Book Reviews of Katie: The Real Story
Book Review: The Double Standard Is Alive & Thriving
Summary: 1 Stars
Immediately upon finishing this book I had two very strong reactions: 1) I was ashamed that I had bought it; 2) That the double standard is alive and thriving in the world of television news.
Why is it that some men are threatened by strong, smart and successful women? And why-----when faced with such "threats"-----do they resort to cheap shots and tabloid gossip?
Why is it important that the world knows that Katie wasn't crazy about her husband and that her marriage was on the rocks. Is that headline news? And why is Katie being lambasted because she worked so tirelessly towards achieving her goals?
I am infuriated that her daughters will have to hear about these things.
I am mad at myself for buying this book.
I would love to pose this question to Mr. Klein: Would you have written a similar book about a male television news anchor?
I think the answer is obvious.
Double standard, double
Book Review: Very interesting, fast paced read.
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this to be a very compelling story about a tireless and ruthless career woman. I suppose there is nothing wrong with that, although ultimately it is a good study in how lonely life can be when one puts one's career above all else.
This is a fast and easy read.
Book Review: a blithering idiot
Summary: 1 Stars
Hey, if you're a blithering idiot, then, that's what you are. So. Why are you attempting to write a book?
Sheesh!

Summary: 5 Stars
Thanks Ed for telling the what journalism is all about. I wonder if the negative reviewers even bothered to read your book. Perhaps they protest too much!! All your books are fabulous,and it's obvious that you do lots of research and homework. You ought to write one about Oprah next. Keep up the wonderful work!!! I love it when writers rip off the fake veils around these famous and infamous people who come across as being something they are not. Finally the truth about 'perfect, perky Katie.'
