gkarazsia 's review for:
Alexander Hamilton
by Ron Chernow
Chernow lays out a well researched and well argued case for Alexander Hamilton. Besides that, his writing is impeccable. In the past, Hamilton has been written about in very different (sometimes not positive) ways and it was refreshing to get this perspective.
Many reviews have stated this book is "exhaustive," but I would rather state it more thorough than anything else. I use that word because I felt the author laid out the details and the evidence in a very engaging way, which caused me to continue to get through this time in shorter of a time than I initially thought.
I gave this book four stars because I felt at many points, the objectivity of the author waned and bordered on lines of an apologetic tone. I could go into further detail but then I fear this review might become exhaustive.
But if the main intent of the book was to instill on the reader a different perspective of Alexander Hamilton, then it definitely succeeded with this reader.
