I had to read this book over the summer for AP US/VA History. I want to point out that I do like to read, so this is the 1st horrifying experience for me. It was overly analyzed and so DRY. History buffs may love the "disturbingly long details" that the author presents, but definitely not me!
After reading it for like an hour, I couldn't even tell what the last sentence I just read was about.

All I know is that I had to read it this summer for AP History and it has to be the absolute worst book I have ever read in my entire life. It is so utterly boring...I am only on Chapter 3 and already I am completely sick of it...I just don't understand how any teacher could possibly assign such a horrible book to high school students. Everything I read I just kept thinking to myself "Get to the point already!" Completely redundant book. Uuugghh.

by Taylor Good, if you have a PHD in history
This book reads like a doctoral thesis. If you are a teacher, do not assign this impossible book for your students, especially if they are high schoolers. This book, while being absolutely difficult to read, is opinionated and sneaks assumptions out as absolute truth. To make it worse, no solid online study guides. I'd rather read the owner's manual for my Dell.

by Billy Sh. A Review of Founding Brothers and Other Works By Joseph J. Ellis
I would just like to tell all people who are interested in reading one of Joseph J. Ellis's novels, to hault that line of thought right now. The reason this man continues to write is because we contnue to buy his work. Any person who attests to have liked this book is either a history teacher who is getting some kind of discount off office supplies for every book their students buy, or are individuals who are truly interested in editing such fine pieces of literature as the Merriam-Webster Dictionary or the Britannica Online Encyclopedia. Please heed my words, for once Joseph gets his writing in your mind, everyone suffers.

oh man! this book is boring . i am not from the u.s ,so it was really hard for me to read this book . i can't belive that my teacher made me read this book. i am 15 and i could have done many things in the summer, but my teacher gives me this stupid assignment and i had to read it . hey i didn't know that real history would be this boring. i think fiction is good. hey i had to look up like everyword in the dictionary. i just came to this country 2 years ago . this is harder than i tought. i should probably get out of my ap class. this is boring . this is boring than talking to old people about life. hey pray to GOD to help you finish this book!
