OPRAH A Biography

OPRAH is an unauthorized biography by one of the most widely read pop biographers of our era. Kitty Kelley conducted more than 800 interviews during four years of research on her subject. Kelley walks us through Oprah Winfrey’s life—from her humble beginnings to her rise in TV and her bad choices surrounding men, drugs, and an unyielding food addiction, as well as her relationships with partner Steadman and BFF Gail. As the author’s voice brims with remarkable self-assurance and abundant sarcasm, her delivery has a steady rhythm and a good level of energy. While this highly critical book may surprise people, it most certainly won’t be one of Oprah’s favorite things. B.C.E. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2010]
