This book is hot" -Andy Cohen "My biggest regret was ever sitting down with [Ramin]." -Rosie ODonnell "Thats something her colleagues who also participated could probably agree on." -Minneapolis Star-Tribune "Ill be very honest: I read it and I immediately started praying." -Elizabeth Hasselbeck "Juicy and revealing." -Orlando Sentinel "A bombshell." -Inside Edition "This book is very juicy." -Page Six TV "Talk about a tell-all! Its full of juicy inside information." -US Weekly "A lot of juicy stuff in here." -CNN New Day "The hottest book on the market." -E! News Daily Pop "This books blowing peoples minds." -ET "Its one of the best page turners Ive ever read." -Jillian Barberie"A veritable Spill-the-Tea Party. With interviews from nearly everyone involved in the 22-year-old series, including a gloriously candid Rosie ODonnell, it is dishy in the way entertainment reporting frankly never is anymore. Come for the stories of cattiness, All About Eve machinations, and behind-the-scenes blow-ups, but stay for the sharp distillation of why this talk show completely changed television as we know it. The View is responsible for the very conflagration of news and opinion that today defines media and gives us all us three to five rage strokes per week." -Daily Beast "And you thought the The View could get crazy on-screen (Joy Behar and Meghan McCain, were looking at you). This pull-back-the-curtain story of almost two decades of the groundbreaking talk show delivers. This is everything a behind-the-scenes book should be--dishy, surprising, and written with the unprecedented help of those who lived it." -Booklist "Terrifically fun to read. Setoodeh has been reporting on the show for years, and he knows everyone. The book is studded with juicy little scoops, including firing stories, backstage drama (wait for the story about Walters, Jenny McCarthy, and the tampon), and details about Star Jones freebie-laden wedding." -Slate "By comparison, Trumps White House is far more functional." -Toronto Star "With a random array of hosts and plenty of drama to go around, Setoodeh manages to peel back the composed facade of what viewers see on their screens in order to focus on raw feelings and teetering emotions of those closely involved with "The View." Ladies Who Punch" is an exciting read that proves theres always a little soap opera even if a show presents itself as hard news." -Associated Press "Jenny McCarthy reached out to Ramin to tell him the book is fair and honest. But when you write a book like this, not everyones going to love it, but with all the juicy info, hes got a bestseller on his hands for sure." -Daily Mail TV Promotional Ladies Who Punch shows why The View can be mimicked and mocked, but it can never be matched.
