The Rulebreaker: The Life and Times of Barbara Walters

This is such a well written and interesting book. The author does an excellent job of explaining the significance of the many achievements of this groundbreaking journalist. I found this fascinating from cover to cover and will be recommending it to others as a must read.

I had read Barbara’s biography several years ago. I read so many books that I didn’t remember a whole lot about it. This was a nice refresher and told from so many who knew Barbara. I loved their perspective on what they observed about her. This was part bio, part history and I love history. I highly recommend it.

A life story with information you probably did not know. It traces her tenacious moves up the ladder despite her difficulty pronouncing the letter 'r'. Such a fascinating read and so well-written!

Page unearthed the truth about this American icon and trailblazer. Walter’s personal life was incredibly accurate and applicable to the challenges she faced during her career. The bio shows us how really incredible this human being really was. I found it personally informative and superbly written.

Susan Page is a very good author. I loved her book on Barbara Bush. A good read. This book, not so much.Maybe it's the subject. Barbara Walters life. Not too exciting, kind of depressing. Disappointed in the book.

Interesting book about Barbara Walters does make you wonder if we really can have it all! She did live a life we all admire and desire but like so many such a sad ending. Good read full of interesting people.

I feel like I really got to know Barbara Walter’s, the human being. She had an incredible career, had an incredible number of achievements, and had challenges she faced and some she never reconciled. Well worth reading.

Having lived through the Walter Cronkite/Dan Rather era of TV news, I thought I knew a lot about Barbara Walters too. But no! It turns out she lived a much more complex life, with a stressful childhood and difficult path to success and had more romantic relationships than I had imagined. I could not put this book down and by the end, I had developed a greater respect for this trailblazing writer, producer, broadcaster and TV host and a keener understanding of the challenges faced by female journalists in those decades.

Just started the book !
