Title: A Whole Lotta Wendy
Review: I didn't buy this book expecting War & Peace; I bought it because I used to listen to her show in New York and I was nosy. Sue me.Ms. Williams is an extremely provocative radio personality with a tremendous on air energy and fearlessness and I had hoped to find out in her book how she came to be such a person. I'd also hoped she would provide a Zelig-like look at the evolution of hip hop. This is where the book disappoints. Ms. Williams is heartbreakingly candid, especially on the subjects of her miscarriages, her struggle to have a child and her husband's infidelity, but she offers little insight as to what drove her to excel in radio, other than a strong desire to hide her cocaine addiction and show up to work on time. She seems to have no real opinions about the nature of hip hop and its impact on her career and popular culture. Still, her folksy, breezy writing is like a book version of her show and fans should find it enjoyable.
