Alexander Hamilton: The Graphic History of an American Founding Father by Jonathan Hennessey

3.0

I read this in preparation of seeing the musical, hoping for an interesting biographical narrative. What I got instead was a history lesson in the graphic novel format, and, as others have said before me in their reviews here, I‘m not absolutely sure the graphic novel is the best format for this subject. There was a lot of interesting text, and while I liked that quotes were put into speech bubbles of cartoon verions of the historic people who said them, I felt that there was too little narrative non-fiction to warrant the format.
However, the author goes into great detail, enlightening at places some of the facts that I already knew, whereas in other instances he left me confused.
