Title: Definitive, but . . .
Product review: I read this book a couple of years ago. I've heard it described more than once as the "definitive" Lincoln bio, but it's not the most readable. I don't insist that the history I read be easy and light, but this book was a bit too dense and detailed for me, and the writing style was too dry. Parts were interesting, but I got seriously bogged down in the middle. There have to be Lincoln bios out there that would be of more interest to the general reader. Any recommendations?
