Remarkable Larry King

After reading Larry King's My Remarkable Journey - I can say his journey is truly remarkable.

"Little Larry Zeiger from Brooklyn"also known as "Greek the Mouthpiece" may have interviewed hundreds and thousands of leading personalities throughout his career but the side stories did
not dazzle me. His surviving 8 marriages, kicking a three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, starting over after a financial debacle, and enduring a quintuple by-pass surgery was colorful material however.

King's father died when he was 9 and for years he felt angry that his father left too early. He was then raised by his mother, chased his dream and had several marriages along the way. Around the age of 58 - Larry got a call from his very first wife only to be told he has a son - Larry Jr. There he was, Larry Senior - for years an angry man because his father died too soon, yet he has a son who also might be angry with him because he left. This father and son angle made reading the book really interesting.

The little memoir is full of funny stories - a story of life, of friendships, of families. After all the celebrities interviewed, sometimes the best interview is still the man behind the mike - Larry King.
