Book Reviews of Simon Bolivar: Liberation and Disappointment (Library of World Biography Series)

Book Review: Readable, and a good guide to what else to read
Summary: 3 Stars

This was a barely average book from a readers stand point. The story of the life of Simon Bolivar was quite interesting, but the author seemed bound and determined to sedate this excitable tale down to a sleepy murmur. The index was poorly done, and the book lacked anything in the way of personal writing of the principle, or anything from his intimates. It also had a notably sophomoric feel, and for a biography of such a looming historical figure I find that unacceptable.
