There's a used book store in Arcadia, The Book Rack, that I really enjoy. Saw this there, and the proprietor recommended it. So I rented it from them - they have bestsellers for rent too - the ones you can't find in the library!
It was a good read - I like to get my history from historical novels - the keep my interest better!
It's a well-told story - and since I'm also reading Ron Chernow's Hamilton - lots of the details came alive.
I did not know James Monroe was such a jerk! Leslie said she thought we might not like a lot of the founding fathers if they were alive now.
That's an interesting thought!!
Never thought I'd be recommending a "horror" movie - but I would argue that it's not really horror - scary in parts and deeply disturbing - but not horror.
Well made, superbly acted, skillfully filmed, a visual feast at times - you might want to check it out - it doesn't really have a "happy" ending - but it does have a "good" ending!
But the "Previews of Coming Attractions" - now they were horror - horrible indeed! Who watches those films anyway??
