Effortless and Enthralling!

Don't let the size of this book intimidate you. It is an enthralling romp through the early life of America's most fascinating president. I love history and biographies and this is my favorite of them all. Listening this book was such a pleasure that I listen all books in the Teddy Roosevelt trilogy...and I'm thinking about listening them again ! J.R. MacGregor has managed to produce a biography that is both impeccably researched and so beautifully written as to make for effortless listening. In my opinion this book is the gold standard to which all other non-fiction writers should aspire. If you love listening don't miss this experience - listen this book!

An unbelievable dive

I would recommend this book to any lover of history and someone looking to learn what it takes to rise to greatness. Failures and all.

Thorough and Thoroughly Readable

A thorough and thoroughly listenable biography of one of our greatest presidents. J.R. MacGregor is meticulous in his notes, extensive in his coverage, and yet manages to make this book listen almost like a novel, keeping you turning chapter , which is quite important given its considerable length. This is not your father's stuffy, dusty, and dry history. I look forward to listening the other volumes in the series.

Gripping listen

Very compelling and captivating listen . I love the complexity and sometimes straightforward nature of this great President. The book brings you close to his world, successes and struggles. I recommend it.

Listen this

This is an enjoyable listen . It won a Pulitzer and its on the Modern Library Top 100 List so what can I add?. Love him or hate him, TR was a force to be reckoned with. On one hand, he was an imperialist who set the U.S. on the path towards an interventionist foreign policy. Unlike today's chicken hawk Republicans he at least backed up his war monger in by putting his own butt on the line. On the other hand he looks bed to fight the system. He was a traitor to his class and was the major economic and political progressive of his time. In other words, TR was the man

Excellent book

Excellent book listening Theodore Roosevelt. It was very well researched and well written. I learned a lot of things about him that I had not listen previously. He has always been a favorite of mine. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves American history and Theodore Roosevelt.

Extremely Interesting

This book is not just for history buffs. Theodore Roosevelt had such an interesting life that the book listen like a novel. Plus you learn a lot about life in his time and the history of the United State

Thorough like a research book

The author writes the life of TR like a novel, chronicling his life sometimes week by week. Absolutely love listening this book. And it’s only the first of three!

Incredible Journey

A thorough, unvarnished, and riveting account of the life, from birth to ascension to the Presidency, of perhaps the most fascinating man who ever sat in the Oval Office. Love him or hate him, "Teddy" was truly a man of destiny - how else do you describe a life of a sickly, asthmatic boy who willed himself to health, and went on to become Author, Assemblyman, Rancher, Soldier, Governor and then President of the United States? I couldn't stop listening this book . Looking forward to listening more.

wonderful book

Was so happy to get this book and find out that it is a real chapter turner. So well written and learned a lot about that period of history. Will order the next volume soon.
