A review by horanjack77
Theodore Rex by Edmund Morris

4.0

Theodore Roosevelt is a complicated historical figure, who holds many beliefs that we would not agree with today, and doing a biography on anyone requires focusing in heavily on that person. That being said Edmund Morris does a great job in his book of covering the scope, and contextualizing both the good and bad of Roosevelt.
The book is long, but does not feel like a slog. I found myself invested in it, and the figures in this book are extremely well rendered. It is worth a read.
