A Fascinating Read


Killing Kennedy by Bill O'Reilly

Killing Kennedy is a fascinating book.  It goes through the three short years of John F. Kennedy's presidency with tidbits about Jackie and his various relationships, The Bay of Pigs, and the Cuban Missile Crises, Lee Harvey Oswald and the assassination.
It is very interesting, but it is not tedious and sleep inducing, in fact, I stayed up past midnight reading it.      I can see that Mr. O'Reilly would have been a fantastic history teacher, I couldn't wait to find out more. I wish it was longer and included more details, but I feel like I learned a lot and enjoyed the journey.  I'm going to read Killing Lincoln after The Gods of Gotham.  I hope Mr. O'Reilly writes many more books about great historical people.  Other authors could learn a thing or two about keeping the story interesting.  
LOVED this book, one of my all time favorites!
