I love history and I love a good story.  I feel McCullough gives us so much of both in this great book.  Book one especially had me looking up people and places to get more information.  He did a great job bringing events to life and keeping you with the book.  And I learned a lot concerning an important time in history.

I love history and this book is perfect for those who enjoy reading about important figures throughout our history. I've learned a lot about Mr.. Newton that I never knew before. It is well written and not boring at all. I know some biographies can tend to get lengthy and wordy and this one is not like that. The author writes well and uses quotes from letters that were written to, from or about Mr. Newton. If you do not enjoy reading about people from the past then this is probably not the type of book for you but those who enjoy reading about real people then you will love it.

If you read only one book this year, them let it be "Follow the River" by James Alexander. Send the kids off to school and put the dog out, because you will not be able to put this book down. I love to read about history and this book has it all history,love, tears, and fear. I wish I could be just half the woman Mary was. Thought it all she keep the faith and the need to go home again. Please read this book and you will not be sorry...better yet BUY this book and read it over and over again like we all have.....

Excellent book in explaining who were his neighbors, how his property was taken care of, etc.  Since my Husbands ancestors were some of his neighbors it is a really interesting read. I love history anyway. I really like finding out how our early leaders were really just like us.  It makes history come alive

I bought this book for my kids to share my love of English history. I love how this book gave my children a sense of history in a comic and entertaining light. They immediately asked to read the book again tomorrow night. I would love to find more books like this for my children. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

This is such a cool book. Perfect for any history buff. Not only are you able to read about various civil was stories but you also get to see general stories and advertisements placed with various newspapers of the day.

I absolutely love this book. The format of the story being written as a series of letters through pen pals, fans and friends makes the dialogue more interesting. The historical feel of the war and the times is presented in a manner that is unlike any history book ever written. I could feel myself in the pages and didn't want the story to end. Wonderfully written. I have recommended it to many, many friends, family and people who see me carrying the book to appointments etc. A MUST read!!
