Quoting from the book's dust jacket, "Included in this volume are the complete texts of the Constitution of the United States of America and it amendments; the Declaration of Independence; and the Articles of Confederation. The book also includes an insightful introduction by R. B Bernstein, a chronology of important dates and an index to the Constitution.

Although there are many Thomas Jefferson biographies, this one in particular is concise, accurate, and well written. I appreciate the short (sub 200 page) length of this biography that captures many of the interesting facets of TJ's life. It doesn't go into great detail about anything in particular, so this biography really serves as a starting point that could lead the reader into more advanced work that goes into greater depth.

A fast primer on a complex man who was utterly frustrating in his paradoxes. Perhaps a bit too much life to cram into 200 pages, but a good place to start.

I did find myself between interested and impatient when reading this biography.

I am not a really a big reader of non fiction and I was doing this for a challenge in one of my groups. I found the author did quite well in his research about Jefferson, I learned many things about our third president that I didn't know before.

Like that even though he was the writer of the constitution, he hated public speaking, which I can understand quite well. This is a well written book, and if you are interested in Jefferson I would recommend it to you.

Now for the rating, it is basically because I liked it, I didn't really like it or think it was amazing, I may have even added a half a star if it was allowed. It didn't hold my interest at times and I switched reading to something else which is why it took me so long.
