*[Author’s Note: With reports that Larry King, the 87-year-old broadcasting legend is being treated for the COVID-19 virus, I thought I’d reprint a book review I wrote on his “ Remarkable Journey.”] “Ah Come-mahhhn!” the Brooklynder said. “This guy with two dollars left to his name; down on his luck; finds himself at a racetrack holding every winning ticket – to win, the exacta, the trifecta – and he collects eight-thousand dollars?” Yep! This is just one of many suspenseful accounts detailed in a new book by world-renowned talk show host Larry King titled “My Remarkable Journey” (Weinstein Books, 2009). Born Larry Zeiger, King grew up in and around Brooklyn New York where he developed lifelong friendships with amazing characters who are endearingly mentioned throughout the book. Accounts of their many adventures are so compelling and thrilling that it’s hard to put the book down. For instance, as teenagers, a group of them drove over three hours from Brooklyn to New Haven Connecticut just to prove one could buy three scoops of ice cream there for only fifteen cents. The daring story that unfolds is unbelievable!
