Sarah's comments from the All Ears Audiobooks group.

I just finished reading American Wife by Curtis Sittenfield. I have enjoyed her novels in the past and had to see what this one was all about!

I have to say I loved this book - couldn't put it down! I felt as though I knew the main character, Alice, personally. I found myself wishing she were real - I enjoyed her personality throughout. Having said that, this novel has made me interested to learn more about Laura Bush seeing as it is loosely based on her life.

The last 100 pages were not as great as the first 400 or so. The story line seemed to dry up - just wasn't as intriguing. I would highly recommend this book. It has also given me a greater appreciation for the former First Lady, and perhaps even her husband! This novel shows that they are human beings, just like the rest of us.
