Finished this yesterday...a helpful presentation of Jefferson's religious beliefs and views and how he came to them. I think the basic point Kidd makes is that for Jefferson faith was a private choice. @bookstodon #audiobook #thomasjefferson #presidentialbiography #bookreview #reader #readersofmastondon #biography

So a dilemma. A book with a great premise, written with panache, should be in my love zone, by a small press I admire.... doesn't land for me.

I don't particularly like posting meh reviews, unless they're big authors who can take it. It has a hefty number of reviews which really like it. And I'm not an edgelord who just wants to be a contrarian.

So, do I give it a three stars review for trying.
