I always had a great respect for Dana Perino even when she was with President Bush.  I'm so happy she wrote this book for a lot of reasons but one of the best reasons, as I see it, is her portrayal of the president while in office.  Unfortunately, a lot of people won't read this book because of their political affiliation and won't be informed of the true character and honesty of both she and the former president.

I could write a book myself on this subject if I had the expertise, which I don't.  However, again I repeat, one of the best non-fiction books I have ever read.

So nice to hear a positive message.  Thoroughly enjoyed this book.  Fair and thoughtful insight as always.  Dana Perino is the main reason why I watch the Five.

Respect is Oren Demetris story and it was great.  As with all Aleatha Romig stories, this story was captivating from the beginning.  You see Orens love and devotion for Angelina throughout, although not always in the ways he wants to give it to her.  Mafia ties abound in this book, and Oren as well as Angelina do all they can to keep their son, Lennox, out of the family business.  But in the process of juggling family business, it chips away at Oren and his marriage to Angelina.  I loved the dynamic of this relationship.  They were passionate in their love for each other, and even though their marriage suffered from the family business side of things, as well as Orens drive to provide for his family, their love for each other was always present.  This truly was a tragic love story, but a great one all the same.  Having read the Infidelity series, it was nice to see where Oren came from.  That doesnt mean you need to read the series to read this book.  But after reading Respect, you may want to read the Infidelity series just to see where Oren goes and how he is always looking out for his son.  Either way Respect is not to be missed.  Its a well written story with dynamic characters that captivate from beginning to end.

A great bio of both  women. It made me appreciate RBG even more and lowered my opinion of SDO. I was impressed with the tenacity of both women who truly broke ground by going to high caliber law schools  way before it was "accepted"  for women to do so. They were and are true trail breakers and role models.

Dana is a person I would like to get to know.  She has her morals in place and is not afraid to demonstrate them.  I watch her on The Five daily and feel like I know her a little better now.

Daddy's Little Bitch is a great read , it take a lot for someone to write about they life. Semiah opened up and let everyone in to her past, as i was reading i felt her pain like if i was the one going though it. I cried laughed and cried some more, Semiah if your reading this you are a strong women to go though what u went though and still stand with your head high. Keep up the good work and i'm lookiing forward to reading more of your work.

I liked his determination and feelings for her. I can see her need to protect herself, but the bravery to try to stand on her own and yet the wisdom to change when needed.

I really enjoyed reading "The Company She Keeps" for a variety of reasons. Though I never knew Ms. Durante personally I am from her home town!  I knew of many of the people in the book though I didn't live there during much of the timeline. I can say this--her description of the town  itself is right on.  I was also  fascinated by the rules in a world few  people know.  I thought Ms. Durante created a vehicle in which the reader  could truly experience what it is like to live in this world.
I am an  actress by trade and have had the good fortune to play a character on the  acclaimed HBO series "The Supranos."  I used Ms. Durante's book  as a character study for my work on The Supranos as well as other mob  characters I have played. She made it easy for me to understand the  behavior of women involved in this world.  As an actress that is a valuable  tool.  The picture she painted was exciting, frightening and romantic all  at once.
I was also very impressed by the author's candid confession of  her own mistakes--without blaming anyone for her choices or circumstances.
Eventually, her own redemption gives hope to women in any situation.  Thank you Ms. Durante!

I chose this book 2 months before it was released because I respect the honest news reporting that Dana Parino gives us daily and with her positive attitude too. It should be a must read for high school and college students. It will help them design their future. The rest of us can read it to help our own attitudes and outlooks.

A very good read of courage and perseverance, love, faith, and family. I wanted to read this book because of my life being touched by MS. I was a CNA in the 60's and had 2 patients w/MS. Then in the 80's a neighbor who had it. I was on her list of people to call to check on her. This book taught me more what day to day was like for the whole family not just the spouse and children but extended family. Gen was an inspiration to me in viewing my challenges w/a much more open mind.

Thank you for showing the struggles of a woman who didn't give up. My dad was a paraplegic for 40 yrs and he always said, " there is always someone worse off than you."

After reading this book, her husband's second book, and finally her second memoir, I did have a profound respect for her dignity, love for her family, and stamina.  This book was an easy read and was absolutely fascinating to go along on exotic trips and learning about the side kick's day to day existence as wife to President.  The book made me admire the Bush's as a couple more, the love for their kids and each other, and their principles, even if I did not agree with all of the latter.

I was deeply touched by WHAT HAPPENED. I love Hillary's voice: she was frank, intelligent and open about her perceptions and feelings. But this book went beyond what she felt and thought to how she could inspire, inform and assist. She has to soul of a leader and even having lost the election, she's doing great work sharing her voice with others. I especially admire that she doesn't give up. Several times she used quotes that I've jotted down, before reading her book,  because they felt important and meaningful and to know that they also were special to her too was amazing. I felt like I was sitting down with Hillary: that she is someone I would really enjoy having as a mentor/friend/teacher.

Politics aside--I highly recommend this book for its positive message of community, activism, love, hope and kindness for our fellow humans. Hillary gets into what really matters. I'm so thankful that she worked so hard all these years fighting the good fight.

Reading this book has brought back times in my life that I felt rejected. I feel the pain the author has had.  I am proud to say that she has overcome quite a lot and is very strong now.  Janice is a dedicated teacher and person and that comes from her strong believes in Our Lord.  I have known this woman from the day she was born and her outlook on life  has always and I mean always been the friendliest and warmest toward mankind.  No matter how well you think you know someone there are always times when you haven't a clue how deep the hurts are that they suffer.  Janice  this is a job well done.  Hopefully you will continue writing.  I am a big fan of yours.

I read "Living History" and enjoyed it immensely.  I've always admired Hillary Clinton, and after reading this book I admire her even more.  The book is very well written and quite personal.  I read a few of the bad reviews here by people who obviously hate her.  It always tickles me that people who hate her spend so much time giving her attention.  If you don't like Hillary then why did you spend time reading her book?  Anyway, Hillary is an extraordinary women, and unfortunately smart, strong, extraordinary women are still despised by many in this society, including other women.  I'm glad that Hillary is a NY Senator and when she decides to run for President she has my vote.

I've always admired Robert Wagner. I saw him on GMA and immediately ordered his book. After reading his memoir I felt even more that he is a wonderful human being. His love for family and friends was always more important than 'the business'.  Thank you, Mr. Wagner for sharing your personal life with us.

I always loved watching Sherri Martel as a Manager, now I'm glad to say that I know she was as nice in real life as she looked on TV, & She was very respectful of Male Wrestlers Wives because before she would Manage a Wrestler who was Married, she always went talk their Wife & let them know that she wasn't going to do anything but be there Manager, in other words, She always let them know that whatever she did was going to be Professional, & it was great hearing her talk about her real life Friendship with Robert Parker, & how years before they did a "Love" Storyline, which by the way was Funny, not Dirty, they were close Friends & lived  in the same Apartment Complex, & they would always visit each other, & just like Robert Fuller, she doesn't have anything bad to say about anybody, that's the best part of this Shoot Interview, no harsh criticism.
