I have not read the book "Chasing Lincoln's Killer" by James L. Swanson, but I am looking forward to reading it! I'm looking forward to reading it because,I love to read about presidents, and their assassins because I find it very interesting. I have heard about it from friends, and relatives, but I never actually read it. I really do hope it's as good as people say it is, because I have a science test to take this week, and I need to study!! I am clicking you good-bye internet!
Chasing Lincoln’s killer is a great book. I recommend this book to any child and even an adult. My favorite part about this book is when Booth killed Lincoln and he wanted to assassinate more than one person. It was my favorite part because it was the climax of the story.
