Book Review of I, JFK

I, JFK
I, JFK
Author: Robert Mayer
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback

This is book has a rather novel concept: it was published in 1989, 26 years after JFK's assassination, and is written in the first person with JFK speaking from heaven, where he is working on the memoir he never got to publish.

He has conversations with Bobbie, MLK, LBJ, Nixon and J Edgar Hoover among others. It was entertaining for the first hundred pages or so, but got silly at that point and I quit reading. Life's too short to spend time on a book which stops being even amusing.
