I'll admit I'm only on page 16, but so far the most incredible thing I've read in Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals is that she spent TEN YEARS writing the book. Yikes! I understand how she could become engulfed in the project, though - and pouring over hundreds of diaries, letters, and newspaper articles seems to have given her a great deal of insight into the already-widely-profiled Lincoln.
So, I'm sure it'll be a great book... I'm just not sure I'm going to finish it before the end of the year.
