This book was both interesting and informative. Although I found the 1st part of the book to be somewhat dry, the 2nd and 3rd parts of the book were extremely gripping and I found myself eager to read more! I learned a lot from this book and am glad I read it!

I enjoy some war description if it contributes to the overall story. Too much in this case, and I found myself glazing over at the description of obscure battles. I wanted much more of the crazy mind of Boothe.

Killing Lincoln is a very in depth look at the President's last days, as well as the circumstances that surrounded him and his would be assassin. It questions the possibilities of conspiracy but lays out the facts in an efficient and enlightening manner. Honestly speaking, this is how nonfiction should be written - it flows and feels like a novel but contains all of the important details of a biography. well done bill o'reilly.

The anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts one of the most dramatic stories in American history—how one gunshot changed the country forever.

This was a good listen. I learned a lot of things I had no idea about. I believe everyone should listen to this at least once. It's better than a history class. Bill makes it sound like a thriller novel.
It's a very thorough account.

The story was wonderful - I learned so many things I had no idea were part of the Lincoln assassination. I listened to this one and that may have been my downfall - O'Reilly is not necessarily a narrator. I would encourage you to READ it though!!
