Prompt: John Voight

The Enemy of the State was a great action thriller about a political assassination. This movie makes me recall the assassination of JFK which is probably the biggest political assassination in recent history.

Klou Great movie!! It was my choice too. Perfect choice! 3y

Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall asleep I reach over for the closest book to read...Wonder if this is good "go back to sleep" reading. At least I have my cats to keep me company. #insomnia #nighttimereading #sadbooks

TommieMarie74 I‘m also dealing with #insomnia tonight (this morning?). Not my first time, sadly. 6y

I enjoyed this glimpse into a very sad day in history. I learned some new things about the day and what happened after. I read this for the teen reading challenge.
