I love biographies,and I don't disagree with the pulitzer committee on this one, it's good.
Great overview of TR’s life and rise to Presidency. Truly excellent biographical work wing wonderful narrative and lots of depth.
This was probably the most detailed thoroughly researched historical biography that I have ever read. I really enjoyed it. Teddy was such a fascinating man and Morris was perfectly able to capture that. I look forward to reading the next two books.

I just listened to a 25 hour biography of Theodore Roosevelt and he isn’t even president yet. You would think that would make this book tedious. This is one of the most well-written and interesting books I have ever read. I will for sure be reading the next two books in this series.
I already reviewed this one but through a complicated set of circumstances seem to have done so on Cindy's account. Still not sure how that happened... but here is was:
Technically I'm still in the midst of this 800-pager, but it's going to have to go incredibly wrong to unstar itself. Good history is only good history if it's well told, and this is that.
Just shared the role of Teddy with 3 other people in a play. Idon't see any other way it could be done - not schizophrenia, just level of activity.
(I don't like to go partisan in a book review, but while I fully understand Sen. McCain's hero worship of TR, you sir, to paraphrase a line from another campaign, are no Theodore Roosevelt.)
His 150th Birthday is Monday, Oct. 27, by the way. (Roosevelt's, I mean.) Celebrate! Read an entire book and then write one! Fell a bear then preserve thousands of acres of forest! Spar with a prizefighter during your lunch hour! And you have to do all of these things, not just one of them.
