4.5 stars. This is a fascinating history of not only Hamilton but many of the Founding Fathers. I loved the way it was written as it reads like a novel. It was interesting to learn how influential Hamilton’s ideas were and still are. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is holy mercy it’s LONG. Also, side note Scott Brick reads the audio book and does an amazing job. Social Studies B.C.
