Title: Tedious and slow paced
Product review: Unfortunately, this is the type of book that tends to put readers off of history. The writing is pedestrian and dry, and I finished the book feeling I knew little more about the person, James Monroe, than I did when I began. It was like a social studies text listing facts and figures without coming to life. Compare a book like this to "John Quincy Adams, A Public Life, A Private Life", where one truly come to know the historical character.
