Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation by Joseph J. Ellis

2.0

While in the longer perspective I realized Founding Brothers was a tad interesting and informative, this was one of those summer reading books that was way over my head. Each chapter was gruelling, and honestly I think Ellis kept repeating the same things throughout. The book would be much shorter if he hadn't. It used a lot of stupid big words that did expand my vocabulary but also made the book somewhat...pretentious. It was ok.
