3-second book review: "Assassination Vacation," by Sarah Vowell.

First sentence:

Going to Ford's Theatre to watch the play is like going to Hooters for the food.

Review: Reading Vowell's tour of assassination sites across the U.S. makes it seem like she takes strange vacations. But so-called "normal" people pay $70 a head to see unshaved men wearing giant rodent costumes and white gloves. (63)
