It is December 2015 and Abe Lincoln has come back to life in New York City for two weeks. He befriends 13-year-old Henry Mason, son of a Lincoln scholar, who helps him understand that his mission is to repair a warped political system and ease the social civil war that still simmers in the nation. Crazy? Impossible? Perhaps, but there is a more immediate problem. The 2016 presidential campaign has traumatized voters. Truth is having a brutal season. Lincoln is horrified by Ronald Crockenstock, the racist, coonskin-haired founder of the pay-toilet colossus Pay as You Go, who leads the Republican field, and his irredeemably despicable rival, Fred Arrogandez, a senator who denies the scientific explanation for everything. “We had idiots in my day,” Lincoln says, “but yours are bigger.” Together, Lincoln and Henry battle appalling candidates, a noxious hedge fund billionaire, Fox News reality twisters, violent mobs, demonic pastors and the political establishment. Does Lincoln have time to accomplish his goals? Can he escape the dozens of assassins on his trail? If Lincoln fails, will America slide into the abyss?

FUNNY AND ENTERTAINING

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book is extremely funny, well-written and entertaining for both adults and teenagers too. Very thought provoking with several common sense suggestions to improve the level of integrity of current political campaigns. Anyone with an interest in the great Abraham Lincoln or current politics will love this book just as we did.

As if Twain and Green collaborated

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

If Mark Twain and John Green ever got together to write a book (and Stephen King gave some input on time-travel input), the result would probably look a lot like "Four Score and Seven." A ripping yarn with great characters and lots of humor, plus satire borne of righteous indignation (that's the Twain part). Highly recommended.

What would Abe Lincoln Think?

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

A scathing hilarious fictional look at the 2016 election, with a laser-like focus on the GOP candidate debacle. Andy Feinberg's book is a welcome antidote, filled with wisdom, history, wild flights of fancy, anchored by a touching relationship that feels all too real. A must read from a truly skilled political observer.

What Would Lincoln Do?

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2016

On occasion, I have a thought that the current Republican Party would make Abe Lincoln roll over in his grave. I did not dare imagine that Mr. Lincoln would step out of it entirely. In this political fantasy by Andrew Feinberg, at the time of the 2016 Presidential election, he returns to help an increasingly befuddled electorate give shape to a vision for America fitting for the 21st Century, just as his vision dominated the 19th Century.
Lincoln meets members of America's celebrity culture, struggling to avoid inclusion, and he dismantles Trump- and Cruz-like characters in debates. The book is full of surprises, uproarious media events and, the development of the 13 year-old narrator through Abe's tutelage. Timely and exceptional.
The author does not expect that our politics will produce a leader of Lincoln's skill and erudition. If we reinvest our society with the values of union and nation, things may work out after all.

Abe Lincoln In 2016 – Hilarious and Thought-Provoking

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2016

Four Score and Seven by Andrew Feinberg introduces the judgment and conscience of Abraham Lincoln into 2016, as Abe returns from beyond to find himself ensconced in an educated family that is motivated to help him on his quest to improve the world he finds 150 years after leaving it rather unexpectedly.

Feinberg, a journalist, has a discerning eye for satire and deep, likable characters (and a few that, by design, you won’t like), drawing freely, but fairly, from history, the Bible, Shakespeare, several of Lincoln’s speeches, and his own wit and imagination.

The book reads as easily as a comedy and, while it is that, it also is much more. Not far below the surface, this skillful fusion of history, politics, religion and time travel cleverly takes on, with satire coupled with thought-provoking reality, issues that matter now, including historical and (what passes for) presidential politics in 2016, the dysfunctional American political system, climate change, religion, individual freedom and more.

Four Score and Seven will leave you laughing, but it also will leave you thinking, not just about Feinberg’s easy marriage of the past and the present, but also about the future, your future, before and when you cast your ballot in November.

One of the best books I have read in a long time

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2016

One of the best books I have read in a long time. You will relate to the characters and while this is fiction, it is actually "reality" to our political system. I couldn't put this book down and highly recommend it. Lots of humor as well!
