“This is great as a history book, written in the form of a novel. It is non- fiction, biography of John Adams. As a bonus you will learn a lot about America's other founding fathers and American war of independence. David McCollough's writing is very engaging and pumped with that golden American patriotism and pride. This should be part of your collection.”

“The is one of the best biographies that I have read. It is amazing how much I learned from this book. We southerners tend not to get a lot of Adams in school.”

“David McCullough is one of the finer writers of our generation. John Adams reads more like a fictional story than a biography. His storytelling is captivating and it does justice to this American hero. It is somewhat of a long read, coming in at nearly 700 pages. If you have patience to get through it, you will learn everything you need to know about John Adams and what impact he had on our country, even to this day.”

“A complete turn-on to American history. David McCullough is an incredible writer and his telling of John Adams' life is remarkable. A great work for historians and non-historians; very accurate in its telling.”
