Just as solid a read as you've heard from everyone else! Chernow is so detailed in his work, and treats every part of Hamilton's life with such care. Drawing attention to Eliza Hamilton is also probably the greatest contribution to the historiography--and I don't think I'm biased in this. I would like to revisit it again at some point when I have more time and read it more straight through--I read it in tiny chunks over probably about five or nearly six months, and that really impacted how I saw the book, but once I got into it, I really got into it and blew through chapters. But it's a very interesting biography that treats Hamilton with care while acknowledging the iffy parts about him, and is obviously a required read if you love the musical!
