7/4/2023 0 Comments Theodore rex by edmund morris![]() ![]() I know I may be biased on this front because I am really not very interested in reading about politics. I know he didn't lose that personality when he became President (those 8 years are the sole focus of this book), but it was buried under the tons of politics that were the real main character of Theodore Rex, not Teddy himself. What happened?!?!?įor me the biggest draw to these biographies of Theodore Roosevelt was the vibrant and eccentric personality of the man himself. ![]() ![]() It took me months to get through, just because I never wanted to pick it up, and at one point I wrote in my notes: "I cannot wait for this book to end." I almost NEVER say that, and it's all the sadder because of how enchanting the first book in the series was. Theodore Rex was so different from the first book in the series, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, and not in a good way. The whole reading experience was something like wax fruit: It looks shiny, juicy and delicious, and your mouth waters anticipating the sweet, tangy taste.but you bite into it and it's just waxy sawdust, a cruel shock to the taste buds and to the mind itself. ![]() I'll be honest, this book was incredibly disappointing and really hard for me to get through. ![]()
