Book Reviews of Audition: A Memoir
Book Review: "There Is Only One Barbara Walters"
Summary: 5 Stars
Barbara Walter's autobiography is a great read. After decades of interviewing people and getting an insight into what makes them who they are, Barbara Walters reveals for the first time what makes her the person she is. It wasn't until she started producing and hosting ABC's "The View" that viewers saw the real Barbara Walters, as it was the first time that she talked about her personal life and the struggles that she has encountered in her life. After reading "Audition" you will see even more insight of not only the best television journalist of our time, but of a person who has had her share of problems, from trying to make it in a male dominated world in the 1960's and 1970's, to raising an adopted daughter who encountered drug addiction. Barbara also talks candidly about her marriages and her relationship with an African-American politician, as well as her family and her struggles with having a mentally challenging sister. Miss Walters also covers her entire career, from her days as "Today's" co-host (the first woman ever to do that), her move to ABC to become the first female to co-anchor the nightly network news, to "20/20" and "The View". She also discusses candidly her problems with Star Jones and Rosie O'Donnell on "The View" and how she was caught in power struggles between them and the network.
"Audition" is a fascinating read that spent weeks on top of "The New York Times" bestseller's list. Barbara Walters is an icon in the truest sense.
