  Took a long time to get through this one, but I loved every minute of it. Just about any book about a larger-than-life figure such as Abraham Lincoln is going to be great, but Goodwin really did a great job with this one. I feel like I learned quite a bit about the events surrounding the Civil War and the prominent figures of the era. Most of all I have a clearer picture of Lincoln himself.
