Reviews

[Taylor Leick · Rating 3 out of 5]

Awesome guy, but weirdly paced and lacked any sort of personal insight into how he thought or felt, besides the fact he was intelligent, ethical, and hardworking.

Fascinating - as much for the exposure to how people thought and wrote about political leaders in that time as for the historical content, but both were informing.

Purchased book after watching John Adams on HBO. I wanted a David McCullough verson and I recognized the name of the author and thought it would be okay. William H. Seward wrote this book in 1849. If you are interested in old speaches, poetry, letters etc. read the book. If you want a story, don't bother. It was a difficult read but Seward did the job in that the reader (who doesn't give up) will really learn about our 6th President.

This book was fascinating in places, particularly in it's discussion of early American foreign and economic policy, but the language is of the time it was written which makes it hard to read. I'm sure there are much better books available on John Quincy Adams than this one which also seems biased very much in his favour.
