Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker: A Novel Audiobook

" I love historical fiction and the subject was so intriguing, but the book just didn't live up to it's description. I can't remember the last time it took me this long to get through a book. It was painful. The end was a bit redeeming, but overall I didn't like it. "

" I enjoyed this storyline and learning more about these historical characters. "

" Although I wanted to love this book, I just can't. It lagged in spots and then skipped over informations I wanted. "

" I kept waiting for something to happen. The author has over 20 other books about quilts and this was the first historical fiction, so a bit dull in style "

" I really, really wanted to like this book, but I just couldn't get in to it. I felt like the author was trying to write a history book with an occasional visit with the main characters. Which is not how I like my fiction. I think it could have been a great story if there was more depth to the characters. I finally just gave up and stopped reading when I realized I was skipping over entire paragraphs. "

" I thought this was poorly written, great idea for a story but was disappointed. "

" Amazing!!!!! Would not be surprised to see this made into a movie!!! A must read. "

" I thought this was a well written and interesting historical fiction, and I'm glad I picked it up at the library on a whim. If you like historical fiction and/or are interested in the life of the Lincoln family then this book is for you. "

" Discovery of home life of the Lincoln's during the war and Mary's struggle after the assassination told in a folksy way. Enjoyed the views of Lincoln's and life of a former slave in Washington during the war. Well researched and told. "

" Very dry, really didn't know who the characters were or there place in the book. I didn't make it past page 50 and I had to end the torture. "

" The best thing about this book was that I learned quite a bit about Mary Todd Lincoln and her life in the White House and after she left. I know it was historical fiction, not nonfiction, which doesn't make everything in it true, but it was a very enjoyable read. "

" This book is different from others I have read by Jennifer Chiaverini. I loved learning about the history and enjoyed Chiaverini's perspective. "

" A little too long and Mrs Lincoln was a real whiner. "

" I was glued to this story! This time period really came alive for me in this book. "

" Disappointing. Read more like a history book than a historical novel, listing off dates and battles or another biography of Mary Lincoln. "

" This book covers an interesting topic and I learned a lot about Elizabeth Keckley and Mrs. Lincoln but I didn't like the style of writing. Since it was a novel, it could have been presented in a more interesting manner. "

" Like one of the previous readers I saw Lincoln. I thought the book was interesting and gave a different perspective. It was correct historically as far as it can be determined. "
