Audition: A Memoir

After reading this book, there is so much more to Barabara than just the talk shows she has done over the years. This bring her up front and personable. Almost like the View and all the other jobs she has had. Barbara is a woman ahead of her time. She is to be congratulated.

BW drives me up the wall every damn time she plugs this freakin' book on the View. If it's not her, then it's Whoopi or Elisabeth. As much as it pisses me off, this book is worth a read. Of course the chapter covering the Star and Rosie controversies is here, but that's just the icing on the cake. I learned alot of things about Babs I never knew before, like her complicated but loving relationships with her mentally challenged sister and adopted daughter and all of her marriages. All 4 of them. The chapters about her many specials and interviews over the years are especially interesting. I was very surprised that BW "let her hair down" so to speak and revealed things like her interracial affair. So Miss BW isn't as squeaky clean as we thought, huh? I guess there's nothing more I can say that hasn't been said already. Pick it up!

I wish I could tell Barbara myself how much I liked her book. It sounds like she is sitting right there telling her memoir. Good read.

Got this for my wife as an anniversary present, and she really loves it...

but the neighbors say to be careful because the suction cup that holds it is an invite to criminals

This is my second copy purchased. GREAT, warm book....like curling up with your fav quilt and having a cup of tea. I got the first to give as a gift and got so many raves from the recipient I decided to get a copy for myself. LOVED IT
