" I am a history buff, plus I am fascinated by the Civil War, so I thought this book would give me more than it did. However, I did enjoy the style of the writer in concise tabloid manner and it did keep me turning pages.It is well worth reading. There are insights into the American psyche at the time which help us understand how this event impacted our history today. "

" As a history buff who has read many books on Civil War and Lincoln, I found this one a little light, but it has succeeded in getting Americans to read history - for that it is a success. "
- William, 1/15/2014

" I love learning history and O'Rielly's way of writing makes one feel like they are reading a novel, even though this text can be used in schools. Excellent read. "
- Kathryn, 5/18/2013
-
" If you've studied Lincoln like every other school kid or seen the movie like every other Oscar nod OCD sufferer, it still tells you new things. Takes several chapters to get into it, but it soon reads like the novel many of us want nonfiction to be. (The TV depiction should be interesting.) "
- Aly, 4/1/2013
-
" I liked this book better than the Kennedy one. Maybe because it was less familiar. Interesting history of our country following the war. "

" Brilliant account of Lincoln's last months alive. "
- Dawn, 1/20/2013
-
" Not as easy a read as Killing Kennedy but I think it is because there are so many more people involved. A very good read. I was amazed at the number of folks who went insane later in life. Mary gets the bad rap, but there were a bunch more. "

" I'm not a huge O'Reilly fan these days but I thought this was well done. A lot of things I didn't know. I listened to the audio version.

" Facinating account of Lincoln and Booth's lives set in story format. My guess is that Martin Dugard did most of the work on this book. I wish the publisher had put his name a little bigger on the cover.

- Myra, 11/5/2011

" Really good. Explores the last 16 days of Lincolns life and what was happening in the war and with Booth. Loved the setup and was not the typical history book.

" The writing was not that great, but the events and characters were well researched. It was a total surprise to see just how complex and involved this assassination conspiracy was, so I was happy that I read it.
"
