OHHH MY GODDDD IM FINALLY DONE.

This felt like it Stephen King was actively TRYING to reach a word count. If he didn't beat you over the head with motifs and filler words/sentences, this probably could've been half as long and MUCH more enjoyable.

I think I could've really enjoyed this book, it's very well-written and researched, but this thing DRAGGED. It went on and on and on with descriptions and flash backs that took you out of the pacing in a lot of scenes.

Tbh... at a certain point I started becoming more invested in Lee Harvey Oswald's life than the main character 💀💀💀💀

It was entirely too long. It needed a good editor. 500 pages would have been plenty.

Size of the book is daunting but the story itself is captivating. This book had me transformed into a blubbering mess by the last page.

Wow. What an interesting concept, approach, and execution. Some elements I could have done without but that's personal preference. A great experience to read this.
