This is a work of fiction pure and simple. I might have believed some of the things that Miss Kelley had to say about Oprah, but she took Oprah to task quite heavy handedly for not checking sources and backgrounds on some of her guests, but in the book, Miss Kelley referred to a town in Mississippi by the name of "Centobia", there is no such town, the town she referred to is "Senatobia", with the incorrect spelling, it made a different word entirely. I have an extremely hard time believing the book when such an error has been made. The book is slightly entertaining, but I believe she portrays Oprahs 'power" more than it is with a lot of detail to her vengeful manner of dealing with perceived enemies. For fiction, great, for truth, look somewhere else.
There was nothing in this book that made you stop and say, "WOW, I did not know that." Throughout the book, Kelly tried to covey that Oprah was self-involved, not the person you saw on TV and anything else her ungrateful relatives could say about her. She raised the issue of her sexuality over and over. The bottom line for me was "Who cares? ". I am not the same person at work that I am at home. Most people who do great things in this world have to believe that they are capable of changing the world and are self-involved. I read alot of sour grapes from people, especially her jealous relatives which is sad. On one hand, they talked about how much she has done for them and others. They next minute they are bashing her including her Father. She is damned if she does and damned if she doesn't . Kelly states that he is not her father. Big Deal, he claimed her and no one held a gun to his head. She has paid him back 10 fold. I admire Oprah for what she has accomplished in this world. She is not perfect but who is?Read full review
The book was well written & researched. I thought it was truthful & not biased in any way. Oprah has led a very interesting life!
