I wanted to eject the CD's and throw them out the window

Let me start out by saying this is an unusual book review for me. Because...
#1 I couldn't stand the main character.
#2 I couldn't stand the main character's father who was prominent in the first 1/3 of the book.
#3 I could not for the life of me understand how the women who loved the main character could stand him.  

I wanted to eject the CD's and throw them out the window on the way home from work a few times. 

All of that said, I kept listening. For the history.

I have never read or known much about John Wilkes Booth, his family, or the circumstances around the plot to initially abduct, and later to assassinate Abraham Lincoln. Now I want to know more. From a factual perspective. I am going to have to do some researching, to see how much of this book is based in fact.  It seems like much of it is - at least at first glance. I am googling his siblings, Mary Surratt who owned the boarding house where many of his co-conspirators stayed - including her son John, and Lucy Hale the daughter of a US Senator who had a relationship with him. 

I am interested to know if any of you read/listened and what you thought about it. Do tell.
