Book Review #41

Dispatches from the Edge: A Memoir of War, Disasters, and Survival by Anderson Cooper

Beautifully written and heart-wrenching. Anderson Cooper, now an anchor at CNN, writes his life story without holding back, entrusting his readers with his raw emotion. I didn't know he was Gloria Vanderbilt's son. I didn't know his brother killed himself in front of his mother. I didn't know that he threw himself into the heart of warzones for decades. And if you thought you knew all that, read his memoir because I guarantee you only knew the half of it.

General consesus: Brilliant.
