Book Reviews of John Adams
Book Review: A Greater Appreciation
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me begin by saying that I am no historical scholar, just like most people today. I also admit having very little prior knowledge about John Adams before picking up David McCullough's book. Now after humbly making thiese things known, I must tell you that I truly enjoyed reading this book and gaining a better understanding about who John Adams was and what he did for our nation. His involvement in our independence should be told more than it is. Students today go through school having little understanding about and appreciation for many of the great leaders of our history. I love the way that McCullough ties together the lives of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. These two giants of American history had a relationship that was not without it's weaknesses, but still they managed to hold on to the friendship right up to the unusual end. Intermingled throughout the text was Adam's personal family issues as well. A strong wife stood behind him. A glimpse of the child, youth, and young man who became John Quincy Adams is also found throughout the book. This too is intriguing. I feel most people who choose to read this book will come away with a stronger knowledge and a greater appreciation for our second president and his family.
