- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I thought Mr. Unger wrote an excellent book regarding John Hancock. The book was easy to follow and made for a very pleasant and informative read. I had the feeling that the author spent a lot time in researching Mr. Hancock, but even after the research he explained everything in a very understandable fashion. If you are new John Hancock you might want to consider this book. It's a great starter. Overall, I would gladly recommend this book to all my friends.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Easy to read as it brings to life John Hancock. A man as outstanding as his bold and disciplined signature. Connects the dots and fills in the portrait of our early American culture and history.
