Astor: The Rise and Fall of an American Fortune by Katherine Howe, Anderson Cooper
informative
reflective
slow-paced
3.0
Meh
This isn't an extensive or even very good history on The Astor family.
This should be called a very short history of The Astors.
So many colorful and fun stories are left out.
The Astors were fairly awful people and that's somewhat blunted in this narrative.
Not bad but almost every other book I've read on the Astors is superior.
