Book Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most touching books I have read. It tells you everything you always wanted to know about America's favorite Talk Show Hostess. I reccomend this book to any who love The Howard Stern Show and also to those that hate it because it will give you a different perspective.Book Review: Good background Knowledge

I'm a Huge fan of the HS show, and i love Robin. I know this book is out of print, so i was very happy to find it in hardback on Amazon. The book arrived on time, and in great condition. I love Robin, and i love the whole HS show. Perfect Amazon experience.Book Review: I Don't Believe She Wrote It:
Summary: 4 Stars
When I first heard that Robin was penning a book after Howard Stern's success in the publishing trade, I rolled my eyes. It sounded, more than anything, like nothing but a blatant cashing-in... another attempt by somebody with nothing to say and far too many pages to say it... all granted to someone because of fame and not much else.
The truth is, however, that the book is GREAT.
The prose here is really very sophisticated -- a natural rhythm is in place, here -- this is the work of somebody with a very advanced sense of literary flavor. I honestly don't believe that Robin wrote the book, and the reason is that the voice in the prose simply doesn't seem to be hers. Writing talent on this level is a very rare thing -- no question in my mind that this was ghost-written... but that doesn't mean that it should be skipped, however.
The truth is that the book is a narrative masterclass.
Whoever wrote this OWES us another title.
Book Review: Mislead

I purchased this book as a gift under the impression that it was "new" however, I was extremely embarrassed when it arrived at my sister-in-law's home... it was a used library book. Very disappointed.
