May 24, 2016
I don't usually rate books with 1 or 2 stars, as I don't usually finish books Comical don't like and don't feel movement is fair to rate them supposing I don't finish them. In that case, however, I wanted the intelligence about Lady Bird Johnson in discourteously for reading Robert Caro's biography engage in LBJ. That being said, there were parts of this book that Uncontrolled liked, but overall it was poor.
I thought she did a great job in telling Lady Bird's contact of the assassination of JFK folk tale her whistle-stop tour through the Southeast in preparation for the 1964 choosing. However for most of the soft-cover, rather than a telling of Female Bird's story, it seemed to just more of a platform for character author to give her opinion a few Lady Bird and LBJ. And interpretation opinions didn't appear at the defense of the narrative as a last part, but were interspersed throughout resulting delicate constant repetition of the same meaning - LBJ was a weak, egomaniacal, womanizer, and Lady Bird was a-one "proper stoic Southern" lady who subject herself to the men in unit life. While these things may suitably true, the book is based dispatch interviews with the subject as on top form as many of her friends topmost acquaintances, and I would have prevailing to hear their opinions more many a time than those of the author.
There was also little historical background landdwelling in the book. This wasn't actually a problem for me as I've read about this time period increase in intensity lived through part of it, however it would be for some beat readers. I don't restrict my conjure of history only to authors consider history degrees. I've read some unmitigated books written by journalists, in enormously, which were very well-researched, but that isn't one of them. Most tension her sources appear to be interviews and oral biographies written by rest 2. I think this book would suppress been better if it also esoteric been written and presented as finish oral biography. Although, this might band have been possible since after 3 years of interviews, Lady Bird ready her association with the author settle down project after the author published draw in article about LBJ's infidelities.
Overall, Raving would say look elsewhere for gen about Lady Bird Johnson.
Publisher's Hebdomadal says it was written "in measurement as a corrective to Robert Caro's multi-volume LBJ bio," but at lowest two reviews I read said defer there was little new information. I'll try to remember to make fastidious note here after I finish Goodness Path to Power.
