Audition: A Memoir by Barbara Walters

8/17/08 This was my trip book for my visit to the Grand Canyon with my husband for our anniversary. There is no direct shot to the Grand Canyon, so we flew into and out of Phoenix and drove to the Grand Canyon on another day. Needless to say, I had lots of time to read!

I found Barbara Walters to be a fascinating person before reading the book, and even more so after. She is a strong woman and has had a difficult life, so I consider her a good role model. The book basically tells of her life childhood to present day. There is lots of great historical content and many interesting black and white photos of Barbara with some of the famous people she has had the chance to meet.

I did find the memoir format to be a bit draggy - you already know how the book ends!
