"The Hollywood Reporter"

It's the carefully wrought tidbits about Watergate and other presidential misbehavior that make this book stand out, elevating the story to more like a thriller.

What shines through this memoir is how much Stahl loved the work....She became a "stakeout queen," the toughest questioner around, a woman who never passed up an assignment.

Read this book and you will gain new insight into how the news is produced, into the nature of the men and women who run our country -- and into the personal life of an interesting woman.

"Rocky Mountain News"

Stahl's autobiography is a delectable read. Stahl is convivial, humorous, and self-aware revisiting her 20-year career...each chapter is intriguing, revealing of the political and social mores of the day.

Anthony Day

"Los Angeles Times"

In the skillfully written "Reporting Live," Lesley Stahl...weaves together several compelling stories about the way politics, and the media that cover it, have changed through the years....[It] is the story of Stahl herself, bright, terribly ambitious, and touchingly vulnerable....

Dan Rather

If you care about good journalism, or if you care about the choices made by working women today, you'll want to read this book. This is a self-portrait of a hard-driving professional -- and a caring wife, mother, daughter, and friend -- who never stops asking the hard questions...Lesley Stahl's "Reporting Live" is too good to keep quiet about.

In telling her story, Stahl touches on themes that have defined the later part of this century: the changing role of the press in politics, television's coming of age, and the dilemma of the professional woman. With witty anecdotes, wise observations, and never a hair out of place, Stahl provides an insightful and entertaining look at her world and ours from behind the reporter's microphone.
