Going There by Katie Couric
4.0

Whew! Ninety-nine chapters completed! For the effort Katie put forth in her memoir, she deserves to receive at least three stars. For the effort I put in for ninety-nine chapters, I deserve to keep one of those stars for myself. I settled on four!

Katie is both a smart and an exceptional journalist. She also discloses more information than I needed to read. If the reader wants salacious details, this is a good read. If someone wants serious perspectives on news, this is a good read. I’m just not certain we should be reading the two in the same book. Am I glad I invested the time? Yes. Will I be quoting it in my classes? Probably not.

On a good note, I do love that Katie reminds the reader to be thankful for the opportunity to age. On this point, she is wise!
