The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams by Stacy Schiff

1.0

It's very rare that I start a book that I cannot finish. I was excited to read this for a online book club I am a part of, and after 7 (long) chapters I called it quits. I was expecting a focused narrative on Samuel Adams but it was mostly stories/events that lead to the Revolutionary War that happened near Samuel Adams and that he was occasionally involved in. There is also a lot of speculating how he would feel about certain things because he didn't leave a lot of writings for himself. My number one wish is that it was written chronologically. Each chapter is more subject focused and I found my self often wondering where we were in his life.
