"Thomas Jefferson, Rachel & Me" has gotten a lot of 4- and 5-star reviews on Goodreads and Amazon. But there have been some less enthusiastic reviewers/raters. Here's my favorite, from "Kindle Lover," which was posted recently on Amazon. Kindle Lover gave it only 2 stars, bringing the book's average rating down to a more realistic 4.5. I'm surprised it took so long before a review like this appeared:

After reading this book cover to cover, I was interested to go and read the authors bio. I felt that this book came from a very bias place and that the author twisted history and used the power of Thomas Jefferson to sell this book. The author took a historical figure and brought him to life in the 21st century with the sole purpose of focusing our attention on the inequality of race in the modern world. I gave the book two stars because I felt that the character of Thomas Jefferson was poorly developed. The supporting characters stories were developed in starts and fits throughout the book, but no real flow to the overall development. The only reason I continued to read this one to the end was that I want to see how it was all tied to together in the end - and that was to be blunt not very well. The author shows talent, but when you invoke the name of one of our Founding Fathers and the writer of The Decleration of Independence you need to be prepared to preform on a higher level and this author did not prove himself equal to the task.
