Customer Reviews

Good biography but written rather boringly

The contents of this book was interesting. I learned a great deal about Penn's political and religious convictions. The author goes a long way to describing Penn's character with its many kindnesses and contradictions. However, it was one of those books that I felt that the author really painted a full picture of the subject but did not do so very captivatingly.
