debs4jc 's review for:
Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination That Changed America Forever
by Bill O'Reilly, Martin Dugard
I found out there was a lot I didn't know about the Lincoln assassination from this book and I enjoyed learning all these tidbits of history. The descriptions made the scenes come alive and the historical figures became real life, fleshed out people in my mind as I listened to the story unfold.
I listened to this on audio and Bill O'Reilly narrates it himself. I tolerated it, but I wish they had gotten someone else to do the narration. O'Reilly's voice works well for his pith commentating on TV but it's horrible for narrating a book. His emphatic diction and New York accent didn't fit the setting and historical nature of the work.
I'd recommend this book to people who enjoy learning about history, but it's probably much better to read it than to listen to it.
