Here We Go Again: My Life in Television

Class Act

Having delved into 73 books, 10 of which were memoirs or autobiographies, my literary journey reached 74 with Betty White's memoir marking number 11. Reflecting on my exploration of this genre throughout the year, it's been a mixed experience, and Betty White's account falls somewhere in the middle.

At 36, my admiration for Betty White fueled my anticipation for this read. Unveiling aspects of her life previously unknown to me, the book provided insights into her accomplishments pre-Golden Girls. While I relished revisiting familiar anecdotes, the humor I anticipated, given her renowned wit, fell slightly short of expectations. Nevertheless, the book remains a compelling narrative, shedding light on the remarkable journey of a beloved personality.

In essence, Betty White's memoir offers a comprehensive look into her extraordinary life. Despite the humor not reaching its anticipated pinnacle, the book proves to be a worthwhile read. If you're intrigued by a three-hour audiobook and can appreciate a more measured pace, it's certainly worth a try.
