Its filled with way to many facts to remember. Too long to read. Hard vocab to comprehend for high school students like me. Hard to keep your attention when reading. An hour close to two hours a chapter to finish. In other words, don't read this book for fun unless for a purpose!

I find that this book was an excellent tool for study of early American history, but the rather boring and redundant writing style of Joseph Ellis drags down the interest greatly. If people truly hope for school kids to read books like this they should present the information in a less dull fashion.

I found this book to be very hard to read, its very dense and full of facts. Despite the short length of the book it takes a long time to read. I did not enjoy thr writing style and I found it very hard to pay attention.

The pre-chapter is bull. No need to read. I finished Chapter 1 and half of Chapter 2 so far. It is VERY repetitive. The height doesn't matter, but he doesn't give us the EXACT detail of it, so that's good. But the reason it's so hard is b/c the book uses hard words (which is good or a bad thing to some people) and it's BORING. Ellis needs to make this book more exciting. I know it COULD be exciting, but Ellis isn't making it.

This book was really confusing and hard to understand. Does it matter what age and height and weight some of these people where? I mean come on! It was really difficult to get into and actually read. It was super boring and I would not even threaten this book on anyone!

Oh my god! This book is really bad. I haven't even gotten past the first chapter and according to these other reveiws it need be that I discontinue! Actually I have to continue because its required for my History class. They really need to put out a study guide for this book. It should be required that they put out a study guide. No, its mandatory!! Students, reading this book by yourself is not recommended!! Discuss it, work off each others ideas. Frankly this book is like a dry washclothe that is trying to be sqeezed of its water!! Very very reppetative..so far!
