Laurie,
I really enjoyed "In the Heart of the Sea", but other Philbrick books have been a struggle for me。 I had higher hopes for "Travels with George", however the transitions between Washington's journey and Philbrick's travels with his wife made it difficult for me to stay interested in the book。 I enjoyed hearing about Washington's time in various locations as well as the commentary about those locations today, but other anecdotes disrupted the flow of the book。 Nathaniel Philbrick definitely knows I really enjoyed "In the Heart of the Sea", but other Philbrick books have been a struggle for me。 I had higher hopes for "Travels with George", however the transitions between Washington's journey and Philbrick's travels with his wife made it difficult for me to stay interested in the book。 I enjoyed hearing about Washington's time in various locations as well as the commentary about those locations today, but other anecdotes disrupted the flow of the book。 Nathaniel Philbrick definitely knows his history, but this book just wasn't for me。Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC。 。。。more
Martin,
Thank you Viking for the ARC; a nonfiction must-read fall release recommended for all libraries and readers。 Excellent combination of history and contemporary travelogue。
David Burris,
Nathaniel Philbrick has written another exciting and entertaining book as he and his family travel the journey which George Washington took as he sought to unite the new nation as their first president。 I learned historical things I did not know and felt I was welcomed to ride along with the Philbricks as they investigated。 Great book and a must read。
