3.0 out of 5 stars Politically Correct Information Makes for Bad Biography, September 30, 1998

By	Jack "jjr35" (Livonia, Michigan USA) - See all my reviews

Horn Book calls this book "a detailed, informative, and readable chronicle" of Chung's life, and I heartily agree. The book is very specific and has a good source of information about various political conventions and issues during Connie's years as a reporter. If the reader is searching for Chung's thoughts, ideas, or emotions during her life however, they will be thoroughly disappointed. Her wedding, probably the most personal event of her life, is briefly mentioned in the sentence "in December 1984, they were married in Connie's New York apartment. " The bottom life here is that the mediocre writing style and reservoir of trivial information about political candidates makes for a sloppy biography.

Synopsis: For the most part, this biography outlines the key achievements and milestones chronically in the life of Connie Chung. Beginning prior to her birth in China, where her parents are born, and continuing forward until about the 1990's when she began to disappear from the public eye.
