Summary: Not just Howard Stern's sidekick
Review: In a revealingly personal bio, Robin Quivers offers her life : childhood molestation by her father, her own wanderings trying to find happiness, her role as newswoman/commentator on The Howard Stern Show. The impact is even more impressive, hearing the story in her own words [audio cassette book], which she delivers in a straight-forward manner.
The book itself covers everything from the forementioned abuse right up through to her introduction to Howard and her years with him, including their disagreements.
Robin is much more than a standard sidekick, and her interaction with Howard and the rest of the gang is a vital and integral part of the morning show. Her self-directed insight is evident in the book. Both Howard and Robin (amongst others) have been in or through therapy, and it seems that (for the most part) it has been helpful and corrective in their lives and careers.
Whether you purchase the regular book and/or audio book, you will enjoy delving into "Quivers: A Life"

Summary: Quivers: A good life and book
Review: Robin Quivers, for the few people that don't know, is the talented and beautiful co-host of the very popular "Howard Stern" show. She is sometimes disagreeable and ranting, but often he voice of reason to Howard's madness. In her autobiography, though, she displays the reason for many a crazy outburst. Remember the time when she argued about the necklace that Howard got her do to the fact that Allison bought? I know, she's nutty, but with good reason. The life of Robin Quivers begins humbly as a young lady in Baltimore. Her family life is pretty messed up as she has an unconcerned mother and a child-molesting father. She grows above this and manages to go to college and becomes a nurse in the Air Force. Even getting through her harsh life, everything isn't great for Robin as she bounces from job to job and even goes through a slight drug phase. Guess Jackie wasn't the only one. Finally, Robin gets a kick in the head and seeks a profession as a radio news person where she meets Howard Stern. The rest is radio history.

The book isn't as good a reflection of her personality as seen on the air. She does give a lot of great confessions about her personal life, but with little humor. This is a do over. I mean Robin really did even more living after this book came out, becoming an even bigger and more present on air personality. She should write a book about the current things going on in the show. Remember that time when she talked about learning a certain act by watching a video on it? How about when she got drunk the other week? What about the bathroom sink? And "seeing" Nicole Bass? There are hundred great books in this woman. Somebody play her music.
