Can someone look this over

The book Eleanor Roosevelt: A Personal and Public Life by William Youngs has many strengths and weaknesses. The strengths made the book clearer, easy to understand, and a delight to read. However, the weaknesses, made the book confusing and hard to follow. First, the book can be understood by virtually anyone. Youngs simply just told the story of Eleanor Roosevelt’s life. His presentation and writing style was great, and it helped me follow the story. Next, Youngs was not bias. He simply just told the life of Eleanor Roosevelt; both the good parts and the parts that she probably did not want anyone to know. Youngs simply gave us a balanced look at Eleanor’s life. He used many different sources for the book, not just what Eleanor told him. He had many different people oral account of Eleanor’s life, which helped me get a feel of what people thought of her. I would definitely read more books by Youngs, if written in the same style as this book.



I believe that the major weakness of this book was that it was too short. The book was very short and it could have given more details about her life. The book was great but it would have been better if it had explained more details. For instance, what did Eleanor do when she discovered that Franklin had cheated on her again? What happened to Lucy Mercer? These were just a couple of questions that the book did not go into details about. Also, the illustration took away from the glory of the book. It explained nothing that was going on in the book, and should be at the end of the book, not in the middle. The major weaknesses of the book were that it was not long enough and it could have told us more about Eleanor Roosevelt’s life.



In conclusion, I think that Eleanor Roosevelt was a great woman. She did many things to help women and minorities. Eleanor was a smart and intelligent woman who just wanted a peaceful world for all of us. People admired Eleanor simply because she cared about people. It did not matter if you were rich or poor, she would show you respect, and I admire her for that. Eleanor had a tough childhood, but she overcame it and became an American heroine. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about the life of Eleanor Roosevelt. This book has a historical value, because it tells us about the life of one of the greatest ladies of all time.
