Helpful Score: 1

An interesting book, and more than an interesting take on Monticello and Jefferson. Pretty well written, though dry is some places. Also, unless you're a builder, there are numerous areas in which the book bogs down in describing the minutiae of specific parts of building such as boards, bricks, windows, etc. As a student of Jefferson, this was an interesting read which shows a different side of the man than I'm used to. A solid book, but it would be enjoyed more by a builder who likes history than a historian.
