A review by jenmangler
Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell

4.0

I feel kinda bad that I had so much fun reading a book about presidential assassination. I expected to like the history stuff in this book, and I really did. There were so many instances of "you've got to be kidding me!" coincidences or weird factoids that I thoroughly enjoyed. What I didn't anticipate was enjoying the company Sarah kept on her journeys. It was great spending time with the friends and family members who accompanied her. And I loved the people she met along the way, people so passionate about their local history and so willing to share with others. The history geek in me is inspired by them.
