After waiting for 2 weeks, I have received my copy of "Theodore Rex" from Amazon. Theodore Rex is the second volume of the three book Theodore Roosevelt Biography series by Edmund Morris. Anyways, after I was done with the first book last week, I can't wait to read this second book the describes the presidency while T.R was the president. After reading 100 pages, I found out that the chapters for this second book seemed to be shorter and more concise than the first book. The book started where the first book left off when President William McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist at Buffalo. As a result, T.R, the vice president at the time, was sworn in as the leader of the world. Actually, the book title carries a simple description about the main thesis for this book. The word "Rex" actually means "rule" in Latin and hence the book will try to paint a picture on how T.R rule when he was the President. Anyways, I can't wait to finish this book since it is always great to know more about this unique historical personality that most people in the world may or may not know .
