Great book that is timeless

February 27, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Women will love this book because, to some extent, you've probably had these sorts of types of at work experiences. Everyone will love this book because it's a great read - smart, funny, entertaining, meaningful. I've been buying this book for others since reading it for the first time back in the 1980's and it is still just a terrific. Thanks, Linda!

Wise and witty

July 17, 2004

Format: Hardcover

I've probably read this book a dozen times from cover to dog-eared cover; my paperback copy is literally falling apart! I still open it sometimes just to read a couple of pages from the middle, and I'm always entertained by Ellerbee's wit.

Wit: a combination of rational intelligence and humour. Ellerbee displays both in abundance, and her writing style is pitch-perfect. She's worked in network news long enough to have seen all of it's strength and weaknesses, and long enough to have lived through one-too-many comical misadventures. Some of her anectodal experiences are downright hilarious:
Stealing Reagan's golf cart for a joyride. Spying on a button manufacturer from a rooftop across the street (to learn before the competing networks who'll be chosen vice president for a presidential campaign). Getting unintentionally stuck in the middle of a homecoming parade for the Iran hostages. Using dinner trays to "surf" down the aisle of a flying airplane. A rubber duck on the set. A "thing and a thing." And so it goes...
There are also some suprising revelations, such as Ellerbee's confession to a back-alley abortion, and her discovery that Ohio didn't become a state until 1954!
Read this book and be entertained... and simoultaneously enlightened about the field of broadcast journalism.

Long live Linda Ellberbee

November 10, 2013

Format: Mass Market Paperback

Funniest book I have ever read. If I am down this is my 'go to' book. My life is not that bad, 'Dance on the roof, wake the people below'. Life is not meant to be taken literally, be good to others, be humble when needed, notice when the s*** hits the fan. Make sure the charter flight has an open bar! The moon is a balloon, the full moon is yours for the taking. Say I love you often, it's never enough.

My name is Ivan Miller, John Wagner was my partner for 13 years. He had a heart attack on the 4th of July 2012, and I lost him forever. He will always live and love in my heart.

A biting and hilarious look at the 'real' world of TV news

January 27, 1998

Format: Mass Market Paperback

Linda Ellerbee is the Queen of Hard Knocks, but she always comes up wiser -- and funnier. "And So It Goes" is a sharp and brutally honest look at the world of TV news. Ellerbee shares behind-the-scenes tales that will leave you shaking your head in disbelief, and catching your breath in uproarious laughter. Ellerbee is engaging, lively, provocative and above all else, frightening. NBC fired her months after the book was originally published, probably in no small part to the toes that Ellerbee stepped on in this book. Read it to see why.I teach journalism, and to this day, I still recommend this to my friends. I can also honestly say that this is probably my favorite book of all time. It's that good.

Simply Wonderful

April 3, 2002

Format: Hardcover

There can be few things more enriching, entertaining, and inspiring than merrily wending one's way through the fascinating memoirs of this legendary journalist. Ms. Ellerbee can now be seen on her marvelous news program for children on Nickelodeon, which is one of the greatest programs in the history of television. Ms. Ellerbee's thrilling story is sure to deeply touch all who read it, evoking both tears and laughter, often simultaneously. This is one of the greatest books in the history of the world, and should be on every required reading list in every institution of learning in the world.
