review 1: Excellent book. I gained a whole new appreciation for how our constitution was written and the people who wrote it. I especially enjoyed learning about James Madison. As with any historical novel, the author wove the lifestyle of the day into the story and used it to hold your interest. One other thought that struck me is that politics today are like the politics then, but maybe more cordial. It also reminded me that the self centered fade into historical obscurity while those who worked for the greater good became the heroes of history. Just like the convention, this book is quite long, but it is worth your time to read it.
review 2: I was fascinated by the details of what is now known as the Constitutional Convention. As a political activist, I was esp... moreecially intrigued by the personalities of the key players in writing what I have always considered one of history's greatest accomplishments and experiments: the US Constitution. I particularly enjoyed comparing certain attributes of some of the delegates to politicians today. A great read for history buffs. less
