PositiveThe Washington Independent Review of BooksAlexandra is a fine storyteller, introducing us to her grandfather, his blossoming in America, and his love for President Kennedy ... The book moves briskly from the early days and weeks of the film’s history toward the various key developments that followed in the decades to come ... Despite all the information presented in Twenty-Six Seconds, the story never lags ... Those who are deeply enmeshed in the details of the Kennedy assassination may be disappointed that she does not discuss the other existing home movies...But Alexandra Zapruder has meticulously researched and written about a film, a family, and a tragedy which helps us better understand what happened to America 53 years ago today.
