As a long time fan of the podcast, I’m disappointed that I didn’t love this book.

In my opinion, the characters lacked depth and the plot wasn’t as compelling as I think it could have been. The twists and losses that happen in the story didn’t pack the punch I think they could have. Overall, this book didn’t feel like it was quite ready, but it was close. I’ll always be a supporter of the author and the podcast, even if this isn’t her best work.

Is this book worth your time? Yes, but barely.

Despite my criticisms and complaints, I’m excited for the next book. I think she’s set up something that could be really gripping and satisfying.

The book does a good job displaying the contradictions and complexities of Jefferson, and while the Sally Hemings content hasn’t aged well, it does serve as another example of how elusive and contradictory Jefferson could be.

These lectures are a great high-level narrative of US history. All three professors do an excellent job distilling the complexities and nuances of American history into digestible 30-40 minute lectures.

This book was incredibly eye opening and heart wrenching. I definitely cried while listening to this book. Only by understanding the past can we hope to make a better future, I believe that this book is an important part of understanding the past.

In a perfect world, Christian Rodska would have been able to narrate this book like he had the others. John Telfer still did a good job. Overall I don’t think this book was quite as good as the other two in this series but it’s still worth your time.
