This was a very fast and easy read, very personable, very informative, good for kids. It made me want to read more from the author on other historical figures.

During the first three-quarters of the book it seemed to glamorize him and didn't speak any bad about him, unlike The Robert F. Kennedy book i read. However, the last quarter it started to talk more of how people questioned some of his decisions. A great picture I found in this book was on page 153, it showes a little boy with a scared look on his face as he is marched to a Nazi death camp. This picture really shows the cruelty of the Naziis.

Of the four biographies I read by Freedman, this one was my least favorite. Perhaps it was because FDR himself was so difficult to understand in real life! He was president during very hard times and I learned to respect him.
