Helpful Score: 1

Team of Rivals is somewhat over rated. The begining is very slow and disconected. Mrs Goodwin even acuses Lincoln of visiting prostitutes. As a result I could not read the book for a year. ( I would have posted it had she not personaly signed my copy.) The middle section when is was president was the best part. She weaves all the players together. Then when Lincoln dies she does not unravel the players as she brought them together. She simply gives a short epiloge. I would like to have seen how the remain peoples lives went on and ended.
