Historia
Ken Follett's World Without End was a global phenomenon, a work of grand historical sweep beloved by millions of readers and acclaimed by critics. Fall of Giants is his magnificent new historical epic. The first novel in The Century Trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated families - American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh - as they move through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.

I was hesitant taking on such a long book but I couldn't seem to put it down. The performance made me feel like I was watching a play. I can't wait to start the next book.

Historia
John F. Kennedy died half a century ago - yet because of his extraordinary promise and untimely death, his star still resonates strongly. On the anniversary of his assassination, celebrated political scientist and analyst Larry J. Sabato - himself a teenager in the early 1960s and inspired by JFK and his presidency - explores the fascinating and powerful influence he has had over five decades on the media, the general public, and especially on each of his nine presidential successors.

I Wish I Could Give This Book More Stars!
Revisado: 12-17-13
I was skeptical purchasing this book since no one else had written a review but decided to give it a chance after seeing Sabato in an interview on TV. The book is long and for good reason. Sabato goes into every detailed account of the events specific to the Kennedy presidency, and not just the assassination, but also the other history changing events, such as the Cuban Missle Crisis and the Bay of Pigs......then outlines the history of the era and how it effected the Presidents that followed. This book is the history lesson I never had. I can't recommend the book enough!

Historia
What went wrong in the O.J. Simpson double-murder trial? Former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi dares to lay bare the bungling he perceived in the case. Incriminating evidence was never presented and lapses in strategy left prosecutors Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden at a disadvantage. These are just a few of the fatal errors that led to a victory for the defense.

Revisado: 12-17-13
Prepare yourself for all the details which outline why you should be even more angry about this case. It took me years to be able to face the details of this case again. There was so much I didn't know that it is outlined in this book. It dredged up old feelinsg and added a few more. A must read for those of you either believed in Simpson or not.

Revisado: 12-17-13
As an avid reader of true crime, nothing bothers me, but this book stunned me. The stories, which I had never heard were almost unbelievable. Not that I doubted the story but I cold not believe what an animal this guy was. I had to read somethng else fast to get some of the details out of my head. A terrific book just be prepared for some horrific stories.

Releasing this fall, the movie - starring Paul Giamatti, Zac Efron, Jacki Weaver, and Billy Bob Thornton - follows a group of individuals making split-second decisions after this incomprehensible event: the doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital, the chief of the Dallas Secret Service, the cameraman who captured what has become the most examined film in history, the FBI agents who had gunman Lee Harvey Oswald within their grasp, and Vice President Lyndon Johnson who had to take control of the country at a moment's notice.

Revisado: 12-17-13
The book was great at outling the fine points of the tradegy and history of the details surrounding the Kennedy assasination. the only issue was, I had just finished reading "Reclaming History by Vincent Bugliosi, which I found to be very similiar. But none the less, interesting and substantial reading. A must read for Kennedy enthusiasts. The movie was great as well.

I love the recent movie, which is why I decided to read the book. The stage setting of history made the book, and the movie, even better. The details and emotion of the event made the book terrific, and even shedded some light on scenes in te movie. A must read for the history buffs and lover of the movie.

A Must Read

If you love Jimmy Stewart...you'll love this book. The book was so entertaining, as soon as I was finished, I read it again. The performance of the reader, who actually sounded like Stewart, was excellent. The stories, history and hollywood gossip made for one of the best books I've read. Treat yourself to relaxing trip down memory lane.

Polls reveal that 85 percent of Americans believe there was a conspiracy behind Lee Harvey Oswald. Some even believe Oswald was entirely innocent. In this encyclopedic, absorbing audiobook, Vincent Bugliosi shows how the public has come to believe such lies about the day that changed the course of history. Bugliosi has devoted almost 20 years of his life to this project, and is determined to show that, despite the overwhelming popular perception, Oswald killed Kennedy and acted alone.
