A Brilliant Solution: Inventing the American Constitution by Carol Berkin

4.0

This book does a good job of taking you through the creation of the Constitution and offered good insight into the processes and people that were involved. However, my complaint would be that at times it was too detailed, in the sense that it just got repetitive. Three pages could have been said in one. Good writing, especially for something historical like this, is concise. The chapters in the book were SO LONG, they felt never ending...

All in all, it stayed interesting enough that I didn't zone out too much, and it is a good resource for learning about the Constitutional convention in a way that is not dry or bland.
