Well, there is nothing sexual within the pages (Unlike the "Shades Of Grey", which many of the women find arousing)... However, it does list quite a few actual events which did occur in Our 16th Presidents life... I found it interesting, all the way through the assassination of Lincoln, which ties in to the ending of the book... I havent seen the movie, but I believe I will have a better understanding since a lot of Abe's thoughts are within the pages of the book and are often left out on the "Silver Screen"... Its worth a read, just my opinion though...
