Really basic abbreviated overview of how to use your iPad. I'm sure the full edition has more information.

I guess I am going to have to talk to Hilary about this book, because I'm not really sure how I feel about this ending book. Sort of confused, I guess.

I enjoyed the storyline, although I did find the sheer number of characters hard to keep track of, and the plot seemed to jump around a bit.

I very much enjoyed it. I recommend the audio version, with the different voices.

This was the only biography of Mary Lincoln my library owns. I chose to give up on it today. I read the actual story line the author wrote (which had some interesting choices in terms of what to focus on) but then the last half of the book were the letters she used as her sources. I couldn't bring myself to read all of that, especially when I have so many other books on my plate. I'd love to hear if anyone knows of a better Mary Lincoln biography.

My library received this as an advanced reader's copy. Why, I'm not sure, since we own no other book in the series (which is not indicated on the book, so I had no idea it was part of a series). Since it was the 8th book, I assume that the lack of character explanation is because the author assumes the reader is familiar with the series. Personally, the plot and the style of writing were not my cup of tea. The frequent switching of character perspective made it difficult for me to get into the story. She also clearly set up a mystery for the next book, but I'm afraid I found the discussion of it quite distracting in this book, because there seemed to be no connection to the current story, just thrown in there for no reason.
