I'm not sure whether to recommend this book or not. I liked it and hated it at the same time. I love Betty White and was interested in her life and what she had to say. I was disappointed that she didn't talk more about her deceased husband, because I remember their game show times together. She barely talked about him, which is where I guess my disappointment comes in. The chapters are very short and therefore the book is an easy, fast read. I had also hoped to hear more about the other stars of the Golden Girls (all deceased except for Betty) and there isn't as much of that in the book either. I don't think Betty is the type to dish dirt on former co-stars, but I would have liked more info. Still, if you're a Betty White fan, the read is probably worth it. If you're a big animal lover, it's probably worth the read. There are pictures at the beginning of almost every chapter, and even though most don't correlate to the chapters at all, it helps to keep interest. I still love Betty White!
