This is a fun, snappy, snarky book featuring fun drawings* and fun (or not so fun) facts about First Ladies. I've been reading presidential books for awhile and some of these I hadn't even heard of. There's a lot of fun lines and quips in this, albeit I was too lazy to bookmark them and frankly, there were many. Some ladies had sad lives, others were too ill and/or depressed to do much. Then you compare those to the go-getter ladies who were awesome...and usually followed up by a more "traditional" first lady, sigh. But regardless of who's being covered, it was a great fun read. Wives who never made it to the White House also get a brief page apiece.
- albeit the First Lady who crocheted a lot is shown knitting....I gotta mention that.
Four stars for me. Fun read!
