If You Ask Me: (And of Course You Won't)

interesting and funny book. So sad such a lively talent is now gone.

This is a very delightful book. Betty White was known to be raunchy, but she was witty and classy at the same time. She talks a lot about her dear Allen Ludden, who she remained in love with even after his sudden death with cancer. Very simple book, easy to read and with pictures. I like books like that every once awhile to just sit and read and escape life for a minute or two.

A wonderful book by real Golden girl. The various pictures are really terrific and tell a story all by themselves!

Betty White was a national treasure! This book reads like she sounded. It contains stories of her adventures, both with actors and with the animals who were so close to her heart!

Diving into this collection of Betty White’s musings felt like sitting down for coffee with her—warm, funny, and endlessly charming. She effortlessly shifts from on-set tales of The Golden Girls to reflections on aging with grace, each anecdote delivered with her trademark wit. The chapters are brisk but packed with personality, so it’s easy to pick up just a handful of pages and walk away smiling. I especially loved her behind-the-scenes stories about working alongside legends like Mary Tyler Moore; they’re nostalgic without ever feeling overly sentimental. Betty’s genuine affection for her animal friends shines through in every section, reminding you why she was such a devoted advocate for shelters and wildlife causes. Even the beauty-and-lifestyle tips—delivered with a wink—are full of the same down-to-earth humor that made her a household name. Overall, this book reads like an intimate chat with a beloved friend. Whether you’re a lifelong Golden Girls fan or just looking for a pick-me-up from one of television’s greatest treasures, you’ll find yourself returning to these pages again and again.

Betty White is so very gracious, and the reader will understand why every time they pick up this book. Betty stresses many times how she is so thankful for all the opportunities she has had, and doesn't take her good fortune for granted. This book is broken into small sections so that you can read just two or three pages in a few minutes, and finish the topic. It also contains dozens of great pictures of all phases of Betty's life. She is a very pretty lady with a great attitude about life.

Straight talking, positive tales and heartfelt memories. I think i learned a lesson or two from this one. Thanks Betty.

Great book to read!

...disguised as Betty White Shares anecdotes and the wisdom of (back then) almost 90 years. It is a refreshing experience to read this, to laugh with this special Golden Girl, and to think about the truth behind so many of her words. I am glad I bought this book, and hope for many more to come from Betty White. Thank you, for being a writer!

Omg, where to start. I read this book in 3 days. Although I had little time. But the book is written in little parts. Every chapter is 2-4 pages with beautiful photos in between. It is such a comfort read. I am going to order all Betty's books in the nearby future. I missed a GG part in this book though. But maybe she has written about that in one of her other books. So she has been forgiven. We lost a true gem with this beautiful actress. The things she has done and seen in her life are remarkable. I am so glad she loved to write and that way she shared a part of her life behind the scenes with us.

A little disappointed. Yes a paperback, but quite a flimsy light paperback compared to what I've bought previously. I actually didn't want to give it as a gift, it felt cheap. A fantastic option to just read yourself, but not the kind of quality you'd want to gift.

Good read, enjoyed

Reading this book is like eating a hot bowl of homemade chicken soup when you're surrounded by a rainy-day world. and I bought it as a gift for a friend in that situation as I had read it before and found it calming and uplifting and so down-to-earth. Betty White was an amazing woman and someone everyone would have liked to have known and when she writes, she gives you a piece of herself that you can hold onto. Reading her warm, humourous and sensible views puts our tilted world upright for a time. I highly recommend anything she has written.
