Loved this book. Will definitely read more by this author.

Found this book fascinating - I love history but find the typical history book quite dry but not this one. I learnt a lot about the founding of America - not the cut and dried simple story that is learnt in elementary school. It probably helped that I had read the John Adams biography by David McCullough first mind, as that filled me in with an awful lot of facts that I was ignorant of.

Really enjoyed this book although it took me a long time to read it. I read it in three stages over 18 months. I knew nothing about John Adams before I stared and learned a lot about the man. Thomas Jefferson didn't come out of the book very well though.

Wish Goodreads let you give half stars - I would give this 3 1/2 stars however this is not my favorite genre so that undoubtedly affects my view. I also am more curious about what happens after the book ends but that is also an unfair expectation of what is YA book.

Fascinating
