A review by sadietay
Going There by Katie Couric
3.0
3.5 (loved the book despite some dislikes)
This was a great audiobook! I loved hearing it in Katie’s voice. She dives deep into nearly every aspect of her life. Great honesty and very thorough (though at times too long). The overlaps of stories in history that she reported on in TV brought a really cool element to the book. I love how she captured how times have changed and continue to change.
It felt like more of a “report” of her life than a book getting to know her. For example, her story about the housekeeper was riveting, but it felt like a news story! We heard everything that happened in that situation thoroughly, but not what that did to her, how she experienced it, and how that’s shaped her moving forward.
