love you show (as does my husband), Culture Warrior, and Kids Are, etc.etc.. Sent the later to our 14 year old grandaughter. Beverly (Henderson, Nevada). Keep up the good work. |

I can really relate to the book a lot. Keep writing Mr. O'Reilly!! |

| I really enjoyed reading Bold Fresh. I was born in 1942, so I could relate to many of the things in your childhood - such as playing outside and making up things to do. We weren't allowed to sit around the house - we had to get outside. Many times I remember telling my mom, "There's nothing to do." She would simply say, "Go outside and find something to do." And I did. And most of the time she would have to call me to get me to come in. Thanks for sharing yourself in this book. You were a rascal, but it is good to know there are still people who look out for the unfortunate or for those who are being taken advantage of. Harriet, Glennville, Georgia |

| Where do I even begin! This book is the greatest!! I laughed out loud in places and said, "Right on" in agreement in others . It is both entertaining and informative and lets the reader know in no uncertain terms (pithy to the max) where Bill stands. Right on, always looking out for the underdog. Definitely a five star rated piece of writing. I'm a huge Factor fan and now will get all Bill's books too. OUTSTANDING!!! Jan, Como, Colorado |

| Bill, I can relate. "Bold Fresh" had a "Barbara" to your "Norma" in Junior High who was teased by me and others relentlessly. To this day, I'm 63, I wish I could find her and apologize. Have you found Norma these so many years later?
Culture Warrior was a great read and likewise I thoroughly enjoyed A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity.

| Mr. O and I had almost identical childhood experiences, attending Catholic grade school and high school. It was in part like reading my own past! The movie "Song of Bernadette" I still remember being taken with the entire class to the auditorium to see it. And I think we did get milk and cookies afterwards which made it doubly rewarding:) And my Catholic education has led me to pretty much the same world view as Mr. O; which is good. We were taught a certain standard of behavior and I still adhere to it. And I also attended my 25th Catholic gradeschool reunion, recognizing instantly all my classmates. I thought we all looked 13 years old or under at that reunion. Wonder if Mr. O experienced the same thing. |

| Bill: Really related to "Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity". Went to school at Penn State for 5 years, 1965-1970, never had a drink, never tried drugs, took a fair amount of ridicule for not joining in but stood my ground and made my own choices. I'm not a religious person, my religion is the "Golden Rule", very similar to many of your own philosophies. It's all about respecting yourself and others and being responsible for your actions. You've done well by that thinking and I respect that!! Jac Mac |

| Like many of us "regular folks" who grew up in the '50s, whether in the outskirts of New York like Bill O'Reilly, or on a small farm in the suburbs of Indianapolis as a young girl, anyone who doesn't get this book isn't American!! I laughed, I cried, and I welled up with pride!! I was already a big fan of the O'Reilly Factor, but now have an even greater admiration for your work and determination to get to the heart of stories. I was especially touched by your stories of your teaching days. I had many good teachers during my years of school, and I know you know you are right about the discipline and encouragement and peer pressure all going hand in hand. Thanks for a wonderful book!! I look forward to your next one! Cindy L. |

| I read this book sitting on a beach in Punta Cana - I was ready for any negative comments from anyone about it too (I did not get any) - I now know why Bill & my husband function the way they do - they are both alike in almost every way!!! - SCARY - It was entertaining, easy to read & both sad & funny. My husband gave my Pinhead sticker to an elderly neighbor who is an O'Reilly fan, it is on his old pickup truck bumper. Can't wait for my husband to read it too to see if he see similiarities. Don't think it will make people who hate Bill, like him, but it sure helped me know why he is how he is. While reading this book, I could just see him in the different situations. Thank you Bill for what you do. You, Sir, are a true Patriot. |

| It was a joy to read this book, " A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity " for it gave me insight just how this man got to be such an American Patriot as he is to those of us who listen to him and feel he is saying just what we are feeling. It brings the reader to the core of this man, how he feels and why he feels as deeply as he does. This drivng need that he lets us all feel along with him keeps us norished with the understanding of why he is what he is. Reading about his family, his youth ( his antics were so in tune to what we sometimes still see on his show) that we now can understand his strong desire to right the wrong that he so well recognizes. His viewers that enjoy his programs would do well to read this book. It will bring them to know the man that fights for American's rights and why he does it. Thank you Mr. Bill O'Reilly. Your viewers love you! |

| Bill, thanks for writing my autobiography. Just change the names to protect the innocent. I'm 75 years old and my parents also said "come home when the street lights come on". It was a great time to be growing up - no organized activities, except what the kids organized for themselves. This was your best book yet. Now it's time for another fiction piece.

| Mr.O'Reilly,
You hit another one out of the park. FIVE STAR RATING again, if not more. Couldn't put it down. It's always interesting to me to see how famous people, especially people like you who make a difference in our society and our thought process, as to how you started out in childhood, adolesence, early twenties, etc., and get to where you are now. You were quite a guy and still are. I found myself laughing outloud and feeling other emotions quite strongly. How are you going to top this one?
Thank You,
5 STARS,
Sue

| a wonderfull book. couldn't put it down. Bill O'reilly is my hero in exposing the bullies of this world and placing them in their place. He should recieve one of those American freedom awards. The war on Christian values is going to be intensified and he needs to expose all attempts to remove God from our culture. Incidentlly, I also purchased Cultural Warriors a few years ago and really enyoyed. what's next? |

| Read the book before I gave it away as a Christmas present. I thought I was reading a bio of my life. I went to school at St. Elizabeth's in Linden NJ after leaving St. Benedicts in Newark NJ. The difference between you and me was that I spent my entire 8th grade on the back steps of the convent during lunch time. I never got a chance to visit the Nun's bedrooms but created enough havoc in their kitchen, particularly when I fried bacon on Fridays. I didn't eat it but the Nun's didn't know that. The other difference is that you are making a hell of a lot more money that me in spite of our common experiences in "catholic" school. |

| Great book! I'm still reading it - I laugh and then I get upset about the way this country is moving. So far, Chapter 2 - Self Reliance is my favorite. I totally agree with all you wrote. The Katrina Disaster was certainly disturbing in many ways. Mr. O'Reilly, I have to say that YOU ARE a bold, fresh piece of humanity - and we like it! |

As he read the book, he would just laugh out loud and comment about he was able to relate to your book as he attend Catholic school his whole life. He started reading the moment I gave it to him. He highly recommended to everyone we saw to get their own copy and read it.
He didn't want to lend it to anyone as he may not have it returned. I only hope he will lend it to me to read it as well.
Thank you for providing him with such a great gift and enjoyment. |

| "Watch how a person treats his mother. If he can't treat her decently, you don't want to know him." A quote from your book.
I knew my husband was a "keeper" when I saw him interact with his mother. He's been a great husband for 51 years. My mother lived with us for the last 14 years of her life and she benefitted from my choice- he treated her better than her sons could.
My husband and I truly enjoyed the book. Millie and Jerry, Wheeling, WV |

| Bill, I really like the quick and easy process of ordering the book and door mat. The bumper sticker is on my car but I wish I had done what one of the customer reviewers did...put it inside on the car window. We have had slushy snow here and I'm going to be dreadfully sad when the sticker wears off. I wouldn't even have minded if the print was in huge letters. MERRY CHRISTMAS BILL. from Bonnie |

| Dear Bill,
I am really enjoying your book A Bold, Fresh. It brings back many memories. I could tell you a few good stories about my third grade nun and all the nuns in my Catholic elementary school. I always read comments from people stating how they survived Catholic schools. But as I remember it, we weren't surviving anything, we in fact were torturing the nuns. The Sisters had to be hard, or the kids would destroy them. We had 60 boys in my eighth grade class and the nun was too weak. I remember how she cried after an errant pass resulted in a Kotex landing on the floor near her desk after having been tossed about hastily by foolish boys. It is rather ironic that I who received many thumps, bumps and slaps from the nuns over those years would now be their ardent supporter when I'd have more of a cause to bear them animosity. We deserved all the discipline we got and probably should have gotten more. And even with those huge class sizes we actually learned. I suspect that we would have been, as a class ,at least in the 80th percentile in any of the subjects tested by our state presently.
I have adapted the complimentary, "We say, Merry Christmas" , bumper sticker to an interior window message on my car , to preserve it against the elements for use in future Christmas seasons.
Merry Christmas,
Matt |

| As I read the book, I kept thinking this could be a first rate movie. Well written, down to earth and relates to most everyone who reads it. Bill is definitely not a blooter! I've proudly put the "No Pin Heads" mat in my house right where guests come in and we've got the Christmas bumper stickers boldly and freshly displayed on our vehicles. Thank you! |

| I've just finished listening to the audio version of the book and loved it! It's been passed on to my Dad and loves what he's heard so far. I purchased the book for my mom who prefers the written word over the CD's. I'm sure she'll love it as much as I did. |

| Bill's tales of all his shannanigans and the way he describes his teachers leave you with a smile on your face. I enjoy his insight about being raised in a time where morals, values and hard work mattered and I hope this country comes back to that! Bill makes so much sense to me the way he formulates his views and the way he lives his life and hopefully our misunderstood Culture Warrior will be more understood by the public after reading his book. |

| I just loved Bold Fresh... I lived in an orphanage with nuns for 8 years of my young life and over the years I had a Bill O'Reilly in some of my classes. Even had a Sister Mary Thomas. I agree with Bill about loving my Catholic faith to the end. Nothing in life is perfect. Perfection died for all. Hate to finish it! Thank you, Marie (Schoharie, NY) It's definately a five star......... |

| A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity is entertaining as it reaffirms the values we hold (or did) hold dear in this country. We must hold on to those values and not let them die, (I think).

| Excellent Book, very entertaining, a few laugh out loud points, such as the alarm clock story! I actually bought the book for my son for Christmas (yes I said Chrismtas) he's a new fan, I couldn't help myself I had to read it, so now I'm giving him a used gift. I felt sad when I finished the book, I wanted to read more. Great Job Bill. |

| My wife and I both enjoyed "A Bold Fresh...". Indeed, the book explains your well founded perspective on the world, people and events. We both can relate to your youth as also experiencing 12 to 16 years of Catholic education.

| I purchassed "A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity" as a gift for another person but cheated and read it first. The book took me back to my childhood and made me recall the things I learned in the Boy Scouts of America, for Bill expresses the same principles of life and good citizenship expressed by all good Scouts. I am 79-years-old and still remember them well. DGB, Big Sandy, Texas |

| I really enjoyed the book! I was born and raised in Lynbrook so I could absolutly relate to your family dynamics and the social issues of that time. I was one of seven and although we weren't considered poor we certainly weren't considered middle class either. But we had respect, had a conscious, felt remorse and became better people because of it. Your book pointed all of that and so much more in a light, heartful and entertaining way. Thank you for that!. |

We both enjoy watching Bill on the Oreilly Factor,we feel he speaks for all the people. |

| I've read about half of the book--loving it so far. When I turned the very first page, and saw the flag and the pledge of allegiance, I immediately got tears in my eyes. It took me back to grade school where we began each day by bowing our heads and saying the Lord's prayer, then stood, faced the flag, with our right hand on our hearts, and recited the pledge. How blessed we were to grow up in that America. I miss it, and hope that Bill and all of us in the heartland can work to bring back the love of country that we learned as kids.
The book is funny, and is like listening to Bill talk. Love the stories of his growing up. For any traditionalist, a wonderful read. |

| My husband and I are, both, reading Bold. I identify with your aversion to drugs and certainly to getting drunk. It was hard enough for you to go through the 60s and 70s so can you imagine a parent's dilemma and worry!! I made sure I knew what my children were reading and listening to and kept abreast of the temptations of the era as best I could. It was not an easy time, believe me. Thank you, Bill, for writing this book. It is making me feel so good that there are others who think along the same lines as I. Keep up the good fight as it is worth it!!! |

I ordered the book mostle to have one go to our troops overseas as I am retired Air Force. I was not disappointed by the book. I watch the factor all the time and always wondered what turned you into what you are today.

| Loved the book and really appreciate your sending a copy to our troops. My son-in-law saw me reading it and now is reading it himself. I finished it in a day, and could relate since I went to Catholic elementary and high school in New York also; however, I didn't get into as much trouble as you did. In my first grade class we had 98 students and the nun went around the room with a yard stick and told everyone to sit still and be quiet. We all did as we were told as back then we were just as scared of our parents finding out if we did anything wrong.

| You'll love reading about Bill and his shenannigans growing up. Having grown up myself in the suburbs of NYC, attending Catholic schools and having strict parenting, I could really identify with the book. It's really an affirmation of living a good life and having been fortunate enough to have grown up with all the things I have just mentioned. Bill has OBVIOUSLY taken all his life's lessons and put them to good use. Bill is the ONLY one in the mass media that actually understands AND is willing to speak out on the things that us regular people are thinking.
Very entertaining read !! Can't wait to read his next book.

It's nice to know there are possibilities for him other than a life of crime. This book should be required reading for teachers. It has given me a fresh view of the "troublemakers." |

When he reads something particularly funny, he has to tell me about it. He can't wait for me to read it. But he'll be done with it soon, and I'll be able to read it for myself. Meanwhile, he said we have to get at least two more books for friends who are fans of the Factor also. We know they'll love it as much as he does. Thank you for all you do.

| Excellent book! I read it in 3 hours, I just couldn't put it down! I wish there were more people "looking out" for us the way Bill does. I was born in 1978 into a hard working class family in Southwestern Pennsylvania (no, we aren't racists or rednecks John Murtha!). My husband used to tell me that I was weird when I ate fish sticks with ketchup. I was vindicated when he read that Bill O'Reilly also ate that as a child! HA HA! Thanks for such a positive outlook on life in such negative election times, when if feels as though no one is on our side and we can't trust anyone. I especially loved the part in the book about kindness; a small act of kindness can go such a long way. People have forgotten that idea. |

| I couldn't put "A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity" down until I'd read it. Bill tells his story with such honesty and humor, that I was laughing all the way through. I've read two other O'Reilly books and will continue until I've read all of them. I can't thank you enough, Bill, for watching out for us among all the biased media. I depend on you and seldom miss the "Factor". |

| Hi Bill, I haven't had a chance to read Bold Fresh since my husband grabbed it as soon as it arrived and has been enjoying it. I think we are about the same age a and can really relate to some of the stories you tell about our lives back then. Life was so much simpler. I grew up in Bellport, Long Island, and left at 16 when my folks moved to sunny AZ. I have not been back since but hope to go see the old neighborhood one day. I am a nurse at the Dept of Veteran Affairs and a 17 year breast cancer surviror and I admire the heck out of you. Take care and keep fighting for the folks! |

| Hey Bill, you were a very ornery boy! I bet your Mother didn't want to know what you and your friends were doing or she would have to kill you. I loved the book and laughed out loud through the whole book. It's one of the best books I've read! It's a good thing my five kids are grown and hadn't read your book to get a lot of fun ideas. I bought two books so more would go to the armed forces. I love your show. If you see Alan Colms, will you please a swift kick in the seat of his pants and maybe that will change his head. Our kids and grandkids are in the process of reading your book. This is the third book of yours that I've bought. Thanks for standing up for the average American and fighting the fight for us and keeping us informed. |

| I ordered the book, my "blind" husband ordered the audio book. My husband Bill was raised in the Catholic school system about the same time as O'Reilly. The book is hysterical. I love Bill O'Reilly even more after reading his book. We watch Fox every night. The book is EXACTLY how all us "right" people think. Thank God for all that Bill has done for all of us and standing up against those in America that have screwed us for so long. Highly recommend, and thank you for sending books to the troops. Keep up the awesome work, we look forward to watching you and others at Fox for many years to come.

| Bill: My husband was born in 1952 and I arrived in 1956----both products of the Catholic school system (my husband all through school, and me, just high school. An all-girl high school, yet. In Dorchester, MA, to boot!) He hasn't read 'Bold Fresh" yet, but I just finished last night. I found myself laughing out loud over the stories of your childhood--especially about the nuns (we never thought they had hair...or feet, for that matter!), and the weekly menu at the O'Reilly house....but, hey, didn't your mom ever go through the "Chung King" phase?? "Chung King makes Chinese food...sing AMERICAN!!"
Our 'hoodlums' went by the names of Steven Hatch, Michael Dargon and Stephen Porkiniki, to name a few. You've made me want to dig out the old school pictures, just for laughs. But, as kids, we knew how to have FUN--you've got to admit that!
Love ya,

| It was a look back into my history as I too attended one year public school then twelve years in Catholic school. I really remember the nuns and the stories are very similar. |

| This is a great read.....I just recently became a fan of Bill O and now I am addicted to his show as well as H&C, Greta etc. This gives me a great perspective on who and why Bill is the way he is based upon his upbringing, etc. I have been recommending Fox to watch for Fair and Balanced reporting as well as recommending this book! I want to read the other books now too.

| Very enjoyable book!!!! Eventhough Cuba is my birth place, I share with Bill the same love and respect that he has for this country. His spunk and fairness is enjoyed in our household on a daily basis. |

| What a joy to read and what a trip down memory lane! I was raised in a small Kansas town and could relate to Levittown like I lived there myself! Perhaps this is why so many can relate to Sarah Palin.....raised with those same values, character building experiences and love of country so desperately needed today. No way would I trade places with the "inside the beltway people". Thanks for a fun read but also a vivid reminder of the values we should still hold and teach today. |

| I found this book to be a really fun read, being able to identify with so very much of it. Inspite of the frugal living during his youth, Bill grew up with very strong values that have served him well throughout his life. I am also impressed with the fact that he easily proclaims his catholicity for all the world to see. I recommend this book as a great read, even for those that profess not to like BOR. |

| I have thoroughly enjoyed all of Bill's books but is by far my favorite! My Dad was so much like Bill's and those of us in our late 50's can identify with the stories and events. Great job Bill. i hope you have another book in the works soon!

| I' the same age as Bill but was raised in a Bronx NY 5 stroy walk up apartment house. I experienced the same local New York grammar school (60 kids in a class, be home when the street lights come on, alter boy), high school and college stuff. Despite the large class sizes and some really crazy students, the dicipline of the nuns and involvement of parents assured everyone would learn. We were called blod and brazen rather than bold and fresh but the point is the same. Neighborhoods were safe for kids to play and grow without fear of kidnapping or molestation. The socialism introduced since then changed all that. After reading this I feel as though I was actually out on the street or in the classroom having these experiences with Bill. Would like someday to meet him. |

| Great book! It brought back a lot of my childhood memories. I was pleased to read that you and I share the same values. I was brought up going to church 3 to 4 times a week, and I did rebel as soon as I was able to. But those values stick with you and you come back. The fabric of this country has been ripped apart by Socialism, and Hollywood, and the American Dream that has spiraled out of control. This Country needs more John McCains and Sarah Palins....not more of Acorn and Ayers and Barack, Palosi and Barney Frank & Dodd and on and on and on it goes. |

| As good or better than your previous books. What is interesting to me, is that I had a completely different background and upbringing, yet arrived at the same conclusions about life and have the same values as you do, Bill. I wonder how that happened? |

| I loved the book. All 14 kids in my family attended the same Catholic grade school and all but one attended the same Catholic high school. The baby went to an all-boys Jesuit high school, which is also where my son went. My oldest brother was born in 1947 and the youngest in 1970. You captured so many of the moments of my childhood perfectly! Thanks!

| I thought this was a great read, one where I saw myself being revealed as well in many of the stories by Bill. Even though I was raised in WI I had a very similar upbringing and could relate to much of what Bill went through. I do not have the same financial successes that Bill has achieved but still feel that my life is a success in many ways due to our common background. My wife is, in my mind, a very successful high school teacher, loves the O'Reilly show and is planning on using excepts from the book in her classroom curriclum. Thank you for your work. |

| We are reading Bill's book ... it's wonderful! I'm sure going to have a more difficult time yelling at him on the O'Reilly Factor now ... tee hee ... we think more and more of him as we read! Love his writing style, charming and easy to read and laugh along with him in some instances. |

| Completely satisfied, great book. As an Air Force Veteran, Mr. O'Reilly is a great patriot and excellent author. I have read Culture Warrior and am half way through Bold Fresh and it is a good insight into his personality. I am also a big Factor fan and never miss an episode. He is definately looking out for us! |

| My only regret is that I didn't order the audio version (just listened to the sampler on line). I am a nurse, work five 8-10 hours days a week and when not "on the job", care for my little 92 y.o. mother with Alzheimers. I rise at 5am, return home between 6and 7pm ,fix dinner, put Mom to bed and turn on the The Factor. I hit the sack at 9pm. There is little reading time ( a preferred pastime) when I am home but I look forward each night to a few pages of this delighttful story. Being a 60 y.o cradle Catholic with a Republican (though WASP) mother and an Irish (Daniel Eugene Quinn) Catholic Democrat father, I can really identify. The anecdotal way you have written allows me to read in segments...I usually put the book after each belly laugh(the perfect nightcap). At the rate that I'm going, I should finish before election day. This is the first book of yours that I have read, but it will surely not be my last. Am especially happy that you are sending copies to the military. My dad was a career AirForce, fought in WWll with his 3 brother's...lost 2 of them in the European theater. Also have 2 sons who served ..one 12 years active duty , the other in the reserves. Lastly, I do not think you bloviate. You speak/write economically...using exactly as many words as are necessary to make your point/tell your story. Congratulations on being so bold and so fresh. Pax et bonum.

| Mr. O'Reilly's book took me back to my childhood in so many of the experiences that he talked about. It was fun and nostalgic. Mr. O'Reilly always provides food for thought which he did over and over again throughout his book. He confirmed many of my own values and prompted some discernment about others. A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity is a good read! |

| This book brought back so many memories of my life as I was growing up. I'm a few years older than you are Bill. It also brought out memories of when our four children were growing up and the shenanigans they got into. However parents don't usually find out about these until they grow up and are out of the house. That's when they feel free to reminisce . Anyway it was a lot of fun!!!!!

| My husband and I read ....A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity. We both enjoyed it very much. My husbands name is Klem. (Spelt with a K rather then the C of Bill's friend.) Klem also went to a Catholic school and unfortunately was on the top of the prankster list. I laughed and could relate to some of Clem's tricks. I wish more people would take on Bill's attitude of fair play. The book is now passed on to a good friend to enjoy. KEEP WRITING BILL.

| I have bought some of Bill's other books for gifts, but this is the first one for me. I am enjoying it, and I can almost hear him saying the words, since I am a Factor fan. He tells it like it is, with a touch of humor thrown in, holding one's interest. I will look forward to reading some of his other books now. |

| This is a great read. It is quite interesting learning Bill's history and how He came about his perspectives on life. I find Mr. O'reilly to be one of the few commentators that has a lot of "common sense". This is an entertaining book about a great American. |

| I was going to request the book for Christmas but decided to order early so one would also go to the troops. I really enjoyed the book. I feel a connection to O'Reilly since I followed him as an investigative reporter in Denver. I also grew up in NY, survived Catholic schools and have numerous similar misadventures in my past. The book is an easy read and fast moving. Anyone who likes, respects or admires O'Reilly now will understand him and like him more after reading this book. I am looking forward to his next book. |

The only down side of the book is since I started it, my laundry has begun to pile up. Thank you so much for the book ! |

| Inspiring book! Bill told his personal story in a way I related to and his humor, respect and love of others came through in a way you can't imagine when listening to his show or watching him on the Factor. I look at Bill differently now and understand where he's coming from and what makes him tick. Thank you Bill for a great read and for sending a copy overseas to our troops. Great photos! |

| If you have ever felt like you were different, marching to the beat of your own drum then this book is for you. It's an amazing set of stories that flows like a conversation between Bill and you. It reminds us as Americans and you as the individual to all the blessings and opportunities that we have in this country. I have laughed, cried, and even found myself retelling this stories as they relate to my life, especially being a child of the baby-boomer generation. Bold fresh tells it how it is...and how it should be (in my opinion). It reminded me of some bad times but more importantly of the good times to come, personally, politically and as a patriot.... by the way, this book is definitely not for pinheads since they may need a thesaurus to get through some of the text. Bill.... you are truly a bold fresh piece of humanity and I absolutely love the book. |

It was wonderful to discover more interesting things about Bill and the experiences in life that have brought him to where he is today. Truly an inspiration and a great example of how hard work pays off... a lesson many Americans need to learn! |

| A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity is a wonderful book that I can most certainly relate to since I'm only a couple years older than Bill O'Reilly. We played the same unsupervised games outdoors, ate the same foods and we didn't seem to have a care what was going on in the world. And we all grew up to be the greatest people. We survived the different times. After reading the book, I keep it near by to pick up every now and then and re read favorite stories Bill has written. I hope there will be another book similar to this one!

It is humorous, heart wrenching and insightful. It's obvious that Bill is the ONLY one out there looking out for the avaerage "folks"! Thanks! |
