Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow
5.0
It didn’t make me dancy dance to hip hop tunes, only when I listened to the musical while reading. Loved it, at times a bit too detailed (I mean the whiskey revolt was nice to know about but damn I could have gotten the gist in a couple pages not a whole chapter).
Anyhow- I felt truly engrossed in the story and his life and was very interested in policy and politics at that point in time. I would definitely recommend it, for 890 pages it is was as captivating a read (for the most part) as any good fiction piece. I got attached, and I cried when the inevitable went down in the last chapter. Just like with the musical. A true nerd.
I’m now inspired to read more biographies!! 4.5/5
