3.25
challenging informative slow-paced

things i liked about this book
1. the section about the first ladies
2. i learned some things from it
things i disliked about this book
1. a lot of the things mentioned were just facts, not “stories”
2. there were historical inaccuracies, such as saying that william henry harrison got sick at his inauguration 
3. the language. this book was written WAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY too late to be saying “indians” “blacks” and calling afghanistan “primitive”
4. you could tell that the author was biased. obviously, all authors are biased and it’s very hard not to show it, but this bugged me.
