I have always liked Anderson Cooper as a news reporter, but after reading this memoir I have a whole new appreciation for his life experiences and his profession. He is a Vanderbilt so he is from wealth, but he really had to work his way to the top. He has risked his life to try to bring information to people everywhere and he has true compassion for those in crisis. Some of the sections were hard to digest, but overall he kept the tone of the book less morbid than he could have. I think the writing was amazing and he made his memoir very interesting by mixing his work life with his childhood experiences. I highly recommend this book!
