TITLE: Larry King My Remarkable Journey
AUTHOR: Larry King
GENRE: Memoir
RATING: 3 Stars
For some reason, I got on the Larry King memoirs bandwagon. I say this because I am not a Larry King fan. Everytime I watch him, I think "shut up and let your guest answer the question" - which is something I actually think about when I watch Oprah - who frequently asks a questions and then goes on and on about answering it - leaving very little time for the guests to speak up.
I also think that Larry King is kind of boring - both physically and professionally speaking - so I am not certain why I actually got this book - except to say that I seem to have gotten on the bandwagon.
Having said this, his book actually does a fair job of talking about his life, starting with his life before he became an interviewer and, of course, focuses alot on his current life.
I was amazed at the amount of women he has had in his life (gotta ask myself why?) but I do have to admit that he was actually more interesting in his memoir than I thought he would be. He was also extremely candid which was a big plus for me - especially when he talks about the son that he never knew existed until much later in his life.
This book is actually pretty good as far as memoirs goes.
