How I Got This Way di Regis Philbin
I felt some chapters/ people were really well done but the problem (and why he lost 2 stars) is that a lot of them seemed like he felt he had to include them. They seemed very formulated and not as heartfelt as others.
I found this book entertaing, with nice stories about Regis slow rise to the top. A nice read for the summer. Amazing how insecure he seems when to most he is on top of the world. (at least at the time this book was written)
One of my all time favorites! I love looking through it. Cool pictures and good recipes!
Lets start by saying that I really do love Regis and anyone who does will like the book. That said many of the stories he tells (and he is the best at that) you have probably heard or seen live if you are a fan. Also, Regis is the consummate name dropper and he really out does himself in this book. No chapter on Gelman? This book is a series of essays about people who have affected his life. That said, It was good for a Regis fix for those of us who enjoyed his host chats over the years.
