Marie Vans amvans — just finished reading it for the second time around. it was more painful this time, since i already knew everything was going to hell. oh well, an epic, nonetheless. and i think i appreciated the bisexuality of some of the characters more this time, as i don't think i had found my own the first time i read it. it was interesting, and also kept me up really late on numerous occasions so i could get through it as quickly as possible.

Marcela Santos _ancor — David McCullough is one of my favorite authors. He does a nice job of making history appealing by "developing" the human-side of the story. This book told the story of the soldiers in the trenches as well as focusing on Washington. This is the second book this I've read this year that had Washington as a focus (I also read "His Excellency: George Washington" by Joseph Ellis). In both books Washington is humanized, he's such a legendary figure in our history, separating the man and the myth gets difficult. It's enlightening, for me anyway, to see such a great leader struggle with making decisions and to see that many of his decisions were questioned (his second-in-command essentially undermines Washington). We sometimes assume great leaders always know the right decision to make and that someone as respected as Washington would never be questioned. 1776 also highlighted how tenuous the American position was throughout the year, there are several times that the British could have wiped Washington and the troops out, but for various reasons it didn't happen. Still I couldn't help feeling this book could have been more, I particularly was hoping more would have been written about the writing of the Declaration of Independence. Overall the book makes for a good read for even someone with only a casual interest in history; it's fairly short (when you take away the notes and bibliography, it checks in at under 300 pages), informative (we should probably all know more about the founding of our nation),and the focus on major and the "common man" makes it interesting.
