Ok, so I was at my local library and saw this in the new bin. I picked it up well basicaly because I hadn't found anything else to read ( we have a very small library) and I like to read bios and such from time to time. Well, the first half of the book was pretty good, hearing Barbara recap her ancestory and childhood was excelent and interesting, but it seems in the middles of the book it just ran out of steam for me. It was like from there on one big book of name dropping of people I havent even heard of( i'm not talking about the interviews with the celebrities and political figures and state heads, that was a plus)people that has been in the business that I really don't care about, but perhaps they do to her in a great deal for they did help her along the way, so I guess my only real complaint is the endless name dropping of people I dont know, over and over again.Nontheless Ms. Walters has had a very colorful, eventful, very full life, kudos to her for sure. And really is there anyone out there that doesn't like Barbara?
