John Adams - A Joy to Know

When I first read this book many years ago, I fell in love with John Adams. Stone brought to life not only this most honorable of our founding fathers, and his beloved wife Abigail, but other "characters" of our nation's revolutionary history such as Samuel Adams, a rabble-rouser who was afraid to ride horses. So many intimate details of John and Abigails's life together were brought to this novel that you feel as though you know and love them both. You can't go wrong with this one.

It's so romantic

"Those Who Love" got me hooked on the saga of John and Abigail Adams. Thiers was a true love match that endured through joy and pain, triumph and trajedy. Stone's sprawling novel follows the pair from thier spirited first meeting, through the hellish American Revolution, and into the turbulent White House years. A fantastic read.

A timeless love story that relates to American history

For Those Who Love was a timeless love story that relates to American history. When you read this story, you will not be able to put it down. It tells you about historical events that happened in Boston during Abigail's life and how our country was formed. It was a beautiful story that a person who likes romantic novels could read, or one that a person interested in history could read. I personally fell in love with the Adams'.

Warm and insightful look at John and Abigail Adams

Irving Stone gives us a look at the American Revolutionary period and the writing of the Constitution in this book about the relationship of John and Abigail Adams. His attention to the details of life in that era help us to a greater understanding of what it was all about.

Wonderful

Irving Stone transports you back into time. You feel as if you knew Abigail Adams as well as a next door neighbor. It was hard to put down.
