Book Review: The IT Book of the YEAR! A True Gossip Goodie!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Wendy William's Experience: Queen of Diva
Reviewed by Heather Covington
A YOUnity Reviewers Book club
Wendy Williams has returned without warning to seer through the popularity of 72 Hour Hold by Bebe Moore Campbell, The Interruption of Everything by Terry McMillan and Confessions of a Video Vixen by Karrine Stefans with her latest, The Wendy William's Experience: Queen of Radio.
It is a "CELEBRITY GOSSIP- PACKED" book from a self-made multi-media celebrity icon in the radio industry whose on air personality may have evolved to form a brand of talk show radio all her own, quite historical, bold and necessary.
In her 2nd book, she's bringing candid issues to the forefront as a voice of "the people," along with relationship tips for the ladies who look up to Wendy as a big sister. Wendy talks about everybody. Wherever you are in Celebrity-ville, it seems like Wendy has found you.
Based on her prior book, it seems like many radio hosts would like to take her place, but the reigning and pioneering "Shock Gossip Diva" who holds down some of the most charismatic and memorable one-to-one celebrity interviews that everyone seems to be tuning in to listen to lately reflects on the necessity of her national radio show for developing celebrity careers and validates the fact, "It's better to be in the news, than not in the news at all" in her latest.
Despite some of the vehement backlash on the air from top celebrities during her radio interviews featured in the book, Wendy Williams doesn't seem to be the one throwing the verbal punches if you read every single interview transcript in her book. She's survived some serious whiplash from divas like Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston as caught word-for-word in her tell-all book.
She asks those honest questions that may evoke hostility and anger in guests for some reason who can't seem to bare Wendy's Heat. Her interviews seem to give a voice to concerns and rumors circulating among the off air majority of listeners. In other words, she's giving people what they want, keeping a Black owned radio station at the top and even adds that "Girly girl" flair to her persona as a fashion savvy lady which spells success, longevity and a loyal fan base that won't quit.
I would personally recommend her raw and cutting edge tell-all gossip book, "The Wendy Williams Experience," the IT book of the year. If celebrities are fearful of what she may say about them on her radio program, they should be racing to the bookstore to read every name- dropping detail and popular morsel of gossip that graces one of the most controversial books of the year only because it unleashes news on the most controversial celebrities.
Between the interviews on some of the hottest stars to grace tabloids, Wendy's open reflections on who may lead an alternative lifestyle in celebrity-ville to whose baby's daddy ain't paying child support, and which natural mamas are perpetrating leading a peaceful life to who isn't shining because they don't have any gossip or controversy to them lure readers in.
Her shock style is contagious, and most folks who read her latest, just won't be able to put her page-turning gossip bible down. It would be impossible to hold down a book of this caliber without writing expertise. Her work reads like a diary or open book journal that is more than noteworthy and to be commended. She is also very careful in some situations and responsible. Whew! Overall, the Wendy William's Experience is a well written book, entertaining, truthful, and one of Wendy's best literary works. My only suggestion is that she develop another book that further expounds on relationship tips in the future. Maybe she could call it, The Wendy William's Relationship Handbook
RATING: 5 OUT OF 5 STARS
Final reflections: Don't by a Dirty BackPack and never ever act like a Negrodian. These are memorable and original terms I applaud Wendy for coining.
