Review # 1 was written on 2015-01-10 00:00:00 Christopher Obrien A news & current affairs reporter, Rob Harley recounts 10 of his most memorable assignments covering the odd, different, and amazing dramas of life. above all stands out the determination to live and survive all, despite opposing evidence and difficult circumstances. What I found really interesting was his honest appraisal of the "public's 'need to know', weighed against the privacy and respect of victims, political use of the media and the journalist's job. This can also be made more difficult where crime is involved and the police's need to often with-hold information and identities. Although some of the stories are based in his home country of New Zealand, we also 'visit' India, New York and Germany. A thought-provoking but easy read.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-11-15 00:00:00 Ernesto Herrera Okay here goes a really harsh review... I did not understand the purpose of this one-year experiment. After finishing the book, I did not gain any insights into anything. At least Oprah wants viewers to have a better life etc. What was this book for us readers? What am I to get out of this reading experience? The author just went through all the advice from Oprah without giving much thought to the purpose of each advice. She would kiss her husband for ten seconds because she was told to. Without even trying, I could have told her that it would be useless because she didn't seem to understand why she was doing it. She wasn't trying to improve her life or her marriage. She was just going through motions. It was sometimes unpleasant to read because she wasn't enjoying "Living Oprah," and neither was I as a reader. What a waste of a year. And what a waste of my time reading this book. Worst of it all, it wasn't even funny. It didn't flow nor make sense at a time. My advice: don't read it. If you are still curious, read the last chapter and be done with it.
