 finally she shows herself to be what she has always been. May 24, 2008
11 out of 22 found this review helpful
Um.. let me get this straight: A "journalist" who has to tell us who she slept with (and why), who for decades has been a fan of dictators with blood on their hands (Castro comes to mind) has now written a "controversial book" about it all? I'm sorry I was given this trash as a present... and even more sorry I read some of it (I couldn't bring myself to finish it). Purchase at your own peril.
Pretentious, but what did you expect? May 24, 2008

I did expect to enjoy this book; I paid full price! Alas, I did not. Barbara Walters should have been a politician. The careful way she says one thing, but infers other things, is a study in political correctness combined with mud slinging. I was bored beyond belief after only a few chapters, so I skipped to look at the pictures, then to read her take on THE VIEW. And in my honest opinion, she lies throughout the chapter. But more than that, for all her living, Barbara Walters has never really learned to see what is going on with other people. If it didn't happen to her, she cannot understand it. And even things that DID happen to her seem beyond her comprehension. I recommend anyone who is interested in just one or two chapters of this book not think they then might like it all -- but go to a bookstore, stand and read those chapters, and spare reading the rest. To add insult to injury, the book has a "rough cut" which means you can't even flip through it. Hmm, maybe Barbara DOES know something of human nature!
Affirmative Sex May 23, 2008
10 out of 25 found this review helpful
Wow! Why is the most interesting thing in Barbara's life her sex life with a black man. Who else did she sleep with to get ahead? Why did she not reveal this? What role did affirmative action play? According to my book "The Angry Black Man's Guide to Success" that is exactly why white women get ahead of black men, because they always have the option of affirmative sex, sleeping with the boss and his friends. What doors did this affair open for her? What a waste of a book.

 Front row on History May 22, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
A man would have titled the book, Front Row on History, based on its contribution to us. A woman titled it after her inner demons. Therein lies its appeal. BW takes us on her journey, complete with a sympathetic, flawed heroine. Thank you Baba Wawa. Your book was too short.
Great Memoir May 22, 2008

This 5 cd set was great when I took my long road trip....easy listening.
If you are interested in this revolutionary lady, Barbara Walters, it is wonderful memoir or her life, family and climb to success. Most inspiring. The only disappointment is since it is an abridged edition, it does not include her affair with the Mass. Congressman.....Recommend highly
