Summary: Wendy Williams is my role model
Review: Wendy Williams is my heroine. That's because she had the gall to put that hot mess of a diva Whitney Houston in her place at that interview. Anyway, this is a really good book that's fun to read while you're waiting to get your hair cut at the barbershop. This book is so hot, it'll burn your fingertips. You go, Wendy!

Summary: Wendy's Heat Is Cold
Review: I have to give it up to Wendy Williams. To be a black woman in the same league as Howard Stern is impressive. However, this book is NOT impressive. First of all, why all the cussing and ghetto talk? What is she trying to prove with by writing like that? Secondly, I think her comments about single parents was too harsh and totally unfair. I do agree with what she is saying, because I am waiting until I get married before I have kids. But I have friends who are single parents and they do a D@MN good job with their kids. She talks alot about self esteem, but in my opinion she lacks it. In fact, her book left me feeling depress. Also, some of the stories felt rushed and not well thought out. And please, don't EVEN get me started on the cover of the book. That was a sign to avoid this book. I should have trusted the sign. Rent this book, but don't buy it.

Summary: Don't Hate!!!!!
Review: I just finished reading Wendy Williams' book last night and the first thing I am doing today is writing this review.This book is indeed hot yall!!! Wendy is letting us know that she is for real, for real even though she has work on her body and her hair is fake. I am not a fan of those things but I have respect for her because she is not fronting. She let us know that she was a coke head, she went through hell and back to have her son and that her husband cheated on her. Some of you everyday women are ashamed to tell someone those private things. Yes you have a choice not too, but don't front like everything is all good when it's not. I did not like that fact that she dissed us single parents or should I say the ones that had children before marriage, hell things happen, but I do understand her point when she lets us know that its better to start a relationship fresh with out the kids because its less baby mama and baby daddy drama, which is so true. I just felt she could have worded that differently. I wanted to read this book just on the strength of me being from New York, Jamaica, Queens that is and I was a listeners of Wendy's when I lived there, but I was kind of apprehensive to read this book because of all the reviews I read here on Amazon, but I'm glad that didn't stop me because I would of missed out on one hell of a book. Wendy's Got The Heat is just a book about a woman that could not be held down in her personal and business life, so don't hate da playa hate da game!!!! Later!!!

Summary: Poorly Written
Review: Wendy hyped this book up on the radio so much that I just couldn't wait to read it. After reading the first paragraph I thought, "what the hell is this?" but I kept reading. She mentioned nothing that she had not already talked about on the radio. She did give further details in regards to her addiction and a deeper insight into her personal life but nothing really juicy!! In addition to content, the story was not put together well AT ALL!! It was a waste of money. I do no recommend buying this one. If you must read it, borrow it.

Summary: Wendy's Got the Heat
Review: I read the book this past week and the book was not all that great. I felt like I was listening to one of her shows except I was reading it. She kept referring to her past drug habit through out the book. I definitely give her props for putting herself out there like that but it seemed like she was just making unnecessary references to her cocaine addiction. The references just seemed out of place in certain chapters. The book could have been better written out. The book seemed like it just dragged on and on. However, I do give her credit for being able to speak on her drug past, infidelity, insecurities, and all that stuff the women experience everyday. The book just wasn't well put together.

Summary: Don't do it
Review: As a person who listened to Wendy during her inital hey days, used her now defuct 1st and 2nd website (there is a 3rd) in all honest I must say this book was HORRIBLE. I was expecting her to get down and dirty in her books like she has done to so many guests on her show. This was pure floss and was just an extension of her current show. I cannot believe how she disrespected everyone by using racial slurs in the introduction. As a avid reader I can say this is a waste of anyone's time. If your interested in a radio career read the introduction and your covered. We all know she's a former addict, and we now know she's delusional to believe her own hype. Cheating husband and she accepted that and want women to think she was strong in doing so to keep her family together. Sorry but she's looks like a women with self esteem issues who was lucky enough to land on her feet. Get it from the library.

Summary: A Story About Wendy's Life
Review: I enjoyed "Wendy's Got The Heat" to a degree. The book would be an especially good read for a woman who is thinking about a career in radio broadcasting because Wendy details her journey to the top. What I didn't like about the book was Wendy's constant discussion of her drug use. It got to be very boring after awhile. The part of the book that I found the most revealing was Wendy's in depth discussion about her struggles to conceive and the tragedies she faced along the road to motherhood. I really could have done without the advice chapter at the end. Wendy was brave to discuss a lot of the things she did about her personal life and marriage. This book is an okay read but it is nothing that you should rush out to get. Don't mistake this book for a celebrity gossip book, this book is basically all about Wendy Williams.

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: I wouldn't waste my money on this book if I was you, you're better off borrowing it from someone else. This book was wack, she mainly talked about her coke habit. She kept repeating things that was already discussed. It was a boring read, the only reason I kept going is because I had to pay for it, matter of fact I want a refund. Wendy if you see this, please stick to radio. I think people bought this book out of curiosity.

Summary: Girl, Please
Review: First off, the cover art is horrendous. If that is in fact, Wendy, she looks better as a DRAG QUEEN. The cover is the first mistake. The second mistake was even writing the book. She is a wannabe celebrity, nobody outside of New York really even cares about her diva-less self. The third mistake was mine for even reading this error-filled pack of garbage. Wendy, do us all a favor and don't ever think about a sequel!!!

Summary: Somewhat entertaining but shallow
Review: I saw this book in my library and picked it up. Count this as a guilty pleasure read. I've listened to Wendy hype this book up so much on her show that my curiousity got the best of me. I wasn't expecting much so I wasn't disappointed. Wendy Williams has always struck me as a study of contradictions... smart and driven but extremely shallow. She's practical but there's not much depth. She's a guilty pleasure representing the worst of our entertainment fixated culture and it's subsequent mean spiritedness. Her book does nothing to change that opinion. Williams recounts her career trajectory as she moves from Boston radio intern to queen of New York radio. In the process, she meets up with some bad romantic mates. She also makes enemies of powerful people in the entertainment industry and is "banished" to Philly. Eventually, she is welcomed back to New York with open arms. I have to give it to Williams. She's not shy about putting her business out there as she does the entertainment people she covers. Williams gives off the essence of a nice middle class girl trying to be "hard" with a ruffneck husband. Still, one gets the feeling there are still issues that need to be resolved especially pertaining to Williams' self-esteem and marriage. Her story about her struggle to have a baby is touching but I lost count on how many times she writes about her physical beauty...methinks the lady doth protest too much. Williams has not been shy about wanting to have her own television show. It will be interesting to see how far this ambition will carry her. Read this book to satisfy your curiousity but don't expect anything deep.
