In The Rulebreaker, Susan Page conducts 150 interviews and extensive archival research to discover that Walters was driven to keep herself and her family afloat after her mercurial and famous impresario father attempted suicide. But she never lost the fear of an impending catastrophe, which is what led her to ask for things no woman had ever asked for before, to ignore the rules of misogynistic culture, to outcompete her most ferocious competitors, and to protect her complicated marriages and love life from scrutiny.

An insight into an icon
Revisado: 05-14-24
What a fascinating book. I’m a 2-decade fan and viewer of The View and have always respected Barbara for creating that institution, but acknowledge that I didn’t fully appreciate all that she has contributed to our world. This biography is an epic piece showcasing a long and complicated life.
The one aspect of this book that I found challenging was the awkward time jumps. In one chapter, the author would be talking about a specific topic or milestone in Barbara’s life, talk about something that happened later and may be connected to the larger story, then the next chapter we’d be talking about a potentially different time period. Aside from that it was a great read.

Everybody was rooting for Jonathan Conyers after seeing his profile on Humans of New York went viral and sparked millions in donations to the Brooklyn Debate League. The kid who went from struggling to read to being a breakout star on his high school debate team, thanks to a life-changing friendship with his transgender debate coach, captured the heart of America. Jonathan’s story highlights the important role teachers play in opening up worlds of opportunity for the most vulnerable students.

The best memoir I’ve “read” in years
Revisado: 09-10-23
This book is incredible! Jon narrates his story in a warm and natural way, but most importantly for me, the writing of this story is phenomenal. I already had respect for Jon after reading his story on HONY, and I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with him on several occasions but his book and the obstacles he overcame to become the man he is, is inspiring.
Congratulations on an amazing story! More to come.

One of the most dynamic and globally recognized entertainment forces of our time opens up fully about his life, in a brave and inspiring book that traces his learning curve to a place where outer success, inner happiness, and human connection are aligned. Along the way, Will tells the story in full of one of the most amazing rides through the worlds of music and film that anyone has ever had.

A brilliant memoir

This has to be the best memoir I’ve ever encounter. Wise, funny, vulnerable. And it made me realize how groundbreaking Will Smith is in every way. A brilliant book.
