RaveThe Los Angeles TimesThere is no relentless people-pleasing in her fearlessly frank memoir, a wildly entertaining and often emotional ride through the volatile media landscape of the last 40 years in which no subject is off limits ...Despite early reports, Couric doesn’t really go over the top in her critiques of former colleagues at NBC. The brunt of her barbs are aimed at CBS. If you’re a producer or executive who worked with her there and don’t see your name in the index of Going There, consider yourself extremely fortunate ... Couric also provides a deftly written tick-tock on her reaction to the downfall of her longtime co-anchor Matt Lauer.
