"Dalton admirably captured the vitality, insatiable curiosity, and passion that made Roosevelt such a compelling figure, both for his contemporaries and for historians." (Booklist)

With the exception of the first 3 or so hours, which discusses TR's childhood with unnecessary detail, the book is extraordinary. Covering his personal and professional life, his internal contradiction, and his bigger than life persona.
I am amazed that after 20+ hours I do not dread listening to the reader, she is very good.
If you are interested in learning about arguably the most interesting president of the USA, I would think this book is as good as any and it is very pleasently read.
Informative, entertaining and well read

One redeeming quality to this book, however, is the thoroughness of the explinations of all Roosevelt had to juggle during his time as president. Dalton does an excellent job highlighting the numerous conflicting interests and landmark changes Roosevelt faught for during those years. I found that portion of the book quite fascinating.

Had he beat Wilson instead of him and Taft splitting the vote, events of the world could have been different.
Instead of the weak lazy Wilson in the White House as war in Europe, we might have had a true American in the White House.
