A unique and interesting life September 11, 2008
This was a very enjoyable read. The best part of the book involves her interviews with famous people. She is able to intersperse tidbits about world leaders, celebrities, politicians and newsmen with her own personal life. Also, she explores her early foray as a journalist and tv host during a time when television was just starting to make an impact. It was interesting to note that Barbara's father was famous in his own right as well and she honestly acknowledges that she got into her career through her father's connections. Of course, she had to keep auditioning to prove herself and eventually became a celebrity herself. Fascinating story!!
 Entertaining September 9, 2008
Barbara Walters did a fantastic job of "interviewing" herself. She even made herself cry.
My only regret is she did not answer the question, "If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be"?
Maybe in the next book??
Great read....very entertaining and I even learned a few things about our world's leaders.
Buy, Borrow or Beg it....a wonderful read.
Barbara Walters as a best friend September 7, 2008
A very well written and honest book with a lot of insights in the Radio and TV world. A bit irritating is that Barbara Walters calls everybody her friend, good friend or best friend with a very few exceptions. I have deep respect not only for her writing qualities but als for her hard work as a presentator.

Bought as a present along with another book (hardbound) from Amazon "The Last Lecture". On both copies pages were so unevenly cut it looked as though a mouse or two had a good dinner. The library had a proper copy! Otherwise, Amazon has been good to me over the years, except for the ultimate embarrasement of presenting this gift (time ran out.)
BARBARA WALTERS AUDITION September 4, 2008
Here I am in Australia possibly one of a few to own the book as it is not due to hit our shelves until at least December. I received the book last night and sat up and read nearly half the book before I had to concede to sleep. She is a very interesting woman and the people she has met and interviewed is mind blowing and at the same time this intimate travel through Babara Walters life displays the humble and human side of her. I am betting that by late this evening I will have finished the book, because it was so hard to put down.
I would recommend it to anyone - even if you don't know the first thing about this lady. A book well worth buying.
