    Update: Good so far. It doesn't go as in depth into the family background and childhood as the Truman biography I just read did. FDR is interesting though with all the money the Roosevelt family name brings with it. I'm in his early political career now in New York. Enjoyable read.

    Finished it. Was good but I don't feel like you really got to know FDR like you do with some of the really good presidential biographies. That might be because FDR was somewhat enigmatic and hard to pin down. He is one of those guys that would not give you a straight or direct answer. Still found it to be a good and interesting book. You get to learn about his new deal programs and get a look inside his whitehouse/life during WW2.
