John Adams
by David McCullough
Fantastic! McCullough is a captivating writer and relies heavily on journals and letters of Adams and his family/friends. A truly inspiring story of an American President that I knew little about prior to reading the book. McCullough is prone to making broad statements of Adams' character based on little, but for the sake of the story it works. Also provides an intriguing look into the life of Jefferson and his eccentric spending habits (which I also knew little to nothing about). This book has inspired me to learn more about past presidents and brush up on my American history. Looking forward to seeing how the book translates to the screen in the HBO special.
