Arrived as part of Firegirl's VBB from PokPok. Thanks!

I rarely give 10's, but this book is one of the best biographies I've read. Morris does a great job of illuminating Roosevelt's early life, showing his strengths and foibles. I've always had an interest in this larger-than-life figure, but didn't have a good feel for his background (other than he was a sickly child, went West where he became strong, and led the Rough Riders up San Juan Hill.) The man was a force of nature. It made me tired, just reading about how much he would accomplish in one day.

Highly recommend this book. I've started reading the sequel Theodore Rex about his time as President.

Reserved for Firegirl's Bio/Memoir VBB.

This book is going into my "Nonfiction Book Box" for someone else to enjoy.

2010 THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE - RELEASE

One of my favorite Roosevelts. I'll either read this or pass it on to my brother who loves history.

Off to a new reader!
