Inside flap: Way too long to write! Sorry! Here's a link to it on B&N though.

My mother, a huge fan of The View, happened to have Barbara Walters' memoir Audition in our library, so I decided to read it. Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed it. I started it not knowing much about Ms. Walters, and by the end I had much more respect for her by the end of this memoir. Her childhood recollections were clear and descriptive, and the story of her career inspiring. I was especially interested by the people she's interviewed in her lifetime. Hollywood movie stars, important political figures... She covered all the biggest scandals in the last forty years. While this wasn't an extremely well-written memoir, it was enjoyable and I recommend it if you like The View.
