Very well written autobiography; funny, witty, intelligent, and go-getter tones. ( )

I heard an interview with Megan Kelly--with Terry Gross, I think--and found her interesting, so I decided to listen to her audiobook. I had heard of Megyn over the last year, but I had been so busy with other things that I didn't really register her story. While she gives a full description of her life, it was in large part centered around her year-long feud with Donald Trump. That part was fascinating. There rest of the book was a bit overstretched--too many chapters were spent detailing how she met her husband and bragging on her kids. All in all, a decent listen. Megyn did an excellent job reading for the Audible version. ( )

This was an amazing book. To be honest I know very little of Megyn Kelly and don't watch the news very often but picked this up because my dad holds a lot of respect for her.

I listened to this in audiobook format and loved it. For somebody I know very little of, I identified with her a lot in many ways and respect her bravery in being open about so many things. Highly recommend. ( )

I have felt that Megan Kelly won the genetic lottery in physical appearance, IQ and raw talent. Little did I know just how hard she had to work to become the success person that she is. Her loving family and the early death of her father helped shape who she became. She completed law school and practiced law for ten years. Because of long hours and feeling unfulfilled, she then switched her career path to become a cable TV personality and journalist. After a failed marriage, Megan met another man who she would marry and focused on being a wife and a mother of 3 children. Megyn Kelly gives an open honest look into her life. She reveals exactly who she is, what she wants, what she won't allow, her dreams, passions, and flaws. Her genetic- lottery win did not exempt her from some very difficult roadblocks which she explains with honesty and humility. I was surprised at her penetrating point of view concerning human relationships. The unveiled portrait of her life inspires the young to never sell themselves short, never underestimate the importance of the power of hard work and personal evaluation of priorities. I grew to like her more after reading this book because of her honesty and courage. This is a motivating read for younger and older women alike. ( )

I was fascinated while reading Megyn Kelly’s memoir, ‘Settle For More,’ as she portrayed her loneliness and humiliation while bullied as a teenager, to the grinding hours of work as a corporate lawyer, followed by her jaunt towards aspiring to become a top national newscaster for Fox News. The story was riveting, occasionally touching, and full of the self-deprecating humor which is so Megyn Kelly. Some critics felt that in telling her tale, Ms. Kelly was self-possessed as she depicted herself as an award winning law student, superstar corporate lawyer, perfect mother and wife, and a ratings-winning anchor for Fox News. I didn’t think that she portrayed herself to seem so perfect, as there were moments in the story where she resonated about how difficult the challenges were, and how she felt distraught. But I did think that Ms. Kelly resoundingly presented the message that because of her humiliation of being bullied in her teenage years, she learned how to stand up to her adversaries and endure the challenges, even when they came from the Republican Presidential candidate for President, Trump. Perhaps because of my naiveté, I was appalled and concerned when I read how she was hounded on Twitter with disparaging remarks from our current President, and that the verbal assault continued for nine months. The Republican candidate called her a ‘bimbo, angry, crazy, over-rated’ and that there was blood coming out of her eyes, and ‘blood coming out of her wherever.’ During the months of tension, while Trump was on the warpath regarding her, Ms. Kelly was called into the Fox Network executive Roger Ailes’ office numerous times, as he was a close associate of the aspiring Presidential candidate. Ms. Kelly reveals in her memoir that Mr. Ailes held many similarities to Trump in that they were both successful corporate executives, of the same generation and age group, and both had questionable characteristics regarding treatment of women. The Murdochs, who owned the network, later dismissed Roger Ailes, due in part to the testimony from Megyan Kelly. Several women additionally came forward to testify that Mr. Ailes was a misogynist and sexual predator. Possibly seeing that Ms. Kelly represented the future of Fox News, the Murdoch brothers brought an end to the Ailes’ dynasty at the network while Donald Trump moved on to assume the Presidency. Since the book’s publication, Megyn Kelly has announced that she is quitting Fox News to move to NBC News, which is an ironic turn of events. ( )
