informative medium-paced

3.0

That was informative but less interesting than I thought it would be. They seemed like such a mythical family to US history, but I found myself really disliking them all. I'm more curious about what it was like to grow up a Vanderbilt. It was nice to see NYC from this historical viewpoint.
