4.0

I’ve just finished Bunker Hill and it reminds me of why I appreciate GoodReads. A GR friend recommended this book to me and I picked up my copy at Renaissance Book Shop at the airport in Milwaukee about 2 1/2 years ago, (after searching through my TBR list on GR, of course)! It has taken me a while to get to Bunker Hill, but I have read 2 of Philbrick’s books in the meantime since I got this book and I’m definitely a fan of his work. Philbrick writes very well and his books are always interesting and I can tell by the lengthy bibliography in this small book that he definitely does his research and knows his stuff. Sometimes (probably too often) history can get boring and bogged down in details , but I’ve given at least 4 stars to all the Nathaniel Philbrick books I’ve read.

So, thanks to my GR friend for turning me on to Nathaniel Philbrick, and especially this book. Bunker Hill was an entertaining and informative read and I recommend it and Nathaniel Philbrick’s books - he’s a good writer.
