Narative Textbook

Although "Roark seems to emphasize some events that seem less important to U. S. History" as Mr. Jack A. White stated, this book is written in the narrative stand point. Therefore, it should be read more like a story and not a textbook. If you're using this book in high school, it will be good practice since more college books are narrative.

Very well written.

This book is very well written, quite long, though
