No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II Audiobook

" Fascinating Portrait of FDR by Doris Kearns Goodwin "

" fascinating account of the complex relationship between franklin and eleanor roosevelt, two of the most influencial people of the 20th century. without them, we may have lost world war II! "

" Well, I finally finished it - and this silly historical book made me CRY at the end! I am either a sap, or Kearns-Goodwin has does it again... Cannot recommend it enough to those who love history. "

" I gave this book five stars, not because it was a fast-moving page-turner, but because when I finished it I felt a new window had been opened for me to a fascinating part of history. I'm very glad I read it. "

" Very informative book about the Roosevelts during WWII. It's not the type of book you can sit down and read from cover to cover. I could only read it in doses, but I learned a lot. If you are not interested in history, I wouldn't recommend this one. However, if you like history books, I would suggest this as a good one. "

" Too detailed to engage me. I love this author, but I am not patient enough to get through this one. "

" I read this right after Team of Rivals. I prefer team of Rivals but still a great read. "

" Excellent review of FDR before and during three terms as President. A great look at the dealings between FDR and Churchhill during WWII. Well written and very educational. Great historical overview of 1935 to 1945. "

" Interesting look at a critical time in our histor and the lives of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Slow in places, fascinating in others. "

" A well written biography of both Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt. You learn their individual strengths and weaknesses and how they complement each other as a couple. The author does a great job keeping the "story" moving with flashbacks and moving back and forth between the two. "

" Wow. how history is suppose to be done. "

" A great book, but not in the same class as Team of Rivals "

" One of the most informative and best written books I have read in many years. So much was packed into each page I had to read it slowly and digest it all. I am a big fan of history and this book taught me a lot. "

" It's taken me awhile to get through this book. Not because it's bad mind you. I enjoy the way it alternates between the interpersonal dramas of Franklin and Eleanor with the social/economic/political upheaval going on at the time. Two more weeks and I'll be done. Yay. "

" really liked this book- "

" I thought team of rivals more fast paced (hah!) but thought this book had so much to impart about history, the individuals and the larger world picture. Recommend "

" Fascinating account of FDR's Presidency, most also his life with Eleanor "

" The homefront during WWII is my favorite area to study and I was pleased to find a lot of tidbits sprinkled in as well as the expected life and times of FDR and Eleanor. I am glad I finally read it. "

" Doris Kearns Goodwin does it again with a great historical biography. "

" Another long and detailed book that makes history come alive! "

" A bit of a reread, but I think I appreciated it more this time. "

" I should not have started this while I was finishing a couple of other books! "
