In this work of historical fiction, THE OLD LION by Jeff Shaara, Theodore Roosevelt is vividly brought to life. From childhood to adulthood, he evolved and grew just as his beloved country did. Told in a conversational manner, Roosevelt speaks to readers in his own words. We learn how and what he thinks. The descriptions of his adventures are so well depicted that readers are immersed in them.
I found THE OLD LION to be impressive as well as informative. Theodore Roosevelt made a huge impact on history and to read his story in his own words was a pleasure. In my opinion, this novel would appeal to a wide range of readers whether they know much or little about this fascinating man. Highly recommended.
