Wendy's Got the Heat Paperback – August 3, 2004

Get to know the girl behind the Exodus that is 2024…she told you WHO DID IT before Katt Williams..beginning with the Diddler..

Definitely a page turner. I grew up listening to Wendy on the radio and I was surprised that her book really revealed a lot. She was upfront about her own story. So surprised to find that when it all comes down to it she was and still is quite a loner. She doesn't seem to have any close friends. Say whatever you want to say about her but no one can deny that she has a great work ethic and she has more than succeeded in her career. I won't judge her choices because I respect her honesty. There was a point in the book that you could tell she was talking directly to her husbands side piece. Lol

When subscribed to Wendy Williams’ YouTube channel, every now and then during Hot Topics she mentions past drug use, miscarriages, and a few other things. However, she never goes into full detail. So, when she mentioned this book I decided to buy it and read it, and it reminded me that Talk Show Wendy and Radio Host Wendy are two different people. In this book, she is Talk show Wendy, or the Wendy during her new comedy stand up specials. Meaning, cursing is consistent, as well as the use of the "N" word but you can see that despite how raw she is, her foundation is wholesome.For with mentions of her upbringing and you seeing how that led to her “futuristic vision,” ambition, and even morals, you can tell that despite the language, and some of her decisions, she is very much traditional. Though I must say, if you put this beside Janet Mock’s “Redefining Realness,” and Maya Angelou’s biography, it does sometimes seem like the book is willing to go there, but in the pursuit of being raw, it loses any sense of eloquence. This is despite Wendy sometimes speaking of very personal matters and generally having the type of narrative like you was her niece or nephew. Though all things considered, I don’t think most people want suburban Wendy. They want Queen of Radio Wendy being as messy with her personal life as she is with others. Something she certainly delivers on.I will say though, outside of a rape incident, if you are a regular watcher of Wendy’s show, you are not going to probably learn anything new here. Nor is there significant enough detail to warrant buying this book and not renting or borrowing it.

I was a little disappointed this book was written so long ago but man was it loaded with good surprises! I loved her before now (talk show) but I love her even more now. So glad to see where she came from. Much respect to her.

! After watching the Lifetime network biopic as a longtime listener I was like, "That's it?" and then I remember this gem and downloaded it! The book was excellent it was like an extention of her radio show. Enjoy!

Enjoyed this book, and how open she was, hopefully she will write another. Would definitely want to read the next book.

I really like Wendy Williams so I was looking forward to reading her story. The writing is amateurish and inarticulate and she failed to included photos to support the descriptions that she provides. She describes being fat as a kid, I can't picture it, she describes being really "hot" looking when she went out, I can't picture it, she describes being super skinny while on drugs, I can't picture it, she describes working in the radio station--no photos, I can't picture it, she describes her family growing up, no photos, I can't picture it. Failing to include pictures really diminishes the interest that this book could have had.

I really enjoyed this book.It was better than I expected.Wendy really told her truth and I wish her the best.I look forward to reading another of her writings.

Really happy! Waited a long time as I had moved and wasn’t able to send new address but it’s arrived today to my new home free of charge- thank you ;)

If your a wendy fan then you'll love this book! I finished it in a day. Very detailed book. Great valve too!!

I watch her on tv and she is as down to earth and honest in the book, down to her shoe size!

Exceededexpectstions!
