Connie's one lucky lady

Let's face it, this guy is a humanitarian. I have been watching his television show for years and can't tell you how many times I have been brought to tears. He has helped so many unfortunate young ladies find the fathers of their babies. Just watch when they get so upset, he is there with a hug and tender words. Maury has also helped me come to terms with my prejudices with people with physical deformities. If I hadn't watched his show, I'm not sure I still wouldn't make comments when I saw someone different from me. It's good that I can watch his show so I don't stare at those people on the street. I guess I never thought they had feelings like me before. This book mostly focuses on Maury's early career. I guess I didn't even know what news was until I started watching a "Current Affair." If you feel like you want more Maury when his show ends every day...GET THIS BOOK NOW! It will fill your need for a man that cares about US!

Maury Povich is very smart and witty-he kept my attention.

The book is an autobiography, however it was also a little-how to put it-true crime like, he being a news journalist, one might exspect that. The style of writing seems to be that of someone who is very good at speaking out loud. He also had this habit of jumping from subject to subject-which I very much enjoyed-he was quick-but thourough. Something that I always enjoyed about Maury Povich is his humour. Hes quite witty-and you call tell that in the book. All in all-I found it interesting-and it kept my attention-it was good. And remember-Maury Povich is a fox!
