    This is an incredible book! The amount of detail that Goodwin provides in this book is amazing, and provides a vivid window into her subjects. Riveting read and really informative

    Kearns Goodwin does it again. Another winning historical saga on fascinating American figures. Especially enjoyed the contrast in TR's and Taft's personalities, as well as the sweep and detail of the period. There are so many similarities with key issues of our day, yet the author wisely avoids making the analogy or talking about the present. After this great read I hope to delve more into TR.

    I love Goodwin’s books. Besides being an excellent curator of historical information, she helps the reader achieve an emotional understanding with her characters. I never knew Teddy Roosevel quite the way I know him now.

    Another long, disappointing book from Goodwin. Like Team of Rivels, this book combines subjects enough for three books - TR, Taft and the Muckraker Press - because Goodwin possesses only the ability to describe but not the power to explain. She needs length because she cannot offer depth. It is written as though she just lined up all her 3x5 research notecards and dictated her way to the end.

  • Why rate the book poorly for an iBooks issue?

    Why do people feel the need to rate the book poorly because they had issues downloading it. Last time I checked DGoodwin is an author not an Apple technician. Rate the book and not the store, complain to Apple about that. The book was excellent.
  • Excellent Book!

    like everyone else I had an issue with the download. However, I simply contacted apple support and they rectified the issue and I now have the full download! This book is amazing!
