Ron Chernow did an extensive amount of research and travel to bring Hamilton's story to life and it really shows in this biography. It took me nearly three weeks to get through, but Chernow leaves no stone unturned and is quite thorough in discussing not only the events in Hamilton's life but also the complete historical background and the lives of those who would prove significant to him (such as Aaron Burr). I also finally listened to the soundtrack of the musical, and now I understand what all the fuss is about. A dense read, but worth the effort.
