    "Great read , Naration by O'Reily is excellent"

    Naration by Bill O'Reily is the best. I know there is inacuracies in some of the details. But extremly entertaning.

    "It was a side of the event I was not aware of."
    What did you love best about Killing Lincoln?

    I loved the back stories that are not always brought to light in reading typical historial books.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Killing Lincoln?

    There were many memorable images in the book. The events that came into play prior to the assaination. How Boothe was surprised by the reaction after the assaination. And how it all played out for those that were involved.


    What does Bill O'Reilly bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    The way Mr O'Reilly emphasised events in the story, brought to light later in the book their ultimate impact.


    Any additional comments?

    Loved the book! I encouraged my family to read it. There were so many things I wasn't aware of, it brought history to light in human terms.

    "Great Book for a long trip"

    Even if you do not like history about wars this is a fun listen. Things like Booth was next to Lincoln at his swearing in for the second term and had to be restrained from attacking Lincoln.

    Great book for a family listening if they know a little of American History.

    "Wish it was longer!!!!!!!!!"

    Great Book!! If history class was this interesting I would've paid more attenetion. Only issue was that the book wasn't longer. Wasn't sure about O'Reily narrating the story but he did a great job. I'd give this book a 10 stars

    "The best account of historical fact on Lincoln"

    This missive is the best possible of two worlds. The past, as you move into the future can become clouded and rewritten with a completely wrong concept, thus misleading today's readers. I give kudos to Bill and the team that researched this narrative, they made you feel as if you were there. I learned many little tidbits that it felt as if I was speaking to my Great, Great Aunt Mary Todd and she was explaining what happened to her husband. This book should be required reading in all high schools. I have recommended it to my fellow historians. I am the president of the Clifton, NJ Historical Commission and a decedent of Archibald Todd, Irish Company, 13th New Jersey Volunteers. Two of my ancestors are in a rare photo with Lincoln at Antietam. Bill O'Reilly has here nothing short of a masterpiece. The narration is incomparable and awesome.

    "Better than expected!"

    Although an avid history buff, I sometimes find history based books boring. Not this one. Kept my interest all the way through. I also cannot agree with others regarding the reading. Although Bill is maybe not the most skilled "reader", he did well enough I was able to feel as if I was watching a movie rather than listening to an audio book.

    "Lots of backstory"

    Great story. Very well written. If only Bill O'Reilly could pronounce CAVALRY. The word is used at least 100 times - each time pronounced CALvary. Too bad because it distracted me from a great story. I look forward to his next historical book.

    "Outstanding Historical Book Lover"

    This book is outstanding!!! Tells about the way the war came to a end...as to the way President Lincolns life came to a end. but, I think Mr. O'Reilly "may" have been wrong about last time General Lee and General Grant spoke. Robert Lee visited President Grant one other occasion. It was at the White House and it was about railroad access to Lexington, Va. When Lee was President of Washington University.
