The final "climatic battle" has such an amateurish build-up that I can't help but to expect to be disappointed.

The FDR "love-fest" continues. Really should have expected it though since Conroy's 1901 showed author's man-crush on Cousin Teddy.

It gets steadily more pretentious the further you go. Should try harder @ being entertaining instead of philosophically self-important.
