- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I enjoy historical fiction immensely. This book had a lot of great info regarding the civil war that I enjoyed learning about. Have always enjoyed John Jakes Writing.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed this book. It takes you right into the events leading up President Lincoln's assassination. I got sucked into the events and found myself hoping that the book's protagonist would be able to thwart the assassination, though I knew it couldn't happen.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Plodding at times but overall a good read
