Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow
3.0
It took a long long long time to get through this which is a bummer. There were complete chapters on how our modern day financial system was born that didn't exactly make it a page turner. However, the man Hamilton's portrait was completely immersive. I couldn't imagine what life was like back then when you didn't come from money, and money constantly haunted him his entire life always having to make as much an effort to appear and be divorced from it. Always broke, always spending, always working.
I want to read another one though, because Alex was not to be found if you know what I mean. Alexander Hamilton, definitely, but I read a Ulysses Grant bio and it was truly an immersive understanding of what it meant to be alive with responsibility at the time, I never disappeared into this like that. Good read, but read better bios.
