Judine Brey's Reviews > The Most Famous Man in America: The Biography of Henry Ward Beecher

When I read the final author notes, which revealed that this biography started as a thesis and dissertation, I finally understood why it took me so long to slog through this. Henry Ward Beecher's story is interesting, but I felt like the story could have moved along more quickly. It's well researched and well-written, but just required too much thought.
