The reader was a bit theatric for this work and although the writing was fairly good it felt as though the author was cheerleader for TR as opposed to an arbitor of the the factual accounts of Roosevelt's life

This is a great overview into TR´s early years. You read about his overachiving attitude and his dedicated pursuit of excelence in everything he did.
Can be a bit slow at times, but overall, it is worth the read.

Excellent. This book is far superior to Theodore Rex. The narrator does a terrific job. The audio book is fast paced and very interesting. I definitely recommend it.

I actually felt pangs of sorrow when this book ended. I can't remember when a book interested me this much.

An endlessly fascinating man

Succinct, yet detailed. This book tells the life of Theodore Roosevelt through the events that created him. From his boyhood and adolescence to his time driving cattle in the badlands and storming San Juan Hill, up to the point where he becomes President.

Tremendous

This was a very informative and enjoyable book to listen to. Very well narrated. I didn't want it to end (lucky there is a part 2)! The perspective seems fairly balanced in presenting who he was. This is highly recommended for anyone intersted in American History or even U.S. natural history.

Very enjoyable
