Reseñas de la Crítica

"Magnificent...a sweeping narrative of the outward man and a shrewd examination of his character....It is one of those rare works that is both definitive for the period it covers and fascinating to read for sheer entertainment. There should be a queue awaiting the next volume." ( The New York Times Book Review)

History Made Enjoyable

Any additional comments?

This was one of the most enjoyable biographies or histories I've ever read. That's due in part to Roosevelt, who was many things besides a politician--naturalist, writer, cowboy, war hero, among others--and in part to Morris, who writes beautifully and with the right blend of admiration and objectivity. I'd even recommend this book to someone who is not particularly interested in politics. Mark Deakins is an excellent narrator, and does a great TR voice.

Perfect mix of historical facts, engaging stories

This book is such a great diving off point for learning about the great Teddy Roosevelt. The stories are fantastic and no one section of his life is boring. Much like the man. The narration was also some of the best from audiobooks of which I've ever listened. All around great.

Highly RECCOMEND

Enthralling

The greatest narrative biography I've ever read

Morris captured the life and character of Roosevelt perfectly. The deep look into what shaped the greatest President of the 20th Century into the "bull moose" is absolutely essential for anyone interested.

The performance is remarkable. The reader's impression of TR is astounding! Highly recommended.
