Reads like a thriller. Hard to put down. A great way to learn a little history.
informative
medium-paced
This book was impossible to get through. Hard to read
Meh. Bad prose. Poor chapter transitions. Repetitive. Overall a short book trying to be longer.
This was a really interesting read. Not something I would normally read, but pretty good nonetheless. The book details the last week of Lincoln's life and the events/plot that leads to his assassination. There were so many coincidences that tied John Wilkes Booth to Lincoln and the authors do a good job of tying things together. They also list a few conspiracies and details about what happened to everyone involved.
I am definitelty not an O'Reilly fan but read this at the suggestion of another. I decided to read it in an effort to unbias my biased self. I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed this read. This is a fascinating story and it has ignited a strong interest in this peroid of history and the people who lived through it.
I felt that it took a little too long to get to the point of the entire book. It was a little interesting to see their take on the historical event though
Great narrative of what happened in the last few weeks of Lincoln's life. I like that these books don't give into all the theories of what happened but stick to the historical facts and let the reader draw their own conclusions. I also like that they don't just talk about the main character but the other important figures related to the person or the event.
Interesting look at the events leading up to Lincoln's assassination and the aftermath. I might have liked reading the book better than the audio--I was tired of hearing Bill O'Reilly read from the first five minutes. But...I did finish it...
