A Lucky Life Interrupted: A Memoir of Hope by Tom Brokaw

1.0

Lucky life? Yes. Some might even called it privilege. After reading the first third of the book, I realized the whole thing would continue along this name-dropping, self promoting, boringly told stream of consciousness. Obviously a very talented news anchor and reporter, his ability to write a relatable story is weak. Some paragraphs would begin with humility, only to mention how he hopped a private jet to receive care at the Mayo Clinic or called up his physician daughter for counsel. The subtitle of the book might be better as “Finding hope because I’m extremely wealthy and well-known.”
