Review: A Must Read!

Author John Holt assures the reader at the beginning of his novel, The Thackery Journal that it is fiction - a product of his imagination. He tells us that only three of the characters are real. The rest were created, along with the plot, to weave a tale about how and why Lincoln was assassinated.Nevertheless John Holt's idea of what might have happened is so credible that I had to keep reminding myself that it was indeed fiction. The novel is well written and the characters are so true to life this could almost be a history book rather than a novel. Well done John Holt. A compelling read.
