A review by lcstevens92
Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln by Doris Kearns Goodwin

4.0

Being over 700 pages, it took me a month and a half to read this book. I don't usually read non-fiction so this was a bit of a challenge for me. I feel like I climbed Mt. Everest or something. That said, I did enjoy the book. Doris Kearns Goodwin does an amazing job of going through all of the enormous amounts of research on Lincoln, letters, biographies, etc. and putting it together into a readable tale with the focus on the Lincoln's cabinet and the impact that had on all of the events of that time.

Over and over again I found myself relating things in this book to things happening today. Kudos to Kearns Goodwin for this great book.

Now bring on the fiction. It's time to immerse myself in a story again.
