Review: Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City
Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City by Guy Delisle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Really interesting look at Jerusalem from a few years ago. It was neat to see all the illustrations and to read about the author's experiences with Jews, Muslims, and Christians.

Review: John Adams
John Adams by David McCullough
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It took me a long to listen, but I loved this biography on John Adams. I felt like, in some regard, it was a biography of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson because they were friends, not friends, and then friends again, so there was a lot about Jefferson in there as well. Loved the relationship between John and Abigail. Very interesting to see how one man influenced America throughout his life.
I became interested in John Adams due to the HBO series on him. The book is a lot better.
