• She Did And Does Her Job A Rich,honest, Courageous And Entertaining Book
12 January, 2010
There are so much to say about this book, and I suspect many other reviewers have said much of it. I would only say that I came away from the book with a tremendous respect for Barbara Walters, her honesty her courage, her remarkable energy, her loyalty to her parents and sister, her devotion to her daughter, her wisdom in dealing with life's difficulties, her hanging in there in tough situations and knowing how to make the best of them. And much much else. I do have reservations about the book and about some of the things she does. I do not believe she tells the 'whole truth' about her marriages. I do not applaud her willingness to speak with each and every dictator and tyrant , if it will be a good interview. But overall it is impossible not to have great admiration for her great capacity to care about , and help a wide audience know about all kinds of interesting, and often remarkable people. This book tells a lot about the American media world, and American history in the time of her life.
While the book is a good interesting and entertaining read throughout I found that the story of her early years was particularly moving for me. She brings back memories of many lost things, and illustrates again and again how things once cared for as important fall in time to being completely forgotten.
An admirable book by an admirable person.

• Good Reading

I learned a lot about the TV news business. The information about her personal life was secondary, and presented very appropriately. Very well written. Good for a book club.

• Walters Is A Great Journalist, Not A Great Writer
27 February, 2010
It seems as if Barbara Walters didn't want to leave out any details in writing this long book. But the main thing she doesn't say about her life that I wanted to know was how and what she was thinking as she interviewed the world's most famous people. She lays it out like a catalog, but it lacks true insight and feeling.

• Name Dropper Walters
01 February, 2010
For the most part, I enjoyed reading this book, however, it goes on a bit too long. It was detailed and I realize Walters is a journalist and details are her game, but I could have edited it down at least one hundred pages. Her life was quite interesting and overall she gives good information but not enough on the personal side. I think that historically it is a valuable story because Walters was a pioneer for women in the media in many ways.
