The First Conspiracy

I struggled with a love hate relationship with this book. I loved the story line and enjoyed how much I felt like I was learning about Washington and the dynamics of build up to and fight of the Revolutionary War. Having said that, there were a lot of times it felt slow, like there wasn't as much going on to justify how long the book was. But maybe that's the point? That conspiring to overthrow a leader is part of the slow game? Either way, I'm glad I read this one, but it's not one l come to again.

2.5 Factually interesting but written a bit too dramatic for me.

At times it seems like there is too much extra information, which is typical of non-fiction books like this. Normally I like that, but I guess I am less interested in the Revolutionary War.
I do like the timeline of the book. It starts with Washington's commission and ends basically with the signing of the Declaration of Independence. I didn't realize there was so much happening before the Declaration of Independence. I'm glad I read it, but I probably won't be seeking out any more Revolutionary War books.
