whopper12's book review was featured in "The President Has Been Shot!": The Assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Have you witnessed JFK's assassination or even seen the video on YouTube? Well what if you could see it happen in your mind from just reading a book? The book I read was The President Has Been Shot by James L. Swanson published in 2013, with the genre being nonfiction. I have not always been a big fan of non-fiction, but after reading this book it has shown me as a reader that non-fiction can be just as interesting as fiction. I give this book 5 stars for detailed information and the quality of the details. While reading the book I never felt that there was a part that did not have much detail. The author had to have spent a lot of time finding little but specific facts. The book is mainly about John F Kennedy's assassination, but also his early life of how he became President and the aftermath and chaos from the presidents death. A very interesting feature about the book is that it explains what Lee Harvey Oswald,(JKF's assassin) did to prepare the assassination attempt. The book has exact details because in just one example states,"The third bullet sliced through John Kennedy's thatch of thick reddish-brown hair. It cut a neat hole through his scalp and perforated his skull. The velocity, the pressure, and the physics of death did the rest. The right rear side of the president's skull blew out -exploded really-tearing open his scalp, and spewing skull fragments, blood, and brains several feet into the air where it hung for a few seconds, suspended in a pink cloud."(Swanson 113.) All though this is a disturbing example there is very extreme details which make the book very accurate and more interesting to read because at times like this you feel like you did or are witnessing JFK's assassination. Another example in the book states,"She pressed her cheek against his still warm face. She kissed his body. Then she removed her wedding ring and slipped it onto one of his fingers." This information and the details given are so precise because the author of the book knows every single small fact about the assassination and the aftermath. Some of the information doesn't even matter but it shows how absolutely nothing was left out of the book. The type of reader who would like this book is someone who is interested in American history or if they would like to learn about JFK.Over 8 years agowhopper12 added a book review.

Maze Runner one of the best books I have ever read!!! The book that I read was Maze Runner by James Dashner. The genre is science fiction. My opinion on the book was that, it was one of the best books that I have read, 9/10 rating. The book was about a kid named Thomas and he was put inside of a giant maze. In the maze was a spot called the glade where all of the kids live. While he was in it he met a bunch of people. The most important kids were, Mihno, Gally, Alby, and newt. The plot is, the kids are exploring the maze trying to find a way out. But, they find something very suspicious about the maze. Also something very bad happens to the glade that changes the whole story. Just like other books of James Dashner this one was very interesting and fun. Overall I really liked this book. The type of person that I think would like this is someone who likes to read adventure and science fiction books.Over 8 years agojack37 has read this book.
