This read like a history book or a documentary in written form. But maybe that is just because I haven’t read a lot of biographies. I still enjoyed reading about the history of not just Allene, but about America and the other parts of the world. It’s amazing the people she spent time with. I also enjoyed picturing the author trolling through all of the historical documents to be able to follow these people in the past.
I loved how detailed this story was, the descriptions really were what made this book for me. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that enjoys US history and wants a lot of detail.
