I enjoyed reading Bob Barkers book, Priceless Memories. I grew up on the Rosebud Indian Reservation. Bob's mother, Matilda Barker, was Superintendent of Schools when I was in the second grade. She flunked me when I was in the second grade. I have kept my second grade report card, which has her name on it, as a souvenir. I was a Swiss immigrant child and my command of the English language was marginal. I attended the same group of wooden school buildings that Bob attended. We were equipped with cast iron wood burning stoves and outhouse restrooms. The Barkers left the reservation before I started the third grade, so I convinced my third grade teacher to let me proceed in the third grade. The reservation school system was quite good. I eventually earned BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering.
I agree with Bob, that growing up on the Rosebud Reservation was a great experience. I enjoyed many of the same experiences that he mentions in his book.

Enjoyable book
This book was especially interesting because I, like most people, didn't have a clue how versatile this man was. I enjoyed it being written in his own style and in his own words. i recommend it.

Bob Barker is for real
Having watched Bob Barker on Truth or Consequences and again on Price is Right, I found the book to be wonderful reading. He is a real person and absolutely lives his beliefs. He does things his way but is willing to work with others to find a happy medium to his way of life.

Good Book
All in all I thought it a good book, at times it was boring especially going over the games in the shows, but it had humor & I liked that he gave his wife & Mother credit for guiding & supporting his dreams. His love of animals came through strong & I especially feel anyone who is not afraid to stick up for these voiceless beings is a good person & so made reading this book worthwhile. I would recommend it.

Boring
Very boring. Could not even finish and I like Bob Barker! It seems very choppy. While your reading about one thing, he goes off with something else. It got too tiring to read.
