This review is from: Anderson Cooper (Paperback)

I bought this book anawa4re that it was an edition for juveniles. So I found an easy reading but interesting. The history of the Vanderbilt family, the story of Anderson's career, all told very factual, but including some trivia as his gray hair, too. Though I am not a teenager I enjoýed the reading and learned some things about journalism.

Anderson Cooper: Profile of a TV Journalist covers a general timeline of Cooper's life, beginning with his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt. This book is really a preview of the man and how he got started in the career which was to come to define him.
