You get a car!


52. Marcia Z. Nelson "The Gospel According To Oprah"
I don't watch "Oprah," yet I enjoyed this book. Nelson's short work, about 100 pages long, about Oprah and the 'religion' she encourages is simply written and easy to understand. I've never read Oprah's magazine, have seen only a handful of shows and don't know her personal belief's, but after reading this book I understand why a lot of middle aged women made this individual a billionaire.

If you hate Oprah you won't have your mind changed. Then again, you wouldn't be reading a book about Oprah. If you love Oprah you won't learn much. This book is good for the casual fan of the most powerful woman on television. It's not revelatory in any way and reads like senior year thesis paper, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
