In a word: fantastic. Seriously bogged down about half-way through the joy-ride that is "We Need to Talk about Kevin" I needed a lighter read and so chose one on presidential assassination. And it's perfect! And while surprisingly interesting James Garfield really helps, Millard's prose seals the deal, managing to make the Gilded Age interesting. Can't say enough about how much I'm enjoying this so far.
