I received this book as a gift from my aunt, because she know's that I adore the musical Hamilton, and while I'm in my “I really want to read, but nothing sounds good” reading funk, I picked this up because it's something way, way different then what I usually read. And I knew I enjoy it from the first word, and I was right.

It was so fascinating to read about the birth of the musical, and the trials and events that help influence the musical. I found myself staring at the pictures throughout for way too long, and all of Lin-Manuel Miranda's annotations during the song lyrics was my favorite part.

If you enjoy Hamilton like I do (or even if you don't), pick up this book, because not only is this book interesting, it's absolutely gorgeous.
