I am a history major and I love US History and so I was really excited when someone recommended this book to me! It was a pretty easy read and was very interesting! This book gave talked about all the US presidents till George W Bush. I was expecting to learn a little more about each president but for the most part I was pleasantly pleased with the information provided. I was able to learn a lot about presidents who I didn’t know anything about which was neat! I really enjoyed that the book didn’t seem biased about certain presidents, so I was able to decide on my own opinions of each president.

This was okay. It explained all the backgrounds of the presidents and I mostly know all of the president's names by now. It took a while to get through it but it was pretty good I guess. Kind of in the middle.

This book's brief descriptions give too little detail about the great leaders of our nation, hence the two stars - may just be a generous two stars at that.
