I've obviously owned this for a couple of years now, every since I became Hamiltrash, and never read it. I'm going to see Hamilton for the third time soon, and I figured it would be worth finally heading to some of the source material. It was long and dense, but it was fascinating both as a biography and as the source of another piece of media I very much enjoy. I honestly felt way too invested in past politics, to be honest. These founding fathers had me stressed. There is a pro-Hamilton bias in this telling, as is to be expected, but Chernow is pretty fair and open about it, and isn't afraid to tell us when Hamilton was wrong or what other biographers say about him.

Overall enjoyable and one more book read that's been on my shelf for too long!
