Kennedy review

This is one of the better books I have ever read! This book did a great job of suspense, it was unbelievable! JFK is riding in his convertable along side a Dallas police baracade when he and the governer of Texas are shot. The are both taken to the hospital near by and a young reporter is assigned to the case. This is is first case and it had me on the edge of my seat wondering how he would do on the case. I really recomend this book to you if you like drama and suspense, it is truly a really great book.
