American history has been shaped and molded by a series of badasses who sometimes went against the system and made their own rules, which eventually became the rules for the rest of the country. Many of these rebel badasses were writers, scientists, and athletes, who all contributed new ways of thinking, seeing, and doing things in the country, but there is little doubt who the first true badass was in American history—George Washington.

I don't do book reviews like you keep seeing, as I find that some give too much of the plot away and I personally hate that, as it makes the book not worth reading. I much prefer to take the authors back cover write up as a review as it can either intrigue you enough to read the book of provide you enough information to make you decide that the book is not for you. My review rules are: The more stars, the more I liked it. If there are too many typos or errors the less stars I give If the storyline or plot is poor or contains too many errors, the characters are too weak, the ending lacking something, then the less stars I give. Simple, uncomplicated and to the point without giving anything away. Some of the books I read have been given to me by the author as a pre-release copy and this does not bias my reviews in any way.
This is a light biography of the first American President George Washington, filled with facts and light humor to keep it happy. As I was reading, I entertained a fleeting thought that George and Martha would have been welcomed guests at one of my dinner parties.
I enjoyed reading this for those reasons and to read a work that is well-written, straightforward, and with a touch of humor that is desperately needed these days.
