Book Review: Mrs. Lincolns Dressmaker

Mrs Lincoln's Dressmaker by Jennifer Chiaverini 
353 pages 
Rating: I didn't like it.
I started reading this book when I was studying the Civil war in school. I though it was fine, a little boring but it was going along with what I was studying so I thought that was cool. I was reading another book at the time so I never finished it. I recently tried to pick it back up, and found I could not finish it! To me it seemed to be like reading a textbook, I didn't really connect with the main characters or really any of them and most of it was just telling what was going on in the war. If you really love the Civil war and have a ton of patience that go for it. It isn't really poorly written, its just boring. I have fallen asleep numerous times reading this book. I have not finished it yet and I am not sure I am going to, I really like finishing things so I may push through and do it (I only have 100 or so pages left) I am not really interested in what happens to the main character I just want to say I finished it and put it on my bookshelf to stay their forever.
