Are The Reviews Correct?

I read the review made by the School Library Journal and thought that it did not give this book a fair review. This book is said to be a "dry account" and "is unlikely to spur any interest or excitement in readers". I beg to differ. As an eighth grade student, I would be at the correct age to read this book, and I believe that, although the book also reflects the negative aspects of Hamilton's life, it also portrays him as a true hero and is sure to spark any young reader's interest in the life of Alexander Hamilton.
