Critic reviews
"With this excellent biography...Nagel focuses more on the private Adams, utilizing diary entries to provide keen insight into this extraordinary man....The result is a fascinating psychobiography. Highly recommended for all libraries." ( Library Journal)

While this book had decent narration and production values, it is unlikely to enchant readers who do not already have an interest in John Quincey Adams.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
The depth of the research. Too limited to the diaries, and unbalanced.What could Paul C. Nagel have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Read David Mccullough John Adams.Which character – as performed by Jeff Riggenbach – was your favorite?
There was more than one character?Could you see John Quincy Adams being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
No.Any additional comments?
I agree with other reviews that this book lacks scholarship. The author draws conclusions regarding Adams that appear to be difficult transitions. It seemed clear to me that JQA was ADHD. I would have enjoyed more color to the narrative, some context. The limited exposure to the Adams presidency in the book was because Adams chose not to write much about it, not because there is a lack of record.Tedious President
