Found so many similarities in the stories of O'Reilly's life to my own...it was a pleasure to grow up with all this "harmless mischief" once again...certainly O'Reilly decided early on to be the crusader, the "looking out for you" guy (standing up for those unable or unwilling to fend for themselves and taking it to the bad guys). This is where our styles departed; never was a noble crusader of the neighborhood...in fact quite the contrary and leave it at that.
Anyway, found O'Reilly's story to be worth telling & reading about. It's a quick, easy read; my one issue with book is Bill's disparaging remarks about Green Acres (one of my favorite comedies); I wonder if he ever really watched it enough to understand its' subtle nuances & deep plot complexities.
