Title: Lively Reading
Review: This book was a great read! As a long time UPI correspondent on the political stage, Helen Thomas has some stories to tell and she tells them well, in a positive and upbeat way. Yes, there was some 'jumping around' in the book - the events and antedotes Helen Thomas describes aren't written up in strict chronological order - but she can certainly turn an apt phrase and does so often in this book. I thought she portrayed the events and people in her life in a mature, insightful and entertaining way, without petty or grumbling judgements. She's upfront and proud of being a hard-eyed reporter out to get the facts - but notes in her book that quite a few of those individuals who fall under her scrutiny don't hold it against her. After reading this book, you'll know why.
