    "In depth"
    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    I would have liked a little more about his personal life even though I realize they wanted us to know about the political part of his life.


    What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

    The interesting part was his move when becoming President. The least interesting was some of the information about the wars.


    What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

    The performance of the reader kept your attention


    If this book were a movie would you go see it?

    Yes


    Any additional comments?

    This was a quick fix to a long story.

    "great short story"
    If you could sum up Abraham Lincoln in three words, what would they be?

    easy to understand but not dumbed down. great narrator


    What other book might you compare Abraham Lincoln to and why?

    1776 by Mc Cullough but more concise


    Any additional comments?

    Well done
