I agree Mike, but I think that may be because I had a lot of knowledge about the assassination before I read AB. It was riveting how nothing was left out, so much attention was paid to detail and how many questions were answered. It may not be a good book for new students to the story to start with.

I agree. Students should probably ease in, I was referring to those who may not have read it yet on this forum. I know there are only a few. But I am sure there will be those who feel the same as most of us do even at a younger age. I think Kauffman did a brilliant job by hooking the reader in the beginning with an exciting portrayal of the deed. Then retells the whole story with an amazing amount of detail and new facts that keeps your attention.
I just wanted to share my experience and to tell people not to be intimidated by AB.
