Manhunt
Manhunt
By: James L. Swanson
Book Blurb By: A.J.
The book Manhunt, takes place in the mid 18 hundreds, and is about an actor named John Wilkes Booth, who has a strong opinion about the president, Abraham Lincoln. All over Washington, the people knew that Lincoln and his wife were going to the famous play “My American Cousin” at Fords Theater. 4 months before this, Booth, Being oh very rich, formed am anti Lincoln group of 5 people: George Avteroid, David Harold, Lewis Powel, and so on. Booth bought all the equipment hour his group, and each man was assigned to assassin one person or leader of the states. That night of the play, was the time that Lincoln was killed by Booth, and from there on out…the manhunt was on!
I adored this book because it had action, and excitement at every corner. I would NOT recommend this book to anyone who does not like blood and gore, but I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a historical, action packed book. My favorite character in this book was David Harold because he was mainly Booth’s sidekick and helped him carry on with his broken ankle. I give this book a four out of four star rating.
This sounds like a great book. I didn't know Booth was rich or that he had his own gang.
