5.0 out of 5 starsEntertainment
By KWB on 1 May 2009
Format: Hardcover
I read Joan Bakewell`s book and was pleasantly surprised by the way it was written and the content of the book. Joan writes about her life in a down to earth, funny and entertaining way. I would recommend this book to anyone of her generation or a little younger. Great reminiscences and reminders of happenings in our younger days! Can`t wait for her next book!

3.0 out of 5 starsA bit complacent...
By Wynne Kelly TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 28 Sept. 2010
Format: Paperback
I "read" this as an audiobook and was quite surprised that Joan Bakewell did not do the narration herself. Patricia Gallimore does an able job but at times she sounded just like the queen!

The View From Here is a selection of Bakewell's writings about reaching seventy. I have always admired her as a broadcaster and looked forward to hearing observations on ageing. However this was all a bit disappointing. There were few insights or really interesting thoughts. It was all a bit patchy and even repetitive in places. She admits she is lucky enough to be in reasonable health, has a supportive family and no money worries. In fact, it all felt a bit complacent - could have done with a bit more passion!

5.0 out of 5 stars... their teens - forever - this book is a great help to the rest of us
By Harry Pullan on 3 Nov. 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
In a world where almost all people on the planet are in their teens - forever - this book is a great help to the rest of us, knackered and rejected.

4.0 out of 5 starsAn Easy Read, and Attention holder
By Anna T.Farmer on 17 May 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Fun book to read if you know the era - plus of course Joan Bakewell - suspect will be of interest mainly to an older generaration who will have experienced her programmes several years ago.

1.0 out of 5 starsYes ma'am
By Summermoonstone on 18 July 2010
Format: Paperback
What a let down!!! I have always like Joan Bakewell and the sub-title of this book is "Life at Seventy" so thought I could read many tips and anecdotes before I arrived there to prepare me! It felt I was being lectured at and talked at by a strict victorian grandmother to a small child. Skipped through most of it and will send it to the charity shop
