I wanted to read something historical this time round. So I perused the history section (I think that’s what it’s called) at the library. While a Stalin book did catch my eye, I went with Killing Lincoln since I noticed it’s been selling pretty well at the local bookstore.
While I know the basics behind Lincoln’s assassination (as I’d hope everyone else does as well), I did get a much better look inside those involved. I really did enjoy the writing style for a non-fiction book, while detailing a historical event, the authors did make it feel like an exciting novel at times.
I really went through this one pretty quickly, which is always a fine sign. The pacing was excellent and the diagrams and maps were a big plus as well. It was really interesting to not only learn more about the “bad guys”, but also about the poor security as well.
I really enjoy this one, it was a good book.
