"I really looked forward to reading this book. I really wanted to like it. Unfortunately, although Harry Truman was a prolific writer, he didn't say much. I got through the whole book, but for the most part it was very boring with little glimmers of worthwhile information. The main thing that I learned about Truman was that he expected Bess to write him daily and he was very disappointed if he didn't receive a letter."
"I really like this book and enjoyed the intriciate revealing of the Trumans relationship through their letters. It also told alot about Harry ... how he tried and failed at several careers until he hit upon politics. (Wow alot like GW only Harry was more honest and sincere. )"
"No book has created a deeper reverence in me for Harry Truman than this book did. My mother was homebound for several years due to health problems. During that time she read books about each of the U.S. presidents and their wives. This was one that she recommended and I LOVED it. It is a compilation of letters written from President Truman to his wife Bess. I'll be honest, when I used to see pictures of them I thought, What did he see in her? But after reading this book, he was soooo in love with her, and that never changed. It really highlights his enduring ability to love, not just his wife, but his many friends and his daughter (who recently passed away.)
I think it gives a lot of insight into the quality of person that he was. He was a man of deep character. If I could marry any historical figure I'd marry him. There are some amazing quotes. And it has turned out to be a fitting book for me to have read considering that I live in Missouri!! I'll make it to Independence one of these days to go to his presidential library and love every minute of it."
