2.0 out of 5 stars Mixing political slants with biographies never a good idea.

A much better book about the Roosevelts is Edith Kermit Roosevelt: Portrait of a First Lady by Sylvia Morris. Hissing cousins is not as well documented nor written. I quit reading 'Hissing' about a third of the way into the book, and I usually finish books. Obviously the writer is a Democrat and wrote the book looking through his Left Wing prism. Ms. Morris's book is much more even handed and a better overall read.

2.0 out of 5 stars A slog to get through

Although I learned a lot about history from this book, it was slow reading. At times, it would get so caught up in political details, that it would stray from the focus on the two Roosevelt women. It could have been a lot shorter. This was a book club pick for my book club. Most of the women did not finish it. My stubbornness forced me to finish it. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to read

I felt this book was very had to follow because the author jumped back and forth in time constantly. Sometime 20 year gaps in the same paragraph.
