Title: Outstanding presidential bio - a real treat
Review: I read Morris' "The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt" about 20 years ago, and was extremely impressed with his writing. Written almost as if it's a novel, it was a welcome departure from the usual plodding, fact-filled, head-nodding bios of the 1980s.After a disappointing Reagan bio ("Dutch") I'm happy to say that "Theodore Rex" is every bit as impressive as the first TR volume. The writing will leave you stunned at times - Morris is almost in a class by himself as a biographer. Perhaps only Robert Caro, William Manchester, and Robert Massie are his contemporary equals.
