This autobiography could have been so much better, but Mrs Roosevelt seems to have written it for herself. It is filled with things I believe only a few people would be interested in. The book is filled with sentences like "In May we moved to Albany with servant A and B. In September we moved back to New York, and got new servants C, D, and F. In October we went to Montreal and I met Mrs G and Mrs H. In December we had Mr and Mrs I's child J with us." I have never read a book with so many exclamation points! At times there can be sentences after sentences ending with exclamation points! Annoying!

Some information shared was interesting, but I think I'll stick to biographies instead of autobiographies, when it comes to First Ladies. This book ended before she became one. So many things happened to Eleanor Roosevelt even during the years before her District days, but she jumped over the important parts, or the parts I would have been interested in. To be honest, why would I care about the eldest three kids having a cough at the same time?
