If I am to be completely honest, the only reason I chose to read this book in the first place was because of the musical. Once I started it, however, I couldn't stop. Chernow expertly shapes the life of Alexander Hamilton into a detail-rich narrative that captures readers from the first page. He illustrates Hamilton's gusto, cockiness, and compassion beautifully, allowing the reader to live the events alongside him.
It is a must-read for all!

This is one of the best books about a political figure I've ever read (listened to), if not THE best. It's incredibly dynamic. There were no parts that I wanted to skip over. I think if I read a print version it actually would have moved swiftly for a 800+ pg door-stopper. The narration was excellent. I would recommend either format. Clearly my decision to pick up this book was inspired the popularity of, and my obsession with, the little musical this book inspired. If there were no connection to HAMILTON, it would be an outstanding piece of work on its own merit! Read this book!

The book that started it all - and it's brilliant! It's a well-written, thoroughly-engaging tour de force of political biography.
