I like non-fiction so I picked this up not really being a Barbara Walters fan but of course have seen her interviews as well as the Saturday Night Live skits over many years. I have to say I really enjoyed this book. As others have said, the first part of the book is when Barbara was a young girl and growing up in the 40's, 50's etc in Boston, NYC and Miami. I think she did herself a favor including this information because you can tell it is really what shaped her, gave her drive and also makes Barbara very human. I highly recommend this book.
