A review by brookeje60
Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation by Joseph J. Ellis

2.0

Well, this book was certainly the most frusturating I have ever read. I am still astonished that I got through it. I'm sure that I didn't understand half of it, but nevertheless at the end the book left quite an interesting footprint on my mind. It taught me a different perspective on American History. I hated reading it, but I'm glad I did because it was quite enlightening. It's not that the writing style is bad, but Ellis's vocabulary choice was so frusturating. There was litteraly paragraphs that I could not make out a single word. But, still, interesting enough for a history book.
