The Impeachment of Abraham Lincoln Audiobook

" My favorite quote: "But, for all its outward glory, the Capitol was really a glorified mens' club, purchased at enormous expense by the people of the United States for the benefit of those who ruled them without ever quite representing them." "

" Great Stephen Carter times. Loved the main character, fun to wonder what if. "

" I love to read anything about Lincoln and this is a really interesting reimagining of what it would have been like had he survived the assasination at Ford's Theater and the aftermath of the Civil War "

" This is the first alternative history that I've read, and the premise was interesting. The author obviously did a lot of research, and the book was well done. I wanted to like it enough to give it four stars, but somewhat embarrassingly, the large number of characters and multi-layered, in depth plot confused me at times. "

" I expected a fascinating alternate history tale about Abraham Lincoln with interesting socio-politico-historical tidbits, but I instead got a Nancy Drew style mystery (Lincoln only appears as a prop) with extremely shallow plot conventions and cardboard characters. I really don't understand how this is a bestseller with so many positive reviews. Putting this one down ~150 pages in. "

" Interesting take on what might have been if Lincoln had survived the assassination attempt at Ford's Theater. "

" The ending was a complete cop out. I will not be reading another book by this author. "

" This book was pretty good...until the last 10%. I the interest of avoiding spoilers all I'm gonna say is I feel like I was robbed...and, yes, I'm bitter. "

" An ambitious and interesting story line. However, it lacked the depth of insight into the inner workings of Abigail, the female lead, in the same way that he has shown the female characters in past novels. It may be that he invested so much into developing such a difficult subject that he didn't have as much left for the character development in this one. So, worth reading, but I like his other works more. "

" Very detailed book.... I prefered Stephen King's take on the JFK assasination instead. (Similar plot of "What if famous person was never assassinated?") "

" Written so well that I caught myself thinking this was a story of fact. "

" This was an ok book but the historical fiction takes a back seat to the mystery surrounding certain events in the book. Other readers have commented that the ending was weak; I agree. "

" I really enjoyed it. The view point was good and the ending wasn't what I expected. (Which I enjoyed, yet didn't enjoy at the same time) "

" Slightly disappointed...great topic and the author did a great job exploring the 'what ifs' of this time period, but the author's style just didn't suit me, personally. It felt long and drawn-out in places. "

" Clever. Fast paced. Very interesting. "

" Compelling story, interesting characters... ponderous writing. I wanted so desperately to love this book, I constantly wonder "what if?" and alternate history is among my favorite genres. However, try as I might, I just could not get involved in this story. "

" I have enjoyed other and equally long books by this author but this one didn't do anything for me. I just wanted it to end so I could move on to something else. I never got caught up in the alternate history. "

" Was the end worth the long plodding story that took forever to read? No. "
