Fortunately, what there is, is thorough! So this will be a Very Brief Post. *** John Adams David McCullough This was a fascinating and in-depth look at the life of John Adams, and I highly recommend it. I think I would have liked John Adams very much had I been alive then, and Abigail as well. I really enjoyed the many, many excerpts shared from Adams&#8217; letters and diary entries &#8211; it really brought him to vibrant life. *** Friends Divided: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson Gordon S Wood Okay, this one I had mixed feelings about. It was great to start out, and then it became the sloggiest of slogs in the middle. I almost didn&#8217;t finish, but I pushed on through, and it did pick up again toward the latter part of the book. The slogfest was the in-depth stuff about Jefferson&#8217;s and Adam&#8217;s politics, which was just honestly too technical and not presented in a way I found accessible and interesting personally.","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/evaseyler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Screen-Shot-2019-11-26-at-10.49.40-201x300.png"}
