Review title: Boredom.
Product review: I have never panned a book about Lincoln before, but there's a time and a place for everything it seems. This book is well researched, insightful, and in some places even illuminating, but it reads like a doleful college thesis, lacking a cohesive focus and existing without any tempo or cadence or rhythm whatsoever. Lincoln himself is not exactly the central figure, nor is the Gettysburg Address. For a while it seems Edward Everett is the focus, then the history of ancient cemeteries looms largest, with rambling discussions of Greek and Roman resting places and their evolution from urban to rural, etc. etc. etc. I suppose in all fairness, I should mention that Gettysburg, the place, is the subject. Do yourself a favor: visit the Memorial, skip the book.
