I had to read this book for school and I was pleasantly surprised by it. Even though it is non-fiction, it reads like a novel. It kept my attention better than any textbook would and I will most definitely read it again for pleasure!

A great Pulitzer prize winning book. It develops the parts of the history of our founding that have been missing or forgotten. Goes into the thought processes of the "founding Brothers" ( Not fathers) and how they handled their relationships and what made them tick. From Washington to Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Hamilton and even gos into Burr and the duel. Really recommend it.

I think this book has some interesting stories about the men who are referred to as our founding fathers. Some chapters are dry and reiterate information from others books I have read. The first story about the duel of Hamilton and Burr gave me knowledge I was unaware of. The friendship of Jefferson and Adams was discussed at length which I read about in two other books.Overall the book is worth the time.
