I am a big fan of anyone who is a straight-shooter, anyone who isn't afraid to tell the truth, or speak their opinion regardless of how popular or unpopular it is. I think this is the predominate reason I really like Bill O'Reilly and after reading several of his books, watching his news program, and even following his Talking Points via email, it all reinforces just how much I agree with many of his viewpoints.
Keep It Pithy is a neat book - short, concise, a quick read. It is conversational meaning that O'Reilly is writing like he is having a conversation with you. There are many different examples of how he uses bold and italics changes to emphasize his point or pose a question to the reader. And while I usually find this difficult to read I didn't with this book. It was very simple to follow along and honestly it made me read more quickly because it was broken up into smaller chunks.
He makes no apologies and clearly states that this read is entirely based on his opinions and he wants to give readers a clear and pithy summary of his viewpoints. Along with that, he is teaching readers how to keep it pithy in their political conversations. The subtitle states it all,
Useful Observations in a Tough World.
Great Book: 4/5
