Larry takes us there and back again with this great book on his life and journey. This book was long overdue. I had no problems loving every part of this book excluding the part where he brings up the Uncle Don thing. He swears it happened, and that he heard it. While there is plenty of valid proof that this is no more than a myth. Where plenty of people recall hearing it by more than one radio announcer. Maybe age is starting to sink in on Larry afterall. interesting if uninspiring autobiography. i recommend the audiobook version where larry (and friends & family) actually read passages from the book. he's a great storyteller and is very captivating on tape--his sense of humor really comes across. however, if you are looking for juicy tidbits about larry's marriages or personal life, this book won't help you see much in to that side of him; he definitely delves in to his personal life but manages to put a positive spin on everything. the book mostly contains funny and/or crazy events that larry has encountered over his umpteen years in journalism. loved the insight he had in to each of the president's since he's one of only a few people who have been close to each one. the book gave me a newfound appreciation for larry's humility, but didn't leave me with a strong message to take away.
Lots of great stories in the book! Light, entertaining reading
