Grab a cup of coffee, sit down and let Barbara tell you her story. This book is almost like having her sit down with you and tell you face to face her life story. I was never a big fam of hers, but I very much enjoyed reading this book because she had so many interesting stories and has interviewed almost anyone who is anyone! I came away with a different impression of her than I had before reading the book. She isn't the stuck up, haughty woman she sometimes appears to be, but rather a reserved, very informed, hardworking woman who was fortunate to be in the right places at the right times! Getting into TV in the early years when women were clearly 2nd clas citizens was hard on her and other women. Her experiences that she shared in the book are fascinating to learn about because it is so different now. I liked her stories about some of the people she interviewed - the Menendez brothers, Robert Blakely, Anwar Sedat, Fidel Castro, Monica Lewinsky, the Presidents. I also liked how she sometimes laughed at herself and made fun of some of her experiences and thoughts. She seemed so down to earth and shared some very painful parts of her life. It was a very enjoyable read.
