Book Reviews of Peter Jennings: A Reporter's Life

Book Review: Kristen, OSU Comp Student 2010
Summary: 5 Stars

The thing I loved most about Peter Jennings: A Reporter's Life was all of the contributors. Without them, I would not have enjoyed this book as much. This book is in chronological order and tells about Peter Jennings childhood, up to his death. Before reading the book I had never known what he went through in the broadcasting industry. Reading this book has given me hope and courage, because I am an aspiring broadcaster. I would definitely recommend this book to someone who wants to read about a man who has gone through many struggles and became successful. The editors couldn't have done a better job on this biography.
