The writing was limp, uninteresting at best and confusing at worst. There were several misstatements in the book that interrupted the flow of reading. The information level seemed appropriate for a sixth grade book report, which is fine. Sixth graders need books at their level. However, the writing style was so flavorless and at times incoherent that if I were a parent or teacher looking to recommend a biography, this one would not be it.
It is a small book, and I hope that the book's failings are due to a forced editing due to size restrictions. Perhaps with more words to spare, the author would have produced a more interesting, captivating biography.
I read this book as a member of Book Sneeze, a division of Thomas Nelson.
