the newest number one book

By Vick Mickunas | Wednesday, May 7, 2008, 09:31 PM

AUDITION, the new memoir by Barbara Walters came out this week. Published by Knopf, AUDITION instantly vaulted into the #1 spot at Amazon.com with a perfectly timed push from Oprah Winfrey. Walters appeared on Oprah’s program and they talked about that big skeleton in Barbara’s closet, her affair with a US Senator.

Walters, the queen of network television, reflected on her 44 years in the business. She also shares some amazing aspects of her private life in this book. Read my review this Sunday in the Dayton Daily News.
