This book offered an illuminating look into the relationships between the great people who foundes our nation. It made the political tide of the time palpable.

why do teachers make us read this when we can read the exact same stuff out of a text book

I loved this book. It offered insight into particular instances and key events of our nation's beginning. For me, it was suspenseful. I really didn't want to put the book down. I'm a college student and I'm studying history quite a bit. This historical narrative was quite a refreshing course in American history.

I was in the process of looking for some sort of ourline or cliff notes on this book and stumled across this page. Thanks alot...my enthuasiam to read this book has completely vanished...I cant wait to get started...

The book Founding Brothers was a total bore. i don't know why the teachers made us read this stupid book. i too would burn this book if i had the chance. from the first three lines of all the chapters including the preface (the generation) its like a lullaby. I had to force myself to stay awakw and read it. Luckily the Lord helped me thru it cause i definitely could not handle it all on my own. P. S. if you do not have a dictionary (a good one) by your side, you are scewred!!!

Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis was an interesting book, to say the least. I read it for a summer reading project, and I found it very dry in some places while very intruiguing in others. The chapter about the Duel was excellent, as well as the Farewell and the Friendship, but I found the introduction the Generation long and boring, and the Collaberators repeated things over and over. I wouldnt reccomend it for someone who is not a history buff, but overall I liked it and discovered many new facts about the godlike "band of brothers" of the Revolution.
