Abigail Adams Audiobook

" I loved reading about early American History through the life experiences of Abigail Adams. She was a intelligent, tough woman who placed her relationships with her family as her highest priority. Very educational! "

" This was a great biography! Occasionally, some of the money stuff was a little dry, but it was such a complete portrait of Abigail Adams. She was such an amazing woman, especially in the context of her time. All of the excerpts from letters to and from her made it an even better read. Definitely a book to recommend if you'd like to know more about a prominent founding mother in America. "

" Abigail Adams has always been one of my favorite founding mothers. However, her vibrant life became dull in the pages of this book. I had the book for 2 months from the library and had to finally just turn it back in without finishing it. I would like to try a different biography about Mrs. Adams. Any suggestions? I thought this was really dry reading and at times hard to follow. Lots of odd tangents, they were brought back to her life but some so insignificant that it made the flow of reading falter. "

" Holton's close analysis of her letters yields many interesting facts about both the Adams and the entire Revolutionary period...it was a fascinating, even though long, account. "

" Loved!!! Abigail Adams a way.beyond time!!! "

" Pretty good, but rather slow going. "

" Yes, it is possible to find something new to say about a well-known 18th century American. Enjoyed his take. "

" Wonderful, great read. I felt like I had actually met her and understood her. "

" What a shame that we no longer write letters to document our lives. Adam's life was so well documented through her correspondence that the book is almost an autobiography. "

" I had read John Adams and I thought this oule be an exciting sequel to that. Not quite-too much back and forth. I couldn't finish it. "

" This gives a more detailed account of Abigail's family as well as her marriage and children. I liked it but I like histories. "

" Abigail Adams was America's first feminist and all-around a super cool lady. This is a well-written biography that shows her tendency toward service and her business savvy. "

" Tedious at times, but filled with little gems. Did you know that John and Abigail's daughter Nabby lived for a time on a farm in Eastchester, New York? As soon as the snow melts I will do a local history tour. "

" It is sad we don't learn about this amazing woman in school. She certainly planted the seed for women's rights...she was into feminism before it was even thought of. I highly recommend...the only downfall is a bit repetitious. "

" i'm surprised i liked this book as much as i did, but my girl, abby, is a tough nut and i enjoyed reading about her :) "

" I loved this book. It was very interesting, so much so that I had a hard time putting it down. I don't always have that problem with biographies. I would definitely recommend this - she was a remarkable woman and really deserves more discussion than she's had in MY experience! "

" This book gives Abigail the credit she deserves as one of the founders of our nation. Excellent. "

" This was a wonderful biography that helped understand the Revolutionary War period and later. There is a lot of imfornation on each page, but truly worth reading. "

" Pretty good, but rather slow going. "

" Tedious at times, but filled with little gems. Did you know that John and Abigail's daughter Nabby lived for a time on a farm in Eastchester, New York? As soon as the snow melts I will do a local history tour. "

" I hadn't realized she was the main business person in the Adams family, investing in stocks, selling in the black market, etc. I also hadn't realized she became such a bully as she aged. "

" Good biography! I had the sense that I knew her. She vaguely reminded me of my mother. "

" Excellent! Couldn't put it down. I felt like I knew her personally. I hated it when I was done. I felt like I had to say good-bye to a close friend. "

" Yes, it is possible to find something new to say about a well-known 18th century American. Enjoyed his take. "

" a slog! So difficult to get through. "

" I actually listened to this via audiobook and I think it was more of a joy to hear than it might have been to read though I really could have used a family tree to keep all the relatives straight. That said, it's a great book for any history buff. Next: the John Adams miniseries! "

" This was very well written and I enjoyed it very much! "
