annkp 's review for:
Alexander Hamilton
by Ron Chernow
A page turner, even though you know how it ends.
I wonder how many Twitter trolls would be dead right now if they had to answer for their words on the dueling grounds in Weehawken at dawn?
As a New Yorker, I grew up in the shadow of Hamilton. But as an adult, I'm amazed at how little I knew about one of my favorite founding fathers. A fabulous study of a fascinating life, and Scott Brick's straightforward narration disappears as you listen, which I think is an indication of a perfect performance.
The book has been on my list of things to read for about ten years--but I've only been managed to really get through big histories/biographies now that I've discovered the beauty of the synced Kindle/Audible bundle. Being able to go back and forth from reading to listening has made it so much easier to digest these sorts of books, where you may want to highlight or check out the notations as you go.
