Industry Reviews
"By dint of it's subject's wildly captivating personality, THEODORE REX is able to combine the sweep of history and the complexities of statesmanship with the persuasive sense that you, the reader, are there."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (11/15/2001)
"This is Roosevelt as his often astonished contemporaries observed him, with Morris delegating historical hindsight and personal commentary to an extensive notes section at the rear of the book....It's a shining portrait of a presciently modern political genius maneuvering in a gilded age of wealth, optimism, excess and America's global ascension."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - John Carman (12/09/2001)
"[U]nlike many of his peers, [Morris] writes with a breezy verve that makes the pages fly, and that perfectly suits his subject."
New York Times Book Review - Richard Brookhiser (12/09/2001)
"[A]n account that is devoid of ideas, empty of analysis, and ignorant of social context....Like a hustling New York publicist, [Morris] wants only to glamorize."
New Republic - Christine Stansell (12/10/2001)
"Roosevelt's titanic personality emerges vividly and with a good deal of nuance....Morris lucidly lays out this wealth of material in a readable text, always attentive to the demands of storytelling."
