Any opinions of Anderson Cooper's Dispatches from the Edge? Worth $24.95?

Question

Does it establish his credibility as a reporter? Was it ghost-written? Is it better/worse than his CNN 360? Will he join the ranks of Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw, and Dan Rather?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if he will join those ranks but he is pretty close. Eswpecially after his intereviews during the Katrina crisis. I'm a bit biased (i pretty much love Anderson Cooper) so I think it's worth the price. It's a memoir of his life. It gives a lot of detail regarding his experiences that you don't get from CNN's 360. I don't think it was ghost written... this coming from someone that is borderline obsessed with the man.
