not a fabulous book.

amusing, but not enough that I would recommend anybody to go out of their way to seek it out.

if it falls on your lap, sure. but don't cross towns or anything.

it did get me wondering about abe lincoln's real life, though.
for example, did he really run into edgar allen poe?
cause somehow the image of the two of them hanging out in a pub (which does happen in the above book) just makes me smile, and I am mentally willing it to be historically so.

thus, will probably be seeking out a good lincoln biography in the future.
a good by-product of a so-so book.

does anybody know of an interesting and well written abe bio?
