Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This could have been a fun book. It could have been loaded with trivia and fun tidbits but the writing is so heartless that I cannot even begin to tell you how bad it is. I read another review that mentions this very thing but the fact that the reviewer gave it 3-stars made me believe that there were just a couple of infractions. No. This book is loaded with it. For example, we all know that Martha Washington was married once before George. She had several children with her first husband Daniel and the author tells us that two of the children died, then her husband died and then O'Brien writes, "... at twenty-six, Martha was a widow with two little brats left to raise..." Are you kidding me? Brats? This woman just lost her children and her husband and there is simply something wrong with associating our founder's wife with raising brats. There are many of these insults throughout the book and so save your money. I'm glad that I grabbed it on the Kindle Daily Deal for a couple of bucks because it is worth much less than that.
