false 3 1 false false Thu Apr 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 02 19:49:40 -0700 2009 Sat May 02 20:16:29 -0700 2009 Story with an interesting premise; a little of the conspiracy theory thrown in. Kept me intrigued.

Learned about Jefferson's retreat home, Poplar Forest, something we missed when we visited Monticello several years ago. Also increased my knowledge of Jefferson's wide-ranging research interests and areas of expertise if what the book implies is correct.

The story dragged on occasion; got bogged down in the mundane or philosophical musings. The story begins with a major coincidence and keeps rolling from there, with more.

I think this is my first Brad Thor. Will begin at the beginning and read more.
