See allI just kept not caring. Stopped 80% through at that point I usually finish books. But I just didn't care.
A reminder to citizens currently stressed that the USA has often been through dark times, and how we came through them and slowly improved.
I learned a lot. I'd like toread more of Meacham's books. And also learn more about MLK Jr. and Lyndon B. Johnson.
Nostalgic fun for me because I was a teen in the eighties.
The pace built nicely. The writing was poor however. I really disliked the authors parenthetical explanations for possible plot holes, very distracting and weak. The characters were mostly weak. Two dimensional. The many cultural references were fun for me.
I'm thinking that in this case, the movie might be better than the book? I'll try to update this review after I see the movie.
I don't get what all the hype is about. Finished about 80% of the book and just couldn't continue. By modern standards it's poorly drawn and inked, the writing is at times confusing, other times just over the top ridiculous. It may have been ground breaking for its time, but like the first wheel fashioned from stone, we've made a lot of improvements!
