I always enjoyed reading Ann Landers and I have read other books written about her especially the one written by her daughter Margo Howard, so I when I discovered this book hiding in my collection I was eager to read it.
This one was more scholarly than I expected, really more like a sociology text than a biography, but it was very interesting. It tracks the trends of our society very well; Ann Landers was right in the thick of it all.
If you were ever a fan of Ann Landers and are interested the burning issues during her reign you will really like this book.
