About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

The Hemingses of Monticello: An American FamilyThe Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family by Annette Gordon-Reed

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


I did not like this audiobook. The narrator did a good job. The problem with an audioversion of this book is the inability to scan or ignore unimportant or repetitive parts. The author tells your the facts, then spends a lot of time speculating and explaining how this fits into the historical context, AND then she states something like, "But all we really know is..." what she told you four hours ago.
