Pretty much rants from a statistician...

... w/ only superficial understanding of psychology, and even less interest or concern for mechanism. Too pompous, arrogant, and yes BIASED to be entertaining, except for like-minded self declared profets!! Ha, ha! He does illustrate his own thesis that common sense isn't that common! Deleted the book from device, LOL.

thoroughly enjoyed it

Revisado: 06-28-18

Dray and Kamoi did it again by painting a credible and deeply personal view of one of the most influential figures of the American experiment! Too rarely we hear from the women who lived through and made possible the revolution and this is a deeply engaging and intimate portrayal! Told through the honest, thoughtful, and compassionate eyes of Mrs. Hamilton, almost 100 years of history come to life, and we learn that much has changed in the way of social mores and daily comforts but much more has remained the same in the way of politics and human nature.

a most extraordinary biography

Revisado: 01-11-18

much enjoyed this exhaustive, insightful, and engaging perspective on one of the most revered historical personality; came away with the thought that sadly, "they just don't make 'em like him anymore"

Enjoyed every moment

Revisado: 11-26-17

Moving fast through mostly accurate historical events that shaped the US, tells the story of a founding father through a woman's eye; a woman who is idealistic and pragmatic, having to meet her purpose in an era devoid of birth control, when half the women died in child birth, and many men were victims of violence, alcohol and uncontrollable diseases. The narrator is exceptional, rendering each character recognizable with tones infused with defining attitudes and passions. Enjoyed every moment.

a classic

Revisado: 06-11-17

Never tire of Bronte's sensitive prose, and of Stevenson's soothing voice. Not to mention the happy ending.

Dated and preachy

Revisado: 04-15-17

It may have been useful once; attempts to be inspirational but overuses 'always' and 'never', which on second thought....Overlooks the power of context; in my view, rather than thoughtful and instructive is preachy.
