Meh

I did not enjoy the style of writing. The most powerful message could have been written in 20 pages or less.

Historical truth as a base, expanded into a new original fiction set in a supernatural realm

I've never read another format like this book. Does a wonderful job of showing many many aspects of humanity. At times some vulgarity that I could have done without, but then as I read on I understood why the author put it in, to show all aspects of the human race by giving each character their own personality and habits to show why certain things would be so important to us that we might take those thoughts and beliefs into the hereafter. Really enjoyed the look into what happened to Willie Lincoln and how his Father Abe must have felt and dealt with his death. Also enjoyed the spritz of humor throughout the book. Helped to give voice to the spirits in the in between state as well as a laugh at ourselves as carnal creatures.
