I‘m that person who‘s so late on this, but I just watched Hamilton for the first time around the 4th. I liked it but all of the sudden last week I was like “I‘m gonna listen to the soundtrack” and it‘s been on legit repeat since 😂 Honestly the songs/story are so compelling. Hard not to enjoy even though hip hop isn‘t my typical genre

Ruthiella Never too late to discover this awesome soundtrack! 🎵🎶❤️ 4mo
TieDyeDude Yes! It just digs into your brain. Just typing this, the Skylar sisters song is begging to be heard 😅 4mo
LiteraryinPA Right!! Just an amazing score. 4mo

TheDaysGoBy @TieDyeDude I swear I hear the songs running through my brain while I‘m lying in bed trying to sleep 😂 It‘s honestly the best though. Definitely digs in and doesn‘t let go 4mo
TheDaysGoBy @LiteraryinLawrence it‘s incredible. I‘m mad it‘s taken me this long to get into it honestly 😂 4mo
TheDaysGoBy @Ruthiella When I watched it on Disney+ at first I was like “uh oh, I don‘t think I‘m gonna like this” but somewhere it flipped and I started enjoying it. I think part of me was expecting it to not live up to the hype but it‘s honestly just incredible 4mo

Starting this chunkster!
I've broken it into mini chunks to read daily. It's gonna take a while..but so far, it's pretty unputdownable 👍

SamAnne This one has been on my TBR for a long time 2y
CoverToCoverGirl It‘s a wonderful read. I didn‘t want it to end, such a fascinating man. I wanted the ending to be different but such is history. 2y
brittanyreads @SamAnne @CoverToCoverGirl It's so easy to read. Not textbook or stuffy! I saw Hamilton on stage recently and purchased the book during intermission impulsively. I'm happy I did 😃 2y

Mehso-so

Unpopular opinion: I did not love this. Hamilton is incredibly well-researched and very informative, but is just so dry compared to Chernow‘s other biographies.

This book is a good reminder that politics and the press are, and always have been, nasty business.

This was my first of 4 #chunksterchallenge2023 books. I‘m so glad to be on to the next one! @Amiable

JenReadsAlot Wow that was fast.... I'm slogging through around page 250! 2y
Amiable Agreed! I'm so glad I read “Washington first because I might not have picked it up if I'd read this one before it. 2y
K.Wielechowski I really enjoyed reading the first 3rd but when I got to the middle I struggled. Downloaded the audiobook just to get through it. 2y
GinaKButler @JenReadsAlot @Amiable @K.Wielechowski Well, your comments are making me feel better! I *would* like to read more about Aaron Burr though. 2y
CoverToCoverGirl Oh dear! It‘s unfortunate you didn‘t enjoy this one. I loved it, even more than Washington and Grant and I thought they were both brilliant. I‘m hoping to get to Titan soon. 2y

Pickpick

What I admired most about Wood's writing in this brief so-called biography of good ol' Ben is his research. It's almost as if Wood spent the time reading as many books about BF as were available; then he sat back and gave his overall summation and discerning light on key aspects of BF's life--especially in the attempt to debunk the myths many of us have associated with BF over the 200+ years of our history.
