Review of Lincoln’s World
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Lincoln's World" by James Reilly.]
The author of "Lincoln's World," James Reilly, thinks there is a better way for humanity to go. James Reilly is a tourism industry professional who has a passion for discovering new cultures.
"Lincoln's World" reads a little like a dream. Imagine a dream in which we recover using the resources that Earth has provided for us—a different story of life on Earth. In the opening pages of this book, two boys embark on an expedition with a dog named Rexen in search of gold and other riches. The dog, known as Rex for short, guided them to an abandoned foundation in the Adrar Valley, where they discovered a missing diary belonging to Chara, the man who prevented President Lincoln from being assassinated and whose actions changed history. After that, they take the book to a museum, where they are taught about the journal and how positive changes occurred in the world. This is the point where the plot becomes a futuristic dream.
The start and the finish of the book were my favorite sections. The narrative concludes with a futuristic plot, but the beginning is a modern journey that any child may go on. I liked how the novel builds gradually throughout and has a satisfying conclusion.
The name of the main character would be my one criticism of the novel. Despite being a well-developed character, the main character's name is rarely mentioned—possibly because he is the one recounting the story.
I liked reading this book because it opened my mind to possibilities and made me consider things like extraterrestrial life. I really enjoyed how it appealed to my childish side of the brain. It read perfectly because it had been well-edited. I rate this book a 5/5. I liked how real the writing was, and it was unlike any other novel I've ever read.

You mentioned the missing diary belonging to Chara, the man who prevented President Lincoln from being assassinated. Can anyone please provide more context about it.
