This is the way to learn history! This is real and difficult to put down. One of the best books I have read.

What a way to learn history! Why do we continue to teach history through a poorly written textbook where only facts are presented. Students need to know that these were real people working and struggling to live their lives during their time in history. Most of us will confess that we didn't like history very much when we were students but have only learned to appreciate it as we grow older. Educators need to put the history textbook on the shelf and immerse our students in literature such as John Adams by David McCullough.

I read the biography at a slow pace, being a teenager, but it got more interesting as I went along. I've always been misled before about John Adams and his accomplishments and how he was raised and his principles... pretty much about Adams in general. I'm writing a long essay about how Adams doesn't recieve enough credit as a founding father -- this book is my backbone. I enjoyed reading about his principles and his ettiquette. Great reading and great essay source.
