Well it sounds promising at first but the overall could be improved.
I am no writer, so I will not give easy advise as 'it should have been written like this' ' I would have done like this'...
As I said, the first part got me, good time travel theory and the alternate 2013.
What I like less it the use of actual people like agent Tippit or Hoover. I could not picture the story and I you lost me there.
Also, I could do otherwise than to imagine the JFK movie by Oliver Stone :)

I have always been fascinated by the JFK assassination...the politics, the conspiracies and the central figures surrounding the events; so when I came to know about the premise of the book 'Destination Dealey', it was an easy decision for me to start reading it.
All said and done, it wasn't exactly the page-turner I was expecting it to be....maybe my expectations were too high. The main characters turn out to be unintentionally annoying and for the first 3/4th of the book, the book reads like an amateur teenage adventure novel. For most of the time I spent reading it, I was wishing the book would end quickly.
The final quarter of the book saves it, though. As the story shifts to the fateful day, the action picks up and finally the book lives up to the promise. The story ends fittingly too, and just for that, I give it three stars.
Worth an one-time read.

I received this book for free as part of the goodreads first reads giveaway. This was a cool book about what might have been if President Kennedy had not been assassinated and Jackie had been killed instead. Fifty years later group of people from this timeline had found a way to go back into the past to try to prevent it from happening. I liked this book a lot, my only issue was that the characters didn't have a lot of depth beyond their first description of them. All together though, it was a good book and I would recommend it to anyone interested in speculative fiction.

This book had me from the first page to the very last. The characters are likable and believable. The mixing of fact and fiction, real people with the imagined is great and is a fast paced, action packed book. Do we take this book as historically correct; of course not. Do we sit back and enjoy being entertained; YES!! I won this book from LibraryThing and I recommend this book.

Although I predicted the ending early on, the story that got me there was really good. Being a bit of a JFK conspiracy buff, I enjoyed how the author included the mystery characters of real life into the story. Overall, when I read a book, I am in it for entertainment. This book entertained me and I think it will entertain you as well.
