We had our bookclub meeting last night. We discussed Manhunt by James Swanson. I love to hear what everyone else thought about the book. Here are some thoughts from last night.
Often in the book it is the good looks of Booth are mentioned. Betty said that we should picture our favorite Hollywood star* as Booth. The author was born on February 12- Lincoln's birthday. How news travels today and how news traveled then. What if Booth had made it to the 'deep south' could he have escaped.
There is a movie in production. Johnny Depp* is playing Booth. For more info on the movie and about the author Go here

I'm planning on reading this one next after I finish The Four Loves. I'm excited to read it and am glad to hear people enjoyed it! Also, per one of your favortie books listed, I bought Alex "The Dangerous Book for Boys," as a welcome home gift when he got back from his guys weekend. He LOVES it!! :) We didn't really visit once we got home from the airport because his nose was stuck in the book ;) But it was great to see him so excited about it, so thanks for listing it! :) Keep up the great bloggin! :)
Thank you for your kind words.
