Negative Positive
Title: Very poor representative of the series
Review: I agree with other reviewers who found this book to be hard to follow. The reason for having a series editor is to ensure consistency across the volumes. Three others in the series were well written and insightful, so I was hoping for an enjoyable account of the life of this poorly known president - arguably the "first modern president". Unfortunately, I gave up half way through as I simply could no longer follow the narrative. I have full-length biographies of all the "important" presidents through Truman and have used this series to fill the gaps (W. H. Harrison, John Tyler, Benjamin Harrison) and all full-filled my expectations except for this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
