The Lost Constitution Audiobook

" Quite a bit of causing, but a good book. I enjoyed. "

" The author loses focus of the historical drama and tries to jazz it up with sex, but the premise was promising. "

" I liked this one better than Harvard Yard. But was still a little slow at parts for me. "

" Set in New England. Search for an annotated copy of a first draft of the constitution. Flows back and forth between 1787 and Modern Day which in the beginning makes the book easy to put down~which I could not do at the end. "

" This was a great book. I lent it to both my mother and my father and they both enjoyed it. "

" I had high hopes for this book after the first few chapters, but ended up really disappointed. The premise is good and the historical detail is gratifying, but there are far too many characters to keep straight. The pay-off of what is actually on the first draft of the Constitution was not "sexy" enough to drive the story and keep me engaged through the 752 pages. By the end, I was glad it was over. "

" Kept me interested throughout. I liked the way the author weaved the historical and the present day aspects together. Ending was a bit of a surprise! "

" a little too long but very good "

" I gave up. But it didn't suck real bad; I just lost interest, and the heavy-handed Second Amendment stuff kind of squicked me. "

" rare-book/mss. dealer; excellent history interwoven but main character just ever so slightly implausible "

" I eally liked this book. Another one that I didn't want to put down. I love this typs of book - where something from the past is beaing searched for (or has been found) that may change the way our world is now! I am definitely going to get more of this author's books! "

" Oh my goodness. This book started out with such promise and potental. But after 750+ pages, I just about lost it. The story was overly long and drawn out and didn't really come to any sort of satisfying conclusion to match the build-up. "

" I am trying to get into American history...not a bad start for learning something about New England and the founding fathers. "

" This book was about 2-300 pages too long! It lost me in the middle, but picked up again at the end. "

" Great adventure, and if you like American history, you'll love it. "

" Great Historical read, But too convoluted a plot. A little overdone, but an excellent read into the minds of those who wrote oour constitution! Balanced on the second ammendment overall. "

" I love William Martin's historical stories! The way he weaves the past and present to come together at the end is always skillfully done, and this is no exception! "

" This book SUCKED! Full of caricatures, not characters, complete Deus ex Machina type of plot with far too many coincidences. A shitty version of the DaVinci code. "

" The basic premise is a bit weak, but I love the aspect of the story that focuses own the passage of historical artifacts across generations and how it impacted different individuals. His stories are more like Forrest Gump in that the artifact winds through different eras in history. "

" This was the first William Martin book I read and it hooked me on his exceptional writing style, mingling real history with a compelling fictional storyline. His books are quite long and a bit tedious, but truly great works. I encourage folks to give William Martin a try. "

" I got a little confusing, lots of characters to follow "

" It was alright...not as good as his earlier books. "

" I really liked this book although the ending was weak. It alternates between a modern search for a lost version of the US Constitution and the document's opwners through US history which I found interesting. "

" Thought it might be interesting to look at this again in the current climate surrounding the 2d Amendment. Had its moments. "

" Enjoyed it, Liked Cape Cod better. Somewhat difficult to keep track of all the characters, but that did not take away from the story, once I got into it. "

" Another fine work by William Martin, in the great tradition of "Cape Cod." This book is a bit more complicated and the story line goes off in a few hard to follow directions. But, its another great historical adventure! "

" An entertaining enough read. I expect more from published work and the several times I found typos distracted from the reading experience. "

" Great read, this was my first book for this author. I will be tracking down and reading all of his books. "

" This was quite a good book if you like historical fiction with many good human stories wrapped around history at diffent time periods.. "

" Enjoyed it, but not as much as Back Bay. "

" The historical aspect was the only saving grace in this book. The thriller was not so thrilling, the "Nick and Nora" conversation between the two sleuths was a little stale and forced, and the whole thing became just ridiculous in the end. "

" I eally liked this book. Another one that I didn't want to put down. I love this typs of book - where something from the past is beaing searched for (or has been found) that may change the way our world is now! I am definitely going to get more of this author's books! "

" A good historical Fiction. A bit long and drawn out for my taste but overall a good read "

" Great adventure, and if you like American history, you'll love it. "

" this was a grand sweep of history- from the birth of the nation to the present. I'm usually not a history buff, but I enjoyed this! "

" Quite a bit of causing, but a good book. I enjoyed. "

" The author loses focus of the historical drama and tries to jazz it up with sex, but the premise was promising. "

" This book was really fun! If you like American history this is a quick read and has fun( but I don't know if necessarily true) things about the U.S. Constitution. "

" I couldn't finish this book. Not sure why because it is usually the type of book I like. Just not in the mood for it at the time I tried to read it, I guess. "

" It dragged on forever. It's not often I leave a book without finishing it, but I just made it halfway before putting the book down for so long I lost it. "

" loved the idea and the layers of history. An action-packed story. BUT too many characters! Couldn't keep track and in the end, I stopped caring... "
