David O. Stewart presents this well-researched account of the U.S. Constitution's creation not as a dry analysis of events, but as a high-powered narrative filled with dramatic intensity and larger-than-life historical figures.©2007 David O.

This is the 2nd book I have listened to of this particular event. I felt like it was a good summary of the proceedings & offered some different perspective. The narrator attempted some accents that were a bit off setting but you get used to it. Worth the time.

More detail and reasoning than I've heard this history repeated. Verbal drama at its best.

A wonderful true story, told with passion.

Great book. Unbearable narrator. I was shocked at the terrible character voices attempted. And the sounds of smacking gums was constant.

Awful Narrator

Overall, it was a good listen. However, the narrator attempted too many accents and infections when reading quotes. It got a little distracting for me.

Very good narrative of the incredible discussions, debates, fierce contentions, and eventual compromises that produced out constitution.
Mr. Wilson does a nice job with the narration, but I was able to speed it up to 1.6 and not miss anything. FYI.

Solid history of making a more perfect constitution
