Lengthy account of Alexander Hamilton's life. Excessive information about other historical figures. Very annoying large inserted quotes and difficult to read grey print. (

It's clear this biography was written for a young adult audience - it keeps a quick, readable face throughout and doesn't dwell on Hamilton's more questionable behavior (like his extramarital affairs). Still, I appreciated how this book offered a concise and succinct look at Hamilton's life. This book would be useful for those new to Hamilton but wanting to do more detailed reading as well as those who just want an overview of the historical figure who inspired a Broadway musical. (

This is an exceptional biographical story of Alexander Hamilton. While it's aimed at teens and young adults, and I haven't fit into those categories for some time, I found myself gripped by the narrative momentum and utterly engrossed in the personal story of this exceptional man. What you realize is that America has always been a fractious land, that disputes between states (should the federal government assume state debts or not?) and between ambitious individuals (Hamilton and Jefferson, Hamilton and Burr), has marked and guided its history from the very beginning. And through it all, Brockenbrough tells a deeply personal tale of love, loss, ambition, heartbreak, and sheer luck, that makes the story far more thrilling than your average history. This is a book I savored and will save to read to my kids when they're slightly older. (
