The Assassination That Defined a Generation - Kennedy's Last Days

I enjoyed the details surrounding JFK's assassination ! Although I'm not a history buff, this read peaked my interest in the chronological events prior to and post assassination .
I was unaware of the programs and the roles that he played in several things that exist today .

.

I enjoyed this book immensely as I lived through those very sad days when we were all connected to our TV's and radios. I thought Bill O'Reilly did an excellent job of describing the events that took place.

12 yr. old granddaughter reads everything in site but always fiction. Her teacher would like her to try reading nonfiction I read it first and thought it was great-I had already read the adult version..

This BOOK, was part factual and some was made up. Overall, it was an ok BOOK. The fortunate thing is this book was free. So it wasn't a terrible loss. I really enjoyed killing Lincoln. I have the ability to separate, Bill O Reilly, the person from his writing. IN MY OPINION HE IS AN EXPERT IN WRITING, better than being a talking head. GOOD luck on your writing.

I enjoy any books or information about Kennedy, very interesting on his final days, so much information that was not known. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in President Kennedy and family.

I was 12 yrs old when Kennedy was assassinated and it has always been a huge event in my life. I went to a Catholic school and on that day, November 22nd in 1963, our teacher told us that our President had just been killed. Bill O'Reilly not only filled in all the details of what was happening those last days before the assassination but also gave me a history lesson of real events that took place. This book is full of drama and emotion and every child from middle school on up should read it. It will seem like a gripping book of fiction and before you know it, you can't put it down!

Was skeptical about buying a Bill O'Reilly book to my son. But Good Book. Author is not trying to pass on his "craziness" to the readers. I'm not a fan of Bill and if I saw any of his agenda's in the book, i would have returned it immediately...

He is very interested in the Presidents and their history. He loved Killing Lincoln for kids
By Bill O'Reilly. As I enjoyed the book for adults. I wanted him to learn more about President
Kennedy.

Even though the same text as killing Kennedy, this book is much more appealing because of the graphics and pictures. O'Reilly promotes the book as being for children, but is in fact more appealing to all ages than a book without pictures. O'Reilly should
put out a picture version of killing Lincoln. Seeing the pictures brings the story to life.

I completed read the book in one day while flying from Baltimore to Alaska. Although I was a college student at the time of the assasination, and was well aware of the various theories and issues, O'Reilly's book was a page turner. It was well written with much information as contained in a concise fashion. I had read Kiling Lincoln and enjoyed it also.

I was very disappointed in this book. Mr. O'Reilly seems fairly intelligent, but, having read many books on the subject of the Kennedy assassination, I can say that this book bordered on fraudulent. He brings nothing new to the table. Mr. O'Reilly thinks so much of himself that he decides to tell us about himself the book. It was at best 12th grade work. One could learn more about what the government wants you to know about the assassination by watching fifteen minutes of the history channel. The bonus being, you would not have to suffer through Bill's own recollections of himself!! Amazingly simple minded book from such a well spoken man. This book should have been titled, My recollections of The Kennedy Assassination as Told To Me by a Poor Researcher!! If you want to know anything about the Kennedy Assassination other the party line please don't expect to find it here.

I remember that dreadful day as if it were yesterday. I had a classroom of fourth graders doing math when the intercom came on with the news. There was dead silence for about ten seconds, then a small voice asked," Is that for real?" I doubt those children will ever forget that day.

Very simplistic book. Although an easy read,it really covered no new ground and provided little information that I hadn't got elsewhere.I am not a fan of O'Reilly and am sorry my purchase of this disappointing book added to his bank account.
