I read the biography at a slow pace, being a teenager, but it got more interesting as I went along. I've always been misled before about John Adams and his accomplishments and how he was raised and his principles... pretty much about Adams in general. I'm writing a long essay about how Adams doesn't recieve enough credit as a founding father -- this book is my backbone. I enjoyed reading about his principles and his ettiquette. Great reading and great essay source.

great book, now if only we could rewrite the text books to make them just as interesting!

It took me a while, but it was well worth it. What an amazing man, and what an amazing biography. I highly recommend it.
