I think Emily, that when Oprah recommends something, her millions of fans do expect more. I think she would be the first one to admit it as well. I am not an anti Oprah person, I just wanted to point out what might happen in the future is all. Trying to be a bit funny during a touch time, too. Have a great 2009.

really?
I don't understand why everyone is blaming Oprah for this. A publisher published and marketed this book as a memoir. Why should it be Oprah's responsibility to fact check something that should have been taken care of before the story went to print?

Oprah will do what Oprah pleases
I haven't quite read every word of every book ever written, but I doubt that there is anything written today that is truly "original".
What is "education" but studying what has already been written?

This was not a book club pick
This was just a guest on her show. He didn't decide to write a book until after his Oprah appearance. Oprah had tens of thosuands of people tell their story on her show over the last quarter centry. Of course some will be lies, but overall her track record is good.
