A Book Review Of Franklin D Roosevelt Biography

Ranked #3,235 in Books, Poetry & Writing, #125,582 overall

FDR The Champion Of Freedom

This is a very lengthy book of 1134 pages and I am only at page 678.

So far, I am enjoying it immensely although Conrad Black has a tendency to write with $0.50 words in almost every page. So that is slowing me down quite a bit. English being my second language, you can understand that I constantly need to look up for the meaning of some words.

Also the book is so heavy I can't even take it to bed.

I will have more to say when I get more reading over the weeks.

Definitely a work in progress....
