Interesting, but not interesting enough to justify being 600 pages. The concept was fine but I wish it had been executed very differently.
Felt like it kinda fell apart when it got to the Kennedy assassination.
Was it necessary to give a mini-bio of 100+ minor characters? It felt like that ultimately made each anecdote unnecessarily confusing because each one introduced another couple names.
