    "Great Book!"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    The authors walk you through that turbulent time that the Kennedy's were in power. I was amazed how it seemed like everything lead to that fateful day in Dallas. Amazing book about an amazing time in our history.

    "Superb!"
    What made the experience of listening to Killing Kennedy the most enjoyable?

    It reads like a novel. I learned things about the JFK assassination I'd never learned.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    JFK. Incredibly complex and great man. A conservative Democrat.


    Have you listened to any of Bill O'Reilly’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    Both Killing Lincoln and Killing Kennedy were equally excellent.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    I was emotionally captured by Killing Kennedy.


    Any additional comments?

    While Bill O'Reilly is widely known as a stellar TV/Radio, news and opinion personality, host of the popular O'Reilly Factor, I believe as time passes his contributions as an author will surpass his other accomplishments.

    Story
    "Kennedy was a man of his era"
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    yes, However I feel O'Reilly delivery was bothersome voice is too famous.


    What did you like best about this story?

    Honesty-of behind the scenes.


    Which character – as performed by Bill O'Reilly – was your favorite?

    N/A it all sounded the same


    Do you think Killing Kennedy needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    No need.. Kennedy was man not a god. that era of men and how they treated women was not to be admired. He was not a great husband. like I said a different era.

    I do admire the fact that Jackie & JFK raised two wonderful grounded kids.


    Any additional comments?

    I was really surpprised by L B Johnson role as VP and the disrepect for the office.

    Story
    "Methodical, captivating, historical timeline."
    What made the experience of listening to Killing Kennedy the most enjoyable?

    As we all know, Bill O'Reilly is a no-nonsense type of guy. As a journalist and author we have come to expect both facts and integrity in this same fashion and that's exactly what you get with another of Mr. O'Reilly's historic endeavors.
    I so love the way the information was provided and pieced together methodically while preserving the integrity of the historic events and in John Fitzgerald Kennedy's short three years in office, many historic events occurred. My personal memories of those events were foggy and muddled, at best, but all was brought to light in Mr. O'Reilly's own voice that captivates soundly. I appreciated hearing the tone and expressions of the author himself. Nothing is left to the imagination.
    There's no mushiness here. Personalities and relationships are unveiled, some surprisingly so. Misconceptions and fabled rumors are brought to light and either debunked, proven, or factually left in limbo.
    If you read or listened to Killing Lincoln then you won't be surprised that this is another fascinating product by this fascinating author!!


    What other book might you compare Killing Kennedy to and why?

    Killing Lincoln. Same captivating story telling of factual events.


    What does Bill O'Reilly bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Love to hear Mr. O'Reilly's expressiveness and tone of voice. You can sense the emotions, both up-lifting and despondently sober, that he wishes to share with the listener.

    "Good but not great."

    In fairness, I should say that I compared this book to Killing Lincoln. Personally, I thought Killing Lincoln was great! Killing Kennedy was not as good but it was definitely worth the time. Well done Bill O’Reilly.

    Lincoln


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes I listened to Kennedy and Lincoln right through.

    "No Conspiracy Theories Here"

    This is a well-written story. It provided a balanced view of Kennedy's personal and political life up to the day of his death. I enjoyed hearing the details around the PT 109 incident as well as the concise, in-depth and engaging profiles of the people around him including Jackie Kennedy, LBJ, Lee Harvey Oswald and many others who played an important role in JFK's presidency (and his eventual assassination).

    O'Reilly's narration flows along at a nice pace and in no time you'll find that the book is finished. I recommend this book.
