Summary: One of the greatest books of all time
Review: One of the greatest books of all time. A must-read. However, don't buy the book with a credit card. It can be tracked, and you don't want that to happen.

Summary: I LOVE BELZER!
Review: I love this book! It's a wonderful way to make your senses just a little more paranoied. Through this book, Belzer remains funny. Which is what I like about Richard. This book is involved, and some may find it weird or inappropriate, if you can't deal with something that might take away some light form your happy-go-lucky world, don't read it. If you're going to read it, and you find it offensive, it's your own fault, you should know better than to read something that looks like you might be a little shaken by. If you're going to read it, read it because you have some interest in what Belzer is saying, or Belzer himself. I read it becasue I am a fan of his, and wanted to see what he was getting paid to ramble about, and I am very glad I did. It's an informative and really funny book, so if you're not the most content person with the government, this book would probably be a good one for you.

Summary: Not worth the paper it's printed on
Review: NBC needs to bring back Homicide for two reasons. First and most importantly, it was the best show on tv. Secondly, Richard Belzer would be too busy acting to write anymore worthless books. It makes me mad that people read books like this about JFK and believe everything. This book was just as bad as JFK the movie. He relies way too much on eyewitness accounts. Eyewitnesses that think there were anywhere from 3 to 12 shots fired are anything but reliable. Most of them are obviously wrong. There is only one correct number of shots. Belzer also contradicts himself on more than one occasion. The one that comes to mind involves the speed of the limo. At one point he implicates the driver because the limo was going so slow and he also says it was virually still at the time of the head shot. Later on he says that it would be too difficult for Oswald to hit a moving target. Which is it Belz, was the limo moving or not? Read 'Case Closed' by Gerald Posner. Belzer takes a few swipes at it, but it's a great book. Posner did his research without a conclusion in mind. He let the evidence determine the conclusion. Belzer and most conspiracy writers have that backwards.

Summary: Excellent, thought provoking, and well written.
Review: Can't say when I've enjoyed a book more or thought more when I read it. This book is excellent in every way and Mr. Belzer has really done his homework for it. Belzer has said he is a long time fan of writer Brad Steiger (Project Blue Book & Alien Rapture) and I can see the influence in his book. In fact, Alien Rapture is the best novel I've read in many years. I highly recommend 'Conspiracies You Don't Have to Be Crazy to Believe.' It's as thought provoking as Belzer is funny.

Summary: Great
Review: I loved this book & the writing. I am of an age where the JFK assasination has always intrigued me, this shows some of the evidence that exists.....the younger generation does not realize that at the time this happened we were just given so much hype.....Oswald a lone shooter, you'd have to believe in the tooth fairy & santa to buy into this scenerio. Belzer is a good writer & I hope he writes more.

Summary: Bullbleep
Review: A very disappointing excursion into institutional paranoia. The Kennedy junk is particularly unfortunate. Please, other reviewers, read or reread Posner's meticulously researched, documented, and devastating book on the subject. Belzer can not do better than mutterings and innuendo of the grand conspiratorial type, e.g., Oswald's fingerprints on the murder weapon are explained by some unknown FBI agent for an unknown reason pressing his dead hand against it. (How the FBI agent gets the gun out of evidence storage, how he gets it to the corpse, how he gets it back - all this while the hands are still warm enough to print - how he does all this unobserved, and why he would do it since Hoover was the one with goods on JFK, not vicea-versa, are of course questions not addressed, let alone answered - the usual level of performance for this nonsense.) It's a shame that even a minor public figure has lent his name to this idiocy.
