Vanderbilt: The Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty by Katherine Howe, Anderson Cooper
3.0
3 stars
By Anderson Cooper, a look at the family history and legend of the Vanderbilt family. This was honestly a fine book I just don't think I personally found this legend of history interesting. Certain family members were very interesting such as Alva Vanderbilt and Little Gloria but others I did not find as compelling. Might have been due to the audiobook format but the family tree got really confusing and though it was relatively linearly written the whole picture was unclear. More memoir-like than originally thought so if you want a more historical view (which I did) this might need to be supplemented with additional reading.
