Title: Captures Lincoln's mythological "essence" and humor
Product review: Not as detailed as other biographies (e.g., David Herbert Donald's more recent biography), this book better captures the "essence" of Lincoln. After reading "Malice", I felt that I actually experienced Lincoln--his gentleness, his humor, his black moods and his strength. Over all, the book has a strong undercurrent of humor that makes it very enjoyable and easy to read. Moreover, despite the foregoing attributes, it does not seem that accuracy was sacrificed to enhance the the book's emotional appeal. This book is highly recommended. I have read it twice; and, I'm sure, in the distant future, I will read it again . .
