"As with any Manchester book, this is an enjoyable read. My reservations are that it was written too soon after the event for a historian like Manchester; it would have been better if the Kennedy family had chosen, say, Theodore White, a journalist, to write their authorized account of the tragedy. Jim Bishop's The Day The Kennedy Was Shot is quite superior as a contemporary account, although Bishop was not capable of turning prose to art like Manchester."
"This is a very long and detailed book describing the weekend of the assassination of John F Kennedy in 1963. I read an interesting article in a recent Vanity Fair about the publication of the book. Since it had been sitting on my shelf for some years I got it down to leaf through and in no time I was hooked. I've read several books by Manchester and admire his writing. He always notes the telling details and the Kennedy book is chock full of them. Lots of things those of us watching TV or those who read about the events in the million books about it written in later years would never know. It is worth the week or so it takes to read it."
"A great read for all you Kennedy fans. Scary in that the tension and anger that permeated this time is frighteningly similar to the vibe I feel today towards our current president."
