Title: South Dakota Boredom
Review: Tom Brokaw's fame make him a potentially fascinating subject for an autobiography, yet such lofty expectations will only serve to increase your disappointment in this book. It doesn't take long to discover that Brokaw's upbringing is so mundane and ordinary that it's almost painful to tread through this book. I suppose there may be some ardent fans of his or maybe family or friends of Brokaw's that would want to know the minute details of his early life, but otherwise you might as well be reading about any random person from mid 20th century South Dakota. Nothing out of the ordinary at all happens in Brokaw's early life and this book deals with none of the latter half of his life (where he actually became noteworthy), thus unless you have insomnia I don't recommend bothering with this book at all.
