//Chasing Lincoln's Killer//

Have you ever wondered what life was like when Lincoln was assassinated, and how his killer attempted to escape? I would recommend the book, __Chasing Lincoln’s Killer__ and it answers many questions. The book is action-packed, historical, and filled with detailed writing so descriptive, it makes you feel like you’re actually in the depressing time of the slow death of Abraham Lincoln. The book explained the eyes of John Wilkes Booth, a famous actor’s eyes. The book has taught me how the marvelous and well-planned scheme of John Wilkes Booth murdered the sixteenth president Abraham Lincoln. The book shows valiant characters, and teaches kids to persevere like John Wilkes Booth did from the authorities. The descriptive book, by James Swanson shows character and perseverance. My favorite part is when Booth and the other criminals attempted to murder the secretary because the astonishingly rich detail painted a picture in my mind and I felt like I was a reporter in it describing the whole story in the eyes of the Secretary of State. If you like action and historical books at the same time, Chasing Lincolns Killer is the book for you. Reviewed by: Will H.

This excellent novel, //Chasing Lincoln’s Killer// is about the actor John Wilkes, and how he and other conspirators murdered the president. They attempted to slay the secretary of state and vice president. It tells the aftermath and trying journey of Booth after he assassinated Lincoln. Booth, a talented actor, is disappointed that the Confederates have practically lost the war. He is a Lincoln hater who has attempted kidnapping him before, but he never thought that it would come to murdering the president and fleeing for his life. What I enjoyed about this book in general is that the protagonist is the villain. I also enjoyed the long chase involved inside the story. I would recommend this book to non-fiction lovers, and if you like action and suspense, you will love this book. Reviewed by: Houston P.
