I hadn't really given it much thought until one day when I was trying to pick out something new to read and decided to give it a shot. I almost couldn't put it down, and was completely fascinated pretty much from cover to cover. It was, to me, so very interesting and so well written and easy to read, I would recommend it to anyone. I agree that it just gives so much insight into the world of the Booths, who they were and where came from. In the few days it took me to read, it put a completely new light on the assassination. I found myself disappointed that the book wasn't twice as long as it was.

As far as the title of this thread, I'm reading The Grapes of Wrath again. I haven't read anything assassination related since Hour of Peril a couple of months ago, and that's not really assassination related. Think I'll try and track down a good assassination book next, just not sure what it'll be.

I'd suggest Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination because it tackles a topic that few historians have ever really included in their work.
