5 out of 5 stars Barbara's View   July 28, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Wow. I just finished the book.I must say it was a fascinating read. I can't rememeber a time when there was no BW just like Bob Barker,it seems these people have been in my life since i was a little boy,anyways it's kinda funny when i think of BW. I often think of the character in the movie "moster in law" with Jane Fonda,but I think everyone should read this book what an amazing life this woman has had,just wonderful,she did pave the way for all female journalists,even THE OPRAH.

I commend Ms. Walters for writing such an honest, many times amusing and very interesting account of her life. As I was reading about her problems with some of the men who treated her so badly I remember John Wayne telling someone (I don't remember who) say 'Don't let the bastards get you down'. And she certainly didn't. She has outlasted and in many cases has outlived them all. I've not finished reading the book yet but so far it has been very interesting, heartwarming and I am enjoying every page.

I am enjoying Barbara's book so much - I can scarcely lay it down. It is
well-written and is most enjoyable. I have a list of friends who are anxious to read it when I am finished.

My other selection is Julie Andrews book and I look forward to reading it.

4 out of 5 stars A great and interesting read   July 24, 2008

I never guessed what an interesting life Barbara led!

This book is a joy to read and Barbara's writing style is pleasant; it's as if a friend is telling you a story. Very personable. Despite its length, she keeps you captivated and interested.

I found it inspiring as well: especially the part when she moved from Today to ABC. As a woman in a man's world, Barbara had to really work her way to the top. She was regularly confronted with hurdles and she handled them with grace and dignity. Reading about her experience helped me tremendously whilst I was dealing with a similar situation. She gave me hope and really made me feel that everything would turn out OK. It eventually did...but Barbara's story certainly kept me going and entertained me at the same time.

Absolutely worth reading.
