  1. Carolyn Bongiorno from Glenham, NY, United States writes: What was scandalous is that Ms. Walters knowingly entered into an affair with a married senator, not that he was Afro-American.

    The man in question has since divorced and remarried, and his name is barely recognized. I'm not sure why Ms. Walters thought this personal matter is newsworthy. At an initial printing of 675,000 they may have to give this tome away.
  2. Albin Forone from Canada writes: My email application has a one-click control "mark all as read." That's it for this book. Nobody needs to read something that will congratulate them for knowing what they already know.
  3. 5and man from Toronto, Canada writes: She's such a hypocrite.
    To make matters worse, she promotes the book on Oprah -- that's two hypocrites.

    WHY is she famous?
  4. Chuck the Canuk from the east, Canada writes: This is art???? hahahahaha. Who cares what the old hag has ever done. And the screaming headline "The face that launched a thousand tears". What the heck is that supposed to do to readers? I would say more like the face that made 1000 guys hurl their cookies. Woof woof.
  5. Derick McLaughlin from London ON, Canada writes: Unburkered Barb Walters may indeed be a faded product of her life, sad childhood & &"beastly" media adversarial environment - but be grateful chaps she's on our side. There's a WAR on, - remember ?
  6. S W from Canada, Canada writes: I blame the publisher. Slow literary year, or what?
  7. tommy j from toronto, Canada writes: "the beast that ate the culture" is a metaphor, not an analogy.
