Honestly? This ruled. One of the best, funniest, most stirring history texts I've ever read. So absurd and yet so brilliantly conceived. Eat your heart out Robert Caro.

Can't figure out who the target audience is here. It's too crass (I think) for most librarians to keep it on their shelves in public schools. But the humor seems too juvenile for an adult audience. Couldn't finish this. I wanted to like it in premise, but in his execution - the author both turns me off from his voice and from the subject matter.

Thank you to Turner Publishing Company, Keylight Books, Netgalley and the author Brad Neely for a free ebook in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this book! It was, at first, kind of hard to get into. When I initially read the description I was expecting the book to be mostly biography based with a few comedic elements, however I would categorize the book as comedic, somewhat fictional retelling of events. I would have loved to seen Grant's actual presidency discussed, but overall was very satisfied with how and where it ended. 4 stars!
