Review # 1 was written on 2017-09-07 00:00:00 James White This is a short read for early to late mid-level students or just anyone who enjoys learning about history. It takes about an hour to an hour and a half to read the entire book (depending on how determined you are). I actually enjoyed this book because I have always been fascinated with Abraham Lincoln. I really am not sure why I have always been interested in Lincoln other then the silly fact that he resembles my beloved grandfather-- tall and lanky. In the short book, you get a look inside the life of Abraham Lincoln and his family. Half of the book is a narrative of the family and the other half is letters that they exchanged throughout the years. You learn of their love for one another and their hardships, as they lost children through numerous causes. I rated this book a three simply because it was interesting, but not long enough to really enthrall me. It took me a few days to read it, but only because I live a fairly busy life. However, if I really sat down and dedicated an hour straight to read it, I could. Regardless, it was an informative and interesting little read, especially for a history fanatic like myself.
