You could read this book without having read (or listened to) the first part (but then, why deny yourself the pleasure?) as Caro recaps the most important parts and some sections will sound very familiar in the early parts of the book. Was this book going to be the link which took us on to the more exciting times? Not a bit of it. I was torn though - the second book in a series is not often as good as the first and it struck me that these might not be the most exciting years in Johnson's life.
It's only a matter of days since I finished listening to The Years of Lyndon Johnson: The Path to Power, the first part of Robert A Caro's definitive work on the President and despite having just spent over forty hours on the book I wanted to learn more. Summary: I did wonder how this book could live up to the 5* The Years of Lyndon Johnson: The Path to Power.
