...than I realized.

I’ve always been fascinated by the Kennedy assassination, so I was somewhat primed to read this book. It’s different from White Noise (the only other DeLillo book I’ve read). I appreciate that the assassination itself was only a small part of this novel. I guess I had never really read much about Oswald as a person. An interesting guy, and it’s pretty interesting how the novel sets him up as a true “scales” – a guy who could have gone either way, good or bad. There are times in the novel when he’s very likeable, and others when he seems completely dispicable.

Overall, I thought it was pretty well done; but it’s not a cheerful book by any means.
