I thought the book was good and easy to follow. I liked the way he writes about the year 1776 from beginning to end with letters and diaries of the men who were there.

I loved the beginning of this book, the story slowed when it moved to current time. I wanted to learn more about the time leading up until then. Well written and moved fast. I have to say I found it interesting and it sparked me to do some checking on Laura Bush to see to what extent this paralleled her real life. I was amazed at what I found. Highly recommend no matter what you view is on the Bush family.

I loved this book and can hardly wait to read the next. At first I was frustrated with her poor choices and wasn't sure if I could even stand to finish the book, then half way through she starts to get it together. It was at this point that I couldn't put it down and finished it in one night.

A great book, at times you forget this is someone's life. I was very hesitant in reading, I usually don't read biographies. This was such an interesting story, the way the family related to each other and lived through it all. Highly recommend!

At first I almost gave up and said it was too young for me. It turned out to be a good fast read. A little predictable, but it moved fast and held my interest.

This is a great book. A glimpse into what motherhood really is and how there is so much to deal with. I loved how each of the characters dealt with their problems. I was able to connect with bits of each of them from my own experiences.

As usual, I loved this book. Maeve Binchy never fails to capture me with her characters and writing style. This one I finished in 2 days. That is saying something with 2 kids.

This was the first Jodi Picoult book I read. I will start searching for her others. I enjoyed the story and how a little more was reavealed through out with a twist at the end that never crossed my mind.

It was a good historical story. I had troubles getting through the 500 pages, my family kept saying are you still reading that book. I much preferred her other book " The Other Boleyn". I will still try "The Boleyn Inheritance".
