Our family listened to the audio version of the book last summer on our way out to Williamsburg and D.C. for vacation. Adams truly has to rank up there with the most important of our Founding Fathers. And he was so
smart!
McCullough does a fine job in writing this book, and he himself is an excellent speaker. I heard him speak here in St. Louis last June, on Adams. I had heard him also give a talk here a couple of years earlier. A wise man. And a great voice, too.

I agree with you on all points.I heard McCullough on C-Span during the first National Book club festival last year and he was great! I wish that I could go to Quincy,Mass.to Adams cript.I was reading some of the reviews,from regular folks,on Amazon.com the other day.One review was particularly moving to me.A guy was so moved and impressed with President Adams after reading the book that he made a pilgrimage to Quincy.He said that when he got inside,he placed his hand on John Adams cript and said:"Howdy-do,thank you."
