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

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.

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.
