The Trouble with Tom: The Strange Afterlife and Times of Thomas Paine by Paul Collins

3.0

Thomas Paine is undoubtedly one of my favorite historical figures. The book was not quite so much about him as I had hoped, but it's still a great read. The narrative of his life and the way it intertwined with others after his death is presented in a quirky and compelling fashion. It reads more like a novel than a stodgy history text. An interesting and worthwhile read.
