I had to read it; but found it very interesting. The book I received was at a fair price; with only a few handwritten words inside; which actually helped me with my homework. Abraham Lincoln rocks!0 of 7 people found the following review helpful. the epitome of boringBy BeautywithintheheartThis book is an awful read. It tends to leave the reader in absolute confusion. It's either that I'm horrible with history or this book is way too boring and so I wandered off a bit leaving me confused. I choose the latter because I'm pretty good with history. I just can't get over how awful this book was.
