Interesting

I thought it was very interesting. I knew that Thomas Jefferson was a great person but I didn't know how great until I read this book. I thought it was great how the author explained his childhood in depth along with his adulthood. I learned a lot from this book and I recommend this book to anyone looking to become more familiar with the history of the U.S.

I thought that this book was very interesting. I always thought that Thomas Jefferson was a great man but I didnt know how great until I read this book. I liked how the other not only went in depth with his adulthood but childhood as well. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for information about U.S. history.
