Jonathan S. (dadof2) - reviewed on 6/23/2009

This is the second of Vidal's "Chronicles" series, after the amazing "Burr". "Lincoln" is an absolute epic of historical fiction. Full of Vidal's biting wit, this book provides the most complete portrait of the 16th president I've seen in any book, fiction or non-fiction. Should be required reading in for all high schoolers. They'll never think history is boring again.
