If you miss Bob, listen to this book. Then go help the animals.

I had a hard copy of Priceless Memories that I read back in 2009. I picked up the audio version so I could hear Bob’s voice telling his wonderful stories. He died in late August of 2023. This book is an excellent record of the Worlds Greatest M.C. If you truly miss Bob, remember all the priceless memories he made with us. And most importantly his legacy lives on in the work he has done for animal rights.

I enjoyed this book.

Bob Barker is a Golden God!

I wanted to really like this book but majority of the book was about animal cruelty and the pet population, which is important. Not much about his time on price is right which surprised me due to the cover being a picture of Bob in front of the big wheel.

Such memories

This has to be one of the best Audibles I've listened to. The fact that Bob Barker is the reader truly made this so enjoyable. I was swept back to when I was a kid staying out of school laying on my grandparents couch and watching “The Price is Right” A great listen!

An excellent memoir of one of the greatest game show hosts of all time!!

A wonderful read that goes through the life and times of the late great Bob Barker. Fom hislove of animals to spending time serving for our country as a cadet to marry the love of his life to gaining the job of a lifetime as being the greatest game show presenters since his start on Truth or Consequences through his memorable glory days on The Price is Right. has a fan of Bob Barker and a fan of game shows in general I highly implore you both read and listen about the detailed and poignant moments in his life.

Loved it!

Funny and interesting stories about Bob Barker told by the man himself. He talks about growing up on a reservation, his time flying for the navy, his wife and his love of animals. He is so much more than just the host of Price is Right. Although the stories from his time on The Price is Right had me laughing out loud. Great book!!!

Great American story

New appreciation for an icon who contributed to America’s story and made a difference for animals
