Very easy to read very funny book. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it and finished it in a few hours. If you love Betty and her humor and love of life then you will love this book. Just little quips about her life, things that have changed her and her outlook on life, etc. I really enjoyed it and felt like I was actually with her listening to her talk to me as if she was in the room right with me having an evening chat.

Who doesn't just love Betty White!! She is an awesome and amazing person and her book does not disappoint. It was an extremely fast read though. I finished this book in just a few hours. I wanting a little something more, but realized that she has written many books and will definitely be checking those out soon. Betty White is a true Hollywood treasure indeed!

I'm not sure whether to recommend this book or not. I liked it and hated it at the same time. I love Betty White and was interested in her life and what she had to say. I was disappointed that she didn't talk more about her deceased husband, because I remember their game show times together. She barely talked about him, which is where I guess my disappointment comes in. The chapters are very short and therefore the book is an easy, fast read. I had also hoped to hear more about the other stars of the Golden Girls (all deceased except for Betty) and there isn't as much of that in the book either. I don't think Betty is the type to dish dirt on former co-stars, but I would have liked more info. Still, if you're a Betty White fan, the read is probably worth it. If you're a big animal lover, it's probably worth the read. There are pictures at the beginning of almost every chapter, and even though most don't correlate to the chapters at all, it helps to keep interest. I still love Betty White!

Fun collection of thoughts and reminiscences from Betty White. Not a memoir or biography by any means, but a fun way to while away a few hours.

Love dear Betty White, was hoping this book would give more insight into her sunny outlook on life. It was "light and breezy" and left me wondering more about her early adult life.

She entertained us for so many years! A wonderful woman, strong in her convictions.

Perfectly cheerful and newsy book, just as witty as the author. I loved reading, putting down, picking back up. A perfect thing to keep beside other tasks and a good mood elevator. All she does - at her age!!!

Fair book. I'm not a fast reader but I finished this in 2 nights. There is little substance; more like her thoughts on different things. Lightweight but if you really like Betty it's an OK book.
