Title: Bill O'Reilly: The Inspirational Life Story of Bill O'Reilly

Publisher's Summary:

Discover the inspirational life of Bill O'Reilly and the impact his life has had on popular American culture today!

Ireland would not regain herself until just after 1348 when the plague struck. Because most of the English and Norman inhabitants of Ireland lived tightly compacted in towns and villages, the plague hit those groups harder than the native Irish who lived farther apart from one another. Until 1584, though, Cavan was part of the province of Connacht, but later transferred to the Ulster Province where it remains. In the 15th century, Eoghan 'na feasoige' O Raghallaigh made some very important contributions to Cavan's business fronts. However, being subjected to Norman influence from the twelfth centry, it's cultural history remains a rich one.

As previously mentioned, the O'Raghallaigh clan ruled this part of Ireland in the medieval times. The name of O'Raghallaigh is translated into many forms including Ui Raghaile or more commonly known - O'Reilly - which translates into "descendant of Reilly" or the extroverted one. The motto on the coat of arms translates to "with fortitude and prudence" which is ironic considering the subject of this book - William James O'Reilly, Jr., or more commonly known as the famous American commentator and television show host Bill O'Reilly.

Members Reviews:

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME

This "book" is a waste of time and money - capitalizing on O'Reilly's fame and popularity. Not as good as a story in People Magazine.

Bill O'Reilly

Love all Bill's books

hoax

this is nothing more than what he has gleaned from other sources, especially Mr. O'Reilly; there are mistakes on almost every page; the pages are not numbered. I doubt Mr. O'Reilly would appreciate this persons attempt at writing about him. Perhaps Mr. Bunker should hire a professional proofreader before he attempts to copy anything else he did not originate, and it certainly is not worth the price I paid for it.

NO THANKS

very poorly written, and not accurate.

Not recommended!

Poorly written - editors should have sent it back to the author.

Publisher's Summary:

Learn the Incredible Story of the Minnesota Timberwolves' Basketball Legend Kevin Garnett!

In Kevin Garnett: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Power Forwards, you will learn the inspirational story of one of basketball's premier power forwards, Kevin Garnett. Since joining the NBA directly from high school, Kevin Garnett has had a highly productive and legendary career in the NBA as a leader and as a basketball player. From leading the Minnesota Timberwolves in the early 2000s to playing an important role as part of the Boston Big 3 alongside Paul Pierce and Ray Allen in their deep playoff runs (including a 2008 NBA championship), Kevin Garnett is easily one of the greatest power forwards to play the game.

It is hard to believe that we have had the unique opportunity of seeing a young teen mature into a man throughout his NBA career. While Kevin Garnett is nearing the twilight of his career and has openly accepted the role as a mentor for young bigs such as Karl-Anthony Towns, his legacy in the game of basketball will never be forgotten. After all, anything is possible.

Inspiring story-Highly Interesting and Informative.Love this book

This is a fascinating book on a Basketball Legend and it is highly interesting. The book is highly informative and the author has shown his collection of facts and detail in a heart touching manner. The book caught my attention from first page to the very last.

Young Kevin Garnett lived in a troubled neighborhood in Greenville and growing up was very difficult for him.Whenever he wanted to get things off his mind he turned to basketball.In high school years he started getting attention of scouts.He decide to move to Chicago and transfer to Faragut. The book goes on describing how Garnett blossomed up and improved his potential and talent. He had team mates that he could count on like Marbury and later on he became jealous on contracts for Garnett. The book goes on describing his contracts and the seasons he played and entertained his fans and how succeeded in being a NBA Champion.

This book is an excellent literature on the Basketball Legend and I highly enjoyed in reading this.As a basketball fan I truly like this book every basketball fan is going to love this book. I highly recommend you all to read this book.

Title: Bradley Wiggins: My Hour

Author: Bradley Wiggins

Narrator: Tom Watt

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-19-15

Publisher: Random House AudioBooks

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

For 60 minutes this summer, the British public stopped what they were doing, switched on their radios and their TVs, refreshed their Twitter feeds, and followed Bradley Wiggins' attempt to break one of sport's most gruelling records: The Hour.

The premise is simple enough: how far can you cycle in one hour? But it is thought to be one of the toughest events an athlete can endure, both physically and psychologically. Eddy Merckx, cycling's über-champ, called it the hardest thing he ever did. Wiggins, like many before him, discovered the unique pain of pushing yourself as hard as you can for 60 minutes.

In this revealing book, Bradley Wiggins takes you behind the scenes of his record attempt. From planning to preparation to training to execution, Bradley shares his thoughts on his sacrifices, his heroes, and the people who have supported him along the way as well as what's to come as he heads towards the twilight of his stellar career.

My Hour is a fitting celebration of one of Britain's best-loved sportsmen in his finest hour.

Members Reviews:

Loved it!

Great insight about the graft!!

Interesting stats, liked the sections around the historical efforts made to achieve the top space!

Good, but you would need to be a cycling fan.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

It's very much a cycling book, going over past hour record holders etc.

Would you ever listen to anything by Bradley Wiggins again?

Yes, his first book was much better as that story was more interesting and gave more insights into his personality.

Have you listened to any of Tom Watts other performances? How does this one compare?

Bradley's other book narrated by Tom Watt is much better, but that's nothing to do with the narrator, it's just a better story. Listening to Tom Watt does give the impression that you might be listening to Bradley himself

Was Bradley Wiggins: My Hour worth the listening time?

Yes, but only if your a cycling fan, not sure if you're just a Wiggins fan or British Cycling fan that you will thoroughly enjoy it

Wiggins

Great account of making history.

Really enjoyed this listen.

Worth a listen if a cycling fan.

Well done Wiggo.

Love Bradley, love Tom Watt

Tom is the same narrator as Brad's first book, and he's excellent. It unfolds in very similar fashion to the first book too, with an ongoing 'countdown' splices with stories. If you like cycling, you'll get a lot out of this.

Brilliant.

Shame it's short, wanted it to carry on more. Narrator is very good, feels like listening to Brad himself.

Members Reviews:

A Good Quick Listen

This book does a good job at scratching the surface, but unfortunately does not offer any interesting back stories in any kind of depth.

Surprised by lack of content and quality.

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Someone who wanted to hear a monotone voice read all the stats from every game he ever played.

What could Clayton Geoffreys have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Provide any sort of personal information about who Colin actually is and why he does some of the things he does like battle the media and not stand for the national anthem.

What didnt you like about Korbid Thompsons performance?

Monotone voice.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Colin Kaepernick?

I would have cut 80% of it.

Any additional comments?

In hindsight I should have spent more time reading the reviews and details about the book. It's only 1hr and 13 minutes and "unauthorized" (which I missed) but the part that caught me was "inspirational". Trust me, there is nothing inspirational in this book.

A great athlete

If you could sum up Colin Kaepernick in three words, what would they be?

This audiobook does a good job describing the life and achievements of Quarterback Colin Kaepernick. I was surprised to learn that Kaepernick was nearly as talented in baseball as he was in football! Most of this audiobook is devoted to the specifics of Colin Kaepernick's accomplishments on the football field-with a little bit of Colin Kaepernick's personal information thrown in.

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Daniel William Carter is acknowledged as the greatest fly-half to have played international rugby. A veteran of more than 100 test matches, he is the world record holder for most test points and has been named the IRB's Player of the Year three times.

Carter, though, is renowned for his modesty and unassuming nature and argues that he has he always "just tried to do the best job I can for the All Blacks".

In this searingly honest autobiography, he opens up on the truth about sport at the top level. The ups of victory, hobnobbing with the rich and famous, and business opportunities. But also the downs. The psychological impact of ongoing injuries, the public criticism, the painful rehabbing, and the disappointments of world cups. Carter shows himself to be much more than a sporting robot. A complex, caring, driven but sometimes tortured man.

Critic Reviews:

"Dan Carter named greatest fly-half in history...a one-man phenomenon in a team of them." (The Times)

Members Reviews:

Better than Richies book but still not existing.

Rugby is better as a game than a book.

Games are exciting but Rugby heros stories areta bit drab.

The book was good the narration wasnt!

The book was good the Narration was not. He couldn't pronounced the maori words. Should've just got Dan Carter himself to narrate!

Much better than I expected

The Giants are my favorite team, so naturally I was inclined to give this book a chance. After having just finished it in one sitting, I can definitely say that I'm happy with it and I learned a lot more than I expected to from a ~50 page book. The author skips all the filler and 'fluff' and gets right to the point with a clear and insightful writing style; It's refreshing to finally find a book that doesn't bog me down with unnecessary words and this alone makes the read more than worth it in my opinion!

Missed opportunity

This read too much like a grocery list to me, and unfortunately it didn't add much for me (someone who follows the Giants pretty closely). It skipped right past the 2010 WS (it's mentioned like an afterthought in a random part at the end). Also needed some super basic fact-checking. For instance, Buster's twins are a boy and a girl.

One Star

Written with information you can find on the internet.

Five Stars

A nice pleasant overview of his life and career so far!

Title: Second Innings

Subtitle: My Sporting Life

Author: Andrew Flintoff

Narrator: Richard Burnip

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-11-15

Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Fast bowler, six-hitter, popular hero, one of the lads, king of the jungle - Andrew Flintoff is all of those things.

In Second Innings, his searingly honest yet uplifting autobiography, Flintoff reveals unseen, surprising sides to his career and personality. The restless need to push and challenge himself that led him to take up professional boxing. The complex and troubled relationship with discipline, alcohol and authority during his exhilarating cricket career. The search for an authentic voice as a player, free from the blandness and conformity of modern professionalism. Is Flintoff the last of his kind in any sport?

Through all his highs and lows, triumphs and reversals, this book reveals a central tension. There is "Fred" - performer, extrovert, centre of attention. Then there is "Andrew" - reflective, withdrawn and uncertain. Two people contained in one extraordinary life. And sometimes, inevitably, keeping the two in balance proves too much.

We are taken backstage, seeing the mischief and adventure that has defined Andrew Flintoff's story. Above all, we observe the enduring power of fun, friendship and loyalty - the pillars of Flintoff's career. At ease with his faults as well as his gifts, Andrew Flintoff has sought one thing even more than success: to be himself.

Members Reviews:

average book

Glad I got this for free!! I wouldn't have liked to have paid full wack for this average book.

I am a Fan - but not of his book

What would have made Second Innings better?

I like Andrew Flintoff a lot, but I am not a fan of his book. Its not coherent and tends to jump around. Not any real content to be honest - I found it quite boring

Would you ever listen to anything by Andrew Flintoff again?

Nope

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Tony (A. P.) McCoy has collected a record 20 consecutive jump jockey titles to date, and since 1992 he has ridden over 4,300 winners. This powerfully honest memoir looks at life at the very top in National Hunt racing - and beyond, discussing fatherhood, writing novels and his decision to retire while he's still a long way ahead.

It is a definitive autobiography that is themed around A. P.'s 10 most important races: his first ride, first race, first fall, first win, greatest disappointment - and greatest triumph.

These are the memoirs of a true champion, an icon of sport whose astonishing achievements over the past 20 years are unlikely to be surpassed. It is a great story of courage and triumphs, setbacks and pain, the private and public life of a riding phenomenon. Read by Stephen Armstrong.
