Lincoln Audiobook

" Very good book for a beginner like me. "

" Arguably the best one-volume biography of Abraham Lincoln. "

" Very exhaustive biography on one of the most famous Presidents in American history. It's long and sometimes dry at times, but you walk away feeling with an enhanced knowledge of a fascinating man. "

" An outstanding biography of the man. The perspective is as he saw things, gathered information, tried different approaches, made mistakes, learned from them and kept going through a terrible time. Humanized the man and made me admire him all the more!! "

" Lincoln only grew a beard when he was running for president, in order to look more serious. "

" This emminently readable biography is a delight. I learned so much about Lincoln, the Civil War, Mary Todd Lincoln and the tragedy of Abraham's life. Wonderful reading! "

" Excellent. Took me 3 years of stopping and starting, but finally finished it. "

" A great, page-turning one volume biography of Lincoln. The reward was the stories that fill the factual lack that tends to surround to beloved and celebrated historical icons. The political maneuvering of Lincoln, trying to balance his evolving personal convictions with what was political feasible, and facing opposition from within and without his own party and the American people, while facing a multitude of challenges, really came alive in this book. And it's hard to not read this with some eye on our present circumstances, and a newly elected President from Illinois facing a multitude of problems while considering all the voices shouting at him, both support and dissent. "

" Really interesting in depth biography of Lincoln. Sometimes a bit too in depth but overall worth reading "

" has finished reading the best biography ever: "Lincoln". Not sure if its the writing or the Lincoln's life that makes it such an excellent read. "

" A very good historical read. "

" 4 stars so far! I'll finish it someday. "

" Book Club, Biography. Very well done. Very long book "

" It opened my eyes to Lincoln as masterful politician and a man with a incredible ability to learn. "

" The best pure Lincoln biography I've read. There are others that delve into various parts of his life and career that are just as compelling, but none that broadly cover his life like this one. "

" A friend found this book at the Smithsonian in DC. Great book; well done in covering life of Lincoln "

" Very good historical book of Abraham Lincoln's life. I listened to this as a "book on CD". "

" The most focused, comprehensive, and enjoyable tome about our greatest president. "

" Don't you dare call him Abe! "

" This book was a bit of a struggle to get through. I had to put it down several times and re-attack it in short bursts. It isn't a bad book, and it isn't poorly written, I just never really got into this one. I would only recommend this book to someone doing comprehensive research on Abraham Lincoln. "

" Extensive and in-depth history of the president. The length makes it a bit of a challenge, but worth it for the insight it offers. "

" A solid description of our greatest president's life. I did feel that it was a bit "wordy" at times, even for an historical read. "

" Best Civil War biography of all time. "

" I've read several books on Lincoln. What I like about this one is that the book is pretty straight forward sticking to the facts and not overly sentimental. "
