The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris
5.0
I really enjoyed this biography of Roosevelt's early life until the presidency. Morris is an excellent writer. He does a good job dropping you into the scenes of Roosevelt's life. The book is helped by the varied and interesting life it documents. From life as a cowboy in Dokota, to fighting the saloons of New York City, I never found this book to be boring,
Roosevelt was truly a unique, brilliant, and very interesting man. One nice thing about this volume was that I sympathized with a lot of the causes that Roosevelts was fighting for, like eliminating corruption from government.
My main complaint is that he repeatedly uses sexualized language in his descriptions, in unnecessarily and sometimes very weird ways. I believe there was also a bit of profanity.
