Book Reviews
These short memories, of the people Burnett met and interviewed over the years, on- and off-camera, bring it back—the golden age of variety shows.... Burnett has a writer's eye for the moment, the detail, the slip that reveals character. She's never mean and always grateful.
Los Angeles Times
A disappointment.... Burnett, 76, is a consummate storyteller, and there are enough gems amid the dross in This Time Together to keep a tolerant reader interested.... Fans will probably love Burnett’s new book. But if you really want to know about her, read One More Time.
St. Petersburg Times
In short, there’s a lot of humor in this book, and many of the funny stories are told at the teller’s own expense. What you won’t find here is very much beneath the surface about the heartaches Burnett had to deal with in her life.... In the end, the memoir gives us what we want most of all: another chance to spend just a little time with a woman who still makes us laugh.
San Francisco Chronicle
Fans of both the show and the actress will enjoy this mostly lighthearted though sometimes poignant look back at Burnett’s career.
