Review: A Night of Horrors
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 5, 2012
When I started reading this book I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did.  I am not a huge history buff, and although I did know that Lincoln had been assassinated while at the theatre with his wife by John Wilkes Booth there was a lot that I didn't know about that day.I actually enjoyed reading this book, the writing was easy to read, and the story kept me interested.  I also learned ALOT about the events of that night, I had never known that attemps were made on the Secretary and his son (and almost his entire family) or that that Vice President was also supposed to be assassinated that night.  I felt that the author did a great job with keeping the story as historically accurate as possible, while giving it a bit of a human feel by adding dialogue and filling in some of the blanks in history with what he believed to have been possible.Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn a bit more about the assassination of Lincoln.
