Опра Уинфри - Биография

Rate this book
Книгата представлява вълнуваща среща с живота на най-влиятелната личност в шоубизнеса според класацията на авторитетното американско списание "Форбс". Тя е първият афроамерикански милиардер в света. Председател е на управителния съвет и главен изпълнителен директор на "Харпо Ентъртеймънт Груп", която продуцира шоуто й, прави филми, програми за най-гледаното време на телевизията, детски програми и домашно видео. Родена е на 29 януари 1954 в малкото градче Косчушко, в един от най-бедните щати на САЩ Мисисипи, а сега живее в Чикаго.

Травмите, болката и страданията я тласкат към духовните търсения от малка и тя преобръща живота си, като помага на милиони да сторят същото. Убежденията й не са се променили, откакто за тема на предаването си "Шоуто на Опра Уинфри" избира песента, в която се казва: "Ще вървя напред, за да видя какъв ще бъде краят".

Living through the life of the one and only Oprah Winfrey. We have heard so much about her through articles, the earlier generation and snippets of her shows. While the book summarises her life in few chapters, it fails to capture the true life through a proper storyline. The book did not do the justice to the great woman in a way I was looking forward to. Nevertheless always fun reading about inspirational people like Oprah.

Literally the worst written book I have ever encountered. Avoid at all costs. The writing and structure are horrendous.

Read any other book on the subject, I can't believe this was published.

This book sucked big time! As i was reading this book I discovered errors, big ones, such as the date of the unfortunate 9/11. The author was writing about Oprah but seemed against her.

I am not a big fan of biographies in general, but this held my attention. Oprah is an interesting woman.

The author spent a lot of time discussing others. Didn't capture my interest and even though it seems well researched but it gives a feeling that it lacks facts replacing them with opinions.
