I've always had a thing for the Kennedys. I was a huge assassination buff in my teens and whilst I've grown out of that I'm still fascinated by the image of glamour and youth and excitement that they projected. I think America lost something the day JFK was assassinated and they've not got it back yet. But anyway, I digress. This is very good book, nothing earth-shattering or ground-breaking, but it focuses much more on Jack and Jackie's private life, their relationships with their friends, family and each other, than it does on the political side of things. It's not an obseqious read either - it doesn't gloss over JFK's infidelities, for example. It's perhaps longer than it needs to be and I could have done with less detail about Jackie's clothes, but you can't have everything, I suppose!
