"Essentially, [this book] is a chatty, slapped-together scrapbook of an extraordinarily successful decade in the life of a profoundly unflappable talk show host who has a knack for getting almost everyone to agree to spend an hour with him on CNN. In the diplomatic manner of a man who wants to continue getting all his calls returned, he avoids the kind of sharp observation that might inflame any of the famous names he drops. Although there is the occasional bit of backstage color, the book sticks so closely to what happens on the show that the narrative relies heavily on snippets of transcripts. Which conspires to make ANYTHING GOES! much more narcotizing than could possibly have been intended.King, Larry is the author of 'Anything Goes What I've Learned from Pundits, Politicians And Presidents' with ISBN 9780446525282 and ISBN 0446525286.
