Phillip Ball’s Reviews > Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power > Status Update

This is a great book so far Meacham builds a good story while telling the facts of Jefferson"s career.

I was just thinking about a lot of misconceptions there are about Jefferson.
Many who notice my book have mentioned that he cheated on his wife with Sally Hemmings, who probably had many of the same features as his wife, being her half sister.
Hemmings was his wife's slave it was only years after his wife died that Jefferson became interested in Hemmings.

Really good. Meacham is informative without being boring or without just regurgitating facts. He keeps it interesting.

Very good. Jefferson is so intriguing , because he was a contradiction, as most of us would find ourselves to be with a little soul searching.

Liking this book. I am very intrigued by Jefferson and his complex mind, as well as the many dualities in his life.
