Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination That Changed America Forever
by Bill O'Reilly, Martin Dugard
I wasn't really sure what to expect going in to this book, but I ended up really liking it!
The first few chapters detailed the final battles of the Civil War (emphasis on "detailed"), and that wasn't really my cup of tea. To be honest, I had a hard time following who was who and what was going on, but reading about battles isn't really my thing anyways.
Other than that, I enjoyed everything else about this. It was really interesting and had a lot of information I had never read about before. It reads like a narrative, and almost feels like historical fiction, so it's not just another boring nonfiction book that lists fact after fact. It was exciting and thrilling and easy to get hooked on.
Part of my love for this book definitely stems from my love for Abraham Lincoln. This review is about the book, not him, but he was such an incredible person. Seriously one of the greatest men to ever live. If you admire Lincoln like I do, you will love this (but, of course, it will also break your heart).
Overall, this was great, and I'm looking forward to reading more of O'Reilly and Dugard's books in this series!
