Founding Mothers by Cokie Roberts

Here is hell for the bibliophile: a book just barely good enough. If it were any worse, it would end up in your reject pile. But there is . . . just . . . barely . . . enough there to keep you reading. And so you suffer, not wanting to give up, not wanting to go on . . .

After disliking it from the start, I gave up halfway through. Her anecdotes are interesting, her little commentaries on virtually every single quotation made me batty. There have to be better sources for information about the Founding Mothers. Reject.
