Summary: I liked it
Review: A little dry in some places, this is still an interesting book. Robin is an interesting woman who has had an interesting life. The childhood sexual abuse at the hands of her father, her time in the military, and her involvement in transcendental meditation, make for a varied life that explains why Ms. Quivers is the perfect companion for Howard Stern on his daily radio show. She is such an intelligent and clear-minded woman, which is amazing considering what she has come out of. All hail the Queen of All Media!

Summary: Worth the price
Review: A pity this book is out of print. I recently obtained a copy at a local thrift store, and it was more than worth what I paid for it. In many ways Robin Quivers' book is more interesting than Howard Stern's two biographies--her path to the Howard Stern show was not the straight path that Stern himself took. She worked in nursing, she went into the military, and she got involved with Werner Erhard-inspired self-help groups. Her upbringing was in a lower or lower-middle class home where she was subjected to abuse.

Summary: Mmmm... ham-hands...
Review: After hearing Howard Stern play a few snippets from the audiobook edition of co-host Robin Quiver's autobiography on his radio show a little while back, I knew I hadda give the whole shebang a listen. When I finally did take a listen, I was a bit bummed by Robin's unusually unemotional reading of her life's story. Fortunately, the harrowing ordeals and trials she went through in life-- from coping with parental abuse and neglect as a kid, to toughing out a nightmarish stint in the U.S. Air Force, to an enlightening membership in a cult-like outfit, to a rarely-ever-dull working relationship with the man who would be the King of All Media, to battles of will against insufferable coworkers-- were quite compelling, and for the most part took my mind off of her less-than-rousing recitations.
But even though I received a fair amount of enjoyment listening to this audio presentation, I think Robin missed a golden opportunity to make this into one of the funniest audiobooks of all time! I can just see it: Jackie Martling does the reading in his "snooty royalty Robin" voice (along with his "Kingfish" impression as Robin's ham-handed dad), while Fred Norris works the goofy sound effects carts and plays the "Robin's News" theme at just the right moments. Tell me that wouldn't have been a hoot...

Summary: Attention Howard Stern/Robin Quivers fans!
Review: If you are a Howard Stern show fan, and want to hear Robin's side of things, read her book or listen to these tapes. It was great to actually hear Robin tell her story in tape format. She has definately not had an easy road to stardom and this reveals some trials and tribulations she went through to attain and achieve her goals. The story gives you a new outlook on Robin and explains why she is the way she is. A definate must!

Summary: A good, hearty read
Review: If you're a listener of "The Howard Stern Show" and you have wondered why a black woman with obvious intelligence would take the controversial position of being Stern's sidekick, read this book. Quivers delves deep into her soul, reveals her often difficult childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood and leaves you with a picture of someone who emerged from the pain secure and self-assured. But though her soul searching is transferred to paper eloquently and with detail, as a black woman I found myself wondering why, through the years, Quivers has managed to form few, if any lasting relationships with other blacks. Other than a close relationship with a foster brother, as an adult she appears to have bonded solely with whites. If any of Quivers' close alliances are with blacks, they are neither alluded to nor explored in the book. It is, nevertheless, a well-written, personable read, and unravels, at least to some degree, the mystery of Robin Quivers.
