Title: Overrated and lacked good story telling
Product review: I'm shocked that this book would receive such critical acclaim. It is a surprisingly dry and dull telling of what should be an exciting and compelling story. Additionally, to call this book biographical is a stretch since the author contends only with the surface character of Teddy Roosevelt as limited to the natural and all-too-common responses to their challenges. One learns nothing of the man that wasn't already known in much greater degree elsewhere. Finally, the author continually leaves the real story to press an obvoius ideological commitment to Darwinism. It reads like a philosophical apologetic. It was, at times, as if I was reading National Geographic. Very disappointing book.
