Pretty good but I prefer Kevin. I like the factoids about other political murderers but they interrupt the story. Today I read about John Hinckley, the idiot whose obsession with Jodie Foster drove him to shoot Reagan; I read a little about that a few weeks ago after the episode of "The Americans" in which Reagan was shot.

Hard to describe my feelings. Half the time I'm intrigued, half the time I'm thinking, "God this is stupid."

Slow but I like it. Hate the made-up facts in the real life cases, though. Example: Hawley says that after shooting at some tourists, "there was a tingling" in Waltman's groin that was "almost sexual." Seeing as Whitman did not even survive the massacre he started, there is no way to tell. If this were a historical novel, it would be okay, but I was assuming everything in this section was accurate. Very disappointing

Yesterday I read about RFK and today he's talked about in the book I'm reading (I also read about Jordan a few days ago; Sirhan Sirhan had Jordanian citizenship). I'm enjoying the book so far; hard not to compare it to We Need To Talk About Kevin.
