The New Big Book of U.S. Presidents: Fascinating Facts about Each and Every President, Including an American History Timeline Reviews

  • C. Conner

    Could have been better had the author done the following:

    Fact checking - In the War of 1812 the British burned parts of Washington including the President's House (White House) in August of 1814, not April as indicated in the book.

    Grammar - Author began an inordinate number of sentences with subordinate clause and had errors such as ending sentences with prepositions.

    Punctuation - Several formatting errors and misspelled words.

    Subjectivity - Author added personal comments in unnecessary places when presenting the facts would have sufficed.

    Overall the book is an interesting and informative read for someone wanting to find out general facts about our Presidents.

    Worst presidential book

    The preview didn't justify the shallow information of each President listed.

    Butter go to Wikipedia. If this book listed for 99 cents. Then it might worth a purchase and becoming 2 stars.

    Exactly the type of overview I was looking for- not only about the presidents, but the time period they served in, the struggles the country faced, and other important events that happened during that time.
