True to the title, Katie did go there and there and there. I was taken back several times not in how much she shared but how much she shared about other people in a negative limelight. While Katie was anchoring the Today show, I was home with my kiddos. I did watch her nearly every morning and one morning in particular will always stand out for me, September 11. This book reflected a lot of the news events Over the last 25 years or so. I found myself putting together a timeline in my head of all the events. Did I enjoy? Not as fully as I thought I would.

I really enjoyed this audiobook. It was long - but it never felt like it was too much.

Going There is an apt title for the autobiography of Katie Couric because she doesn’t hold anything back. It’s fun to celebrate the highs of her life and hard to wade through the lows. Her life has been incredibly interesting and dynamic. But my main takeaway from this book is that she is kind of a snob in how she talks about people. She sounds like a loving mom, daughter and friend, but also very judgmental too. It’s hard when someone you grew up admiring (I was a broadcast journalism major for awhile in college, in large part due to her influence) for their warmth, philanthropy and humor turns out to be kind of mean in her assessments of things. I still have deep respect for her career and how she handled the various tragedies in her life, but also feel a little disenchanted with her too. Regardless, this was an interesting memoir of a full life of incredible experiences and worth reading to see how the news industry has changed alongside Katie over the course of her career.
