Betty White disperses communication and anecdotes in her novel - anywhere from her success to her pets to aging in Hollywood.

I absolutely adored this novel - Betty is hilarious and an absolute doll through and through.

I loved her attitude when she talks about animals and why they are so important to her life.

Animals don't lie. Animals don't criticize. If animals have moody days, they handle them better than humans practice.
In addition, I really enjoyed how Betty talks about getting older and loving information technology.
And then you may non be as fast on your anxiety, and the image in your mirror may be a little disappointing, simply if you are even so operation and not in pain, gratitude should be the name of the game.
If I could be one-half the woman Betty White when I get to her age...

Back in the sixties, there was a man on our cake who worked at a television studio every bit a stage hand. He once told me that there was a lot of dead time during the shootings while he waited to modify the sets. The guys would go over to the studio where they were filming the TV game prove Password. The attraction: watching Betty White cuss and swear between takes. He told me, "She really has a mouth on her but she is so sweet and funny it's hilarious."

When a friend loaned me this volume, I thought information technology was an autobiography. But she already wrote 5 of those. If Y'all Ask Me is more of a reflection on various aspects in her life, noticeably the concluding fifteen years. It'southward a very fast read. I finished it in one morning. But it impressed me because information technology confirmed how I envisioned the 89 yr old extra. Sweet, funny and totally down to earth. The closest thing to raunchiness is when a reporter asked her if at that place was anything in life she wanted to do and she answered, "Robert Redford." Redford responded to her with a poem which she refuses to share with u.s.a.. Most of her reflections are only good advice on how to live a satisfying life which is always prissy to hear. If You Ask Me was a nice way to spend a forenoon with a personality whose greatest talent is that she was simply ever in that location.

Betty White is timeless, highly-seasoned to all generations. She was a apprehensive, grateful, down-to-globe, classy woman, genuine in her communication, and always maintaining a positive outlook. I enjoyed learning more than about her personality and interests, and wish I could have known her. Conversations with such an upbeat, personable, and interesting person would have flowed naturally and readily, and would have left me cheered, tickled, and gratified.

Betty even prefers the company of animals to people! ( Me also girlfriend, me besides!)

She urges us all to live in the moment; the now. Everyone can rest assure that she fabricated every second count! She learned the difficult fashion in watching her male parent pass away at a mere 64.5 when he had so many plans in tail for when he retired at 65.

So we shouldn't be mourning her but instead celebrating that she made the most of her almost 100 years here. You tin bet your bottom dollar that she was welcomed at the pearly gates by Then MANY family unit & friends but not earlier being reunited with her furballs.

I listened to this lilliputian volume today while I was cleaning my firm and found it to be very entertaining and even sweet.

That's why she tells us virtually some of her friends and co-workers, experiences in the prove business concern, her animals. Basically, just was life has been similar for her these past years.

I take loved Betty White since I used to picket her and the wonderful ensemble of ladies on The Golden Girls when I was just a kid. Her character Rose was always my favourite because she was so naive and sweet (and funny, obviously) but there was a lot more to her than initially met the eye.
In these past couple of years, Betty White seems to have become some sort of icon and if yous take seen interviews with her, you know she is a delight. This woman is hilariously funny, quick-witted, and has impeccable comedic timing. She is also a groovy animal lover, and all in all seems like a genuinely nice person, who works hard only makes it look easy, doesn't take any nonsense, and is very down-to-earth.

So, summing upwards: I like Betty White, I liked this book only it actually was very short and didn't have a lot of "content" and so to say. I estimate I'll have to pick up one of her other five or half-dozen books if I want more than Betty. ;)

Favorite Passages:

GROWING OLDER
It's not a surprise, we knew information technology was coming - make the virtually of information technology. And so y'all may non be as fast on your feet, and the epitome in your mirror may be a little disappointing, simply if you are still functioning and not in hurting, gratitude should be the name of the game.
_______

There is even a funny side to crumbling, if one has a warped sense of humor. If one has no sense of humor, 1 is in trouble.

ON REFLECTION
In prove business, the mirror obviously plays a big function in one'south life, but early on - long before I started working - my beloved mother taught me another role the mirror plays. I can still hear her:
"Bets, y'all can lie to anyone in the world and fifty-fifty get abroad with it, perhaps, simply when you are alone and look into your ain eyes in the mirror, yous can't sidestep the truth. Always be certain y'all can meet those eyes directly. Otherwise, it'due south big trouble, my girl."

HEALTH
As for my hair, I have no idea what color it really is, and I never intend to find out.
______

But in the end, the energy is also very much due to enjoying what I am so lucky to do for a living. Show concern. If all this sounds as well "Trivial Mary Sunshine," please put up with me while I celebrate information technology.
______

Can yous blame me? Animals don't prevarication. Animals don't criticize. If animals have moody days, they handle them better than humans exercise.

HUMOR
For me, humor is about rhythm. It'southward like an ear for music.

ENTHUSIASM
I think everybody needs a passion. Whether it's one passion or a hundred, that's what keeps life interesting. If y'all live without passion, you can go through life without leaving any footprints. You lot might leave behind pleasant memories in the minds of friends and acquaintances, only those misemploy quickly.
You ofttimes hear about people who tin't wait to retire. When they're sixty-five years old - that'south when they'll start to live. And I think it'southward so deplorable!

HOT IN CLEVELAND
60-three years in this business organisation and I nonetheless find information technology hard to refuse a job offer. That could be a hangover from the early days when jobs were difficult to come past and I always thought each one might exist my last.

Writer'S BLOCK
. . . I am strange for stationary stores. Not for the fancy writing paper - it's those tablets and packs of lined three-pigsty notebook pages and those packs of typing newspaper that plow me on.

ON Stage FRIGHT
Information technology'southward amazingly common for actors to have some form of stage fear. It just manifests itself in different ways.
I remember Rue McClanahan used to say, "That's one affair I never become! I never get stage fear!"
I think she was lying through her teeth.

TYPECASTING
Subsequently more than 30 hours a calendar week on live television for four years, there were those who thought of me as sickeningly sweet. They'd say, "She'll make your teeth fall out!" But if nosotros met at a party they would tell me, "Oh, yous're not as bad as I thought y'all were!"

DATING DU JOUR
Well, creature lover that I am, a cougar I am not. All my life, even as a kid, I have preferred men older than I am.
Unfortunately, today I don't think there is anyone older than I am!

FRIENDSHIPS
Friendship takes time and energy if it'south going to piece of work. You tin luck into something great, but it doesn't last if you don't give information technology proper appreciation. Friendship tin can be so comfy, just nurture information technology - don't accept it for granted.
______

I had to watch myself. I didn't want to get a reputation that I don't like women, because that's not true at all. I simply like guys best.
That's not politically correct these days. But it's however fun.

Blimp ANIMALS
Where it begins to go a petty weird is that to me, these stuffed animals are about existent. They have their private personalities - some are looking correct into my eyes - and when a new fellow member joins the group, I introduce him to the others.

SPEAKING Animate being
You're never as well sometime to adopt a pet if you expect alee and make arrangements for their future. So relax and enjoy each other.

DINING ROOM TABLE
At four a.m., which seems to be my witching 60 minutes, I wake up not in a panic well-nigh memorizing my lines or what the day on the set might bring. No, I wake upwards haunted by that mess in that office - and the growing mess on my dining room table!
I think to myself, Betty, y'all must make clean this mess earlier you die. God foreclose someone else has to rifle through what's piled on there. I fantasize near bringing in giant garbage bags and just tossing everything out - but I tin't bring myself to practise it.
What most my potential dinner guests? With no identify to serve them, nosotros air current up with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in the den, then nosotros become out to eat. I am not what might be called one of the globe's greatest hostesses.
I of my New Year's resolutions will be to finally articulate that table.
But non this year.

POKER
We don't play for big coin, but we play for claret.
It's dealer's choice, and each hand is high/low. We don't play a lot of wild games. Spiral Thy Neighbour (it'south really Screw Your Neighbour, but we call it Screw Thy Neighbor, to form information technology upwards) is my favorite.

INTEGRITY
You don't just luck into integrity. You work at it.

I'M Fourscore-Ix?
But I don't get depressed every bit the number climbs. Peradventure because I don't fearfulness death.

I feel a picayune mean not liking this more. I love Betty White, and some of the essays in this volume are spot on perfect. But information technology'due south pretty lightweight in substance, and I felt a niggling like I was on 1 of those obligatory visits to an elderly relative when I was a kid … I saturday politely and tried not to fidget, simply all I could think of was when I'd exist able to go play. Information technology's a very fast read, and includes several photos.

Still, giving credit where credit is due, White is a lovely woman and has a keen sense of humor. There were sections that were completely delightful. I'd love to accept her at my table at a dinner party! Information technology just didn't satisfy what I wait for in a reading experience (yes, even from a celebrity memoir). I'll continue to watch and enjoy her performances, but I'll read something else.

I dearest reading through comedians autobiographies, they are usually so low-cal and fun they are great breaks between really nighttime books – and I've hit a few of those recently.

Betty White is such a kind person, and and then funny, I loved listening to her audiobook. Information technology'south a really short book, the audio was but 2.5 hours long and since I listen at 1.5X it went through in a lilliputian over an hour.

It didn't go into much about her childhood or annihilation really before she was on Gilt Girls, most of information technology has to do with her recent commitments and her recent work.

I beloved getting to know peoples quirks and weird habits – and this book didn't exit me wanting.

She's an animal fanatic, she's donated a ton of money to conservation and animal welfare and she refuses to be a part of whatever movie with even the slightest bit of animate being abuse. Not even Equally Proficient As It Gets – she turned down a office in that pic because a canis familiaris is put down a garbage chute. The dog is fine, information technology's supposed to exist a funny scene, but she didn't find it funny.

She also talks to her dolls. She has a huge collection of dolls and describes them as her friends with their ain personalities. Honestly, that was baroque to read about, but to each their ain – whatsoever makes you lot happy, girl!

I loved her story about how she got involved in Hot in Cleveland, she was just supposed to be in the airplane pilot because her schedule was just so insane she couldn't brand it work for more episodes. But, she loved working with the cast and the director (I think) kept begging her to stay on for just a few more episodes – and she ended upward doing 124 episodes! Hard working woman!

If yous similar Betty White, and you desire a quick light audiobook or volume to read through to cleanse the palate and clear the listen, I do recommend this volume. It'southward a book that will leave you lot with warm fuzzies.

Final Score: 8/10

I hope this doesn't constitute cheating, but I didn't actually read this book. It is in audio book format and I listened to it on a trip final weekend. What makes information technology super-crawly though, is that it was read by the writer herself, Betty White!

I hope this doesn't constitute cheating, but I didn't actually read this book. It is in sound book format and I listened to information technology on a trip last weekend. What makes it super-awesome though, is that it was read past the author herself, Betty White!

"If You Ask Me" is a collection of the author'due south thoughts on many different subjects. She talks almost Hollywood, wellness, and my favorite field of study, pets. You lot really get to sympathize what a down to world person Betty White is. She discusses the Mary Tyler Moore Evidence, the Aureate Girls and Hot in Cleveland. You become to hear her feelings about Saturday Night Live and the Snickers commercial. There are tons of funny and touching stories!

I wasn't certain if I was going to enjoy listening to a book, only I really did! One of the perks to an sound book is you know exactly what the author'south inflection is. I oftentimes wonder if I misread certain things and don't get the full understanding of what the author is saying. Not and so in this situation. You go the story exactly as it should exist told, not just your interpretation of information technology as you read.

Whether you lot choice upwards the traditional book or the audio version, you'll become wonderful insight from a funny lady who has seen a lot in her life!

This book was enjoyable and informative. It was bully to hear stories about Betty White from the diverse eras she's lived through. From the beginning of tv and her passion for animals to computers and friendships and her career, Betty White shares her heart and sense of humour with the listener as if they were the closest of friends. She's quirky and sweetness and very caring, not to mention grateful for her experiences, career, and the people and animals around her. It was great to get this inside look at so many unlike aspects of her life.

Content:
* a few of profanities
* a smidge of crudity
* a couple of sexual jokes

I enjoyed hearing Betty White narrate this book of disparate essays, sort of similar hearing your grandmother talk about her life, manipulate a little advice and mayhap chide you lot for sweating the small stuff. There aren't any peachy revelations or aha moments, just you lot can appreciate this woman's joie de vivre and the gratitude she feels for a life well-lived.

She besides appeared in radio programs, movies, theater, commercials, and was also a talk show and game show host.
