I really wanted to like this book. I appreciate all of the research that went into it but the writing is hard to follow. I feel like it is intended for people who already have a very good understanding of the events leading up to the Revolutionary War. I have a doctorate and had to stop to look up many words along the way. I wish it painted a more straightforward picture of the time.

Extremely insightful. I didn’t know much about Samuel Adams beforehand. It was a great perspective on the Revolution. However, it was difficult to follow. I had to be extremely engaged in what I was reading or I’d easily be distracted.
