Query: Trust others at your peril

Wow, there are either a lot of Morris family members writing reviews or people who like ponderous prose. Granted, TR's presidential years were full of trust-busting and nature conservation -- not the stuff of thrilling biography -- but Morris is able to squeeze the life out of even the most interesting events. His self-important language, misused vocabulary, and pathetic metaphors will leave you howling in pain. If you like good biography, read McCullough. Run from this book.
