The Duel: The Parallel Lives of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr

This book was amazing. It really shows you a great comparison between the two men. It is a relativley easy read, but not childish. It is great for middle schoolers and adults alike. -13 year old daughter

Absolutely riveting and teaches a LOT about character and choices !!!!And of course history.As an adult I LOVED it.Our boy , 8, is obsessed with HamiltonThank you , Lin-Manuel 'Back to book. It contrasts the 2 men Hamilton and Burr.Sooo very similar yet different responses and attitudesYou get insight into CHARACTER and the importance of our choicesBut it is also a history lesson.It will spur on more desire to read . ... and dare I say History , Biographies, .....books in general.

I chose to buy this book to feed my love for all things Alexander Hamilton these days. I wasn't quite ready for the Chernow biography (I have since purchased it). I am also a 6th grade teacher and I can't wait to share this with my students! It gives just the right amount of detail to keep the students interested, yet not too much that their eyes will glaze over while reading it. I think it is going to be the perfect addition to my classroom library due to the Hamil-mania that is happening right now!

I have two daughters, ages 11 and 14, who thoroughly enjoyed this book. I assigned the book to them (I home school) because they became very interested in the soundtrack from the musical Hamilton. Both girls are excited to learn more about the American Revolution because of musical and The Duel.

bought for grandaughter along with another hamilton book. this looked appropriate readability for her age and provided another angle. I have not read.

Written as nonfiction but absolute the most interesting book written in this manner I’ve ever read!!!!

I read this quick condensed version before seeing the play Hamilton. It was helpful to better enjoy the story.

How much do you know about our founding fathers? The was a very interesting read! The two men, their lives touched by similar events, yet it led to this very sad ending in a few pages.
