A review by jmtaylor1981
Coolidge by Amity Shlaes

3.0

I love US Presidential history, I feel like learning about the best & worst of this country's leaders can help one to determine where this country is headed. I was hoping this be up there with David McCullough's Adams, or Ron Chernow's Washington, or A. Scott Berg's Wilson but it wasn't even close. I could not get past Shlaes' writing style. And, because of that, I could not invest in the story as much as I wished. 

That being said, nearly a century after his death, Coolidge is often an overlooked American President; Shlaes deserves thanks for helping us know and understand the 30th President of the United States.
