Audition by Barbara Walters (2008)

This book is simply my opinion since I heard about her from my parents then went on to see and watch her on interviews and 20/20.
Only a few pages in the book and Walters does not want to reveal her age as she says, don't ask, yet her sister Jackie is 3-4 years older so go figure, she has to be 70, if not older.
I oftened wondered why she insisted on special lighting for her television appearances, only to be angled from the left side, now I know.
I have never known anyone so age conscience, and find it sad she can not admit to her real age and her very obvious cosmetic surgeries.
Not only does she have a hangup about her age and plastic surgery,
I feel Ms. Walters has a lot of hidden guilt regarding her mentally challenged sister and this still has yet to be resolved, which is quite sad.
Being a avid reader myself, I found it hard to focus when in one sentence she would give you a hard luck story, then the next sentence would be how well off her family, relatives, ect. who they knew and it was brag, sob, brag.
I have my doubts I will ever finish the book.
I only wish the best for Ms. Walters, hopefully she will retire soon as she could have many years ago and I would love to see her use proceeds from this book to build a center for physically and mentally challanged individuals in her honour.

What a life she has experienced. Thought the book would be a chore to read, and it was in fact a real delight. To share all of that with the rest of the world and so elequantly is a wonderful accomplishment. As if she needed another one. Even my husband is reading it. Fascinating. Highly recommend. And I read a LOT!.

I never got book, seller sent to wrong address, and when I informed Paypal, they blew me off saying the seller has confirmation, he sent it to the wrong address, so I am out the money and book ( the seller is now long gone, and not a seller anymore )

AS I read the book, I could mentally envision Barbara telling her story out loud. She spoke from the heart and was great!

I had seen Barbara promoting her book and knowing what a good writer she was, decided to purchase it. What I wasn't expecting was how in depth it was. It is a big book, one that I emersed myself in and totally enjoyed. Along the way were helpful hints for my own life. I still have her original book, How to Talk To Anyone. A big deal was made about her affair with the senator. That section was a drop in the bucket when reading the entire book. It was hyped to sell books. I will not be selling or giving this one away. It is staying on my shelf.

Since Barbara isn't that much older than myself I was able to relate to the people she talks about in her book. All I know is Barbara worked really, really hard, as she will share with you in the book, so deserves a life of whatever she wants. She has earned it.

I gave the book as a Mother's day present. My mother is reading it now, so I can't really give a good review for you. The book came in good time and was in excellent condition.

I bought this book, originally because I was just being nosey and wanted to know Barbara Walters' business. After I started reading the book, it's hard to put it down. Very well written and very easy to read!

I wanted to read the biography by Barbara Walters. It was an easy and entertaing read. I received it fast and was not sure if I would be able to go to the book store before my trip. However the S/H was higher than I thought media mail should be.

I READ THE FIRST 100 PAGES OR SO AND WAS BORED SILLY. I AM AN AVID READER BUT IT WASN'T WORTH MY TIME TO READ ANYMORE. THERE ARE TOO MANY GOOD BOOKS OUT THERE WAITING FOR MY HUNGRY EYES. HEIDI

What a fabulous book. I enjoyed every page!! The book arrived in excellant condtion and purchasing it on EBAY was the easiest and most reasonable.
