Absolutely Fabulous!!
This book is so fascinating! I have loved reading and learning all about history and Alexander Hamilton. I got it to read before going to see the Broadway play. I am so glad I did! It is well written and provides alot of content and details I never knew. If you love to read and you love history, this is the book for you.

Beautifully written, and beautifully designed
An excellent book. Am giving copies to my 13 year old grandson and his best buddy this very afternoon. Not only is it interesting to read, but the design of the book is stellar. There are many highlighted quotations and photographs to help bring alive the story for young minds. And the rich-looking cover! Made to look like currency, it has foil and feels three-dimensional, with great details. With hats off to the author, and to Raphael Geroni Design, for a gorgeous book inside and out.

Informative Easy to Read Biography
My book club chose this particular biography of Hamilton because it appeared to be an easier read than some. We wanted to read a book about Hamilton before watching the musical together. It helped so much to have read this prior to watching the musical. This book is aimed for a teen audience I think, but it was great for our group of older women.

Bought this prior to seeing Hamilton and it was a great surprise. Not only very informative but very well researched and written. You'll appreciate Alexander Hamilton after setting this one down.

Wonderful additional material at the back and an inspiring
Such an entertaining, accessible, fluid way to really dig into Alexander Hamilton's life and learn what made him tick. Because what made him tick is also what made him die. Wonderful additional material at the back and an inspiring, tear-jerking note from the author about what are our duties to our both our country and Alexander Hamilton himself these days.
