Resumen del Editor

Anchor of the number-one news show on cable, The Kelly File, Fox News Channel's Megyn Kelly writes her much anticipated book, a revealing and surprising memoir detailing her rise as one of the most respected journalists working today. From the values and lessons that have shaped her career to her time at the center of the chaotic 2016 Republican presidential primary, this book offers an inside look at an uncompromising woman's journey to the top of the news business.

In the two and half years since her show, The Kelly File, premiered on the Fox News Channel, Megyn Kelly has cemented her reputation as one of the most respected and hardest hitting journalists in America. Tackling issues from both sides of the aisle, live in prime time five nights a week, Kelly has embraced difficult questions - fearlessly pressing for answers as she redefines the face of news for her more than two million nightly viewers.

Now, in her debut book, Kelly goes behind the scenes of the stories and the storms that have made her one of the most talked about public figures in America. From growing up in a tough-love family where she had to earn her praise to her father's sudden, tragic death while she was still in high school to the news stories that launched her journalism career, Kelly traces the values and experiences - both good and bad - that landed her in the anchor chair.

With the same bold and brave voice that has won her fans across the political divide, she opens up about the controversy that made her a household name, telling her side of Donald Trump's feud with her while sharing never-before-heard details about the infamous first Republican debate, its challenging aftermath, and how she persevered through it all, winning widespread admiration while maintaining her professionalism. Speaking candidly about the career-changing decision that led her to "settle for more" - a motto she credits with leading her to a better life at home and at work - Kelly also discusses how she approaches gender in the workplace, demonstrating how her success is rooted in Steve Martin's old adage: "Be so good they can't ignore you."

Throughout her meteoric career, Megyn Kelly has been a source of fascination and speculation. Men and women, Republicans and Democrats, viewers of Fox News and the network's most diehard detractors have all sought to understand what she stands for and what matters to her. With this deeply personal account of her life, she answers critics and fans alike. At once humorous, uplifting, and revealing, Settle for More offers unparalleled insight into one of the most charismatic and intriguing television personalities in a generation and will be one of the most talked about books from an influential voice unlike any other.

Grabs your interest & Doesn't Let Go

Megyn Kelly does a fabulous job of letting us into her personal life from her upbringing, through high school and college, her early career, and now her role as a powerful journalist, wife, and mother.

This isn't just another ordinary memoir written about someone's life - it is more than that. It is encouraging, inspiring, and filled with top notch advice and encouragement to make the most of your life. This book came at a pivotal turning point in my own life - so much so that I can identify with a lot of what is said within Megyn's words, and for that I am thankful.

It has been a long time since I have read something I couldn't put down. Since I listened to this on audio I couldn't wait to get back in my car and turn it on. While I honestly have never watched Megyn aside from the debates (FOX News isn't a channel that we watch often), I can say that I am now a fan that will be sure to tune into her show. Her way of reporting with integrity and fairness is refreshing - and her voice brings you into the story and allows you to become emotionally involved.

I encourage anyone to go out and get a copy of this book and "Settle For More."

Excellent!

Thank you Megan! Thank you for sharing your life. I have always been a huge fan!

Great Audiobook, Increased Admiration

I considered myself a fan of Megyn Kelly beforehand, which obviously contributed to my choice to buy the book, and I can say after listening I feel quite validated in my admiration of her.

I am a registered Independent and I have never enjoyed any opinion programs and so don't watch Fox, MSNBC, or any shows with (usually deserved) reputations for obviously leaning one way or another, as it seems pointless to listen when you can already guess the hosts' conclusions like a well-construct computer algorithm. The Kelly File with Megyn as host is the only one I felt there was a point to watching, as she at least thinks on her own and doesn't always come down on the same side regardless of the circumstances as so many other hosts and purported "journalists" who are anything but.

I have great respect for the way she handled herself and described the way she navigated being attacked by Donald Trump and harassed by Roger Ailes. It's an excellent example of an all too common real world scenario, navigated with intelligence and courage. She also makes great points in the book about how much common cause there is for women of all political, religious, and ethnic stripes to come together on, something I hope will be improved upon in my lifetime.

Wow, what a life! Very inspiring read for women.

Wow, what a life! Very inspiring read for working women. I'm not very political and would recommend this book to any woman regardless of political affiliation. She has a great, strong message and delivers it well.

A great mass market memoir

I love current affairs books and political memoirs. This is a great read or listen for anyone open minded enough to hear the story of someone with whom they disagree but also respect. She does a great job reading it as well.

Megyn is the friend I never had but always wanted!

BRAVE!!

Great writing, great performance & overall great story. I admire her for baring her soul like this & she is very brave.

I admire Megyn Kelly!

I think Amazon needs to make sure that someone actually bought this book before they review it. I know many Trump followers think that he and Megyn are feuding. If you actually read the book you would know that they aren't. I think the people giving this book 1 star, are probably people who would never buy or read this book. I throughly enjoyed hearing this honest and admirable book about Megyn Kelly's life.

Megyn Kelly-AMAZEBALLS
