Rating: - Engaging

Rating: - A lot better than I thought it would be!
My mom was always encouraging me to read biograhies. One day, my mom sat me on a chair and forced me to read at least one chapter. I didn't think I would like it, but I loved it! Tons of info on Abe Lincoln! Some conversations were added to make it more interesting, but most of it was true. I am reading tons of bios from the same series (the Childhood of Famous Americans series). I would encouage everyone to read this book and other books of the series!
Rating:  - Interesting.
This has been one of the more interesting biographys I read. This book focoses in more on his childhood than more on his life in polotics.
