    <body><![CDATA[This book was really just ok.  It may make due as beachy type of vacation read but I wouldn't rush it to the top of the &quot;must read&quot; list.<br/><br/>The story started out <em>pretty good</em>, even if it was a little too predictable, it was entertaining.  But somewhere in the middle the story became a less enjoyable... the characters became hard to empathize with and were just not that interesting and the &quot;major events&quot; moved very quickly where as the first section had a much slower, deeper pace.  My reaction here might be due to the fact that I find it off-putting to have a story related to public figures so the &quot;major events&quot; are familiar and thus the fictional liberties seem a little harsh/glaring when intertwined with reality.  I found it to be distracting.  <br/><br/>Maybe I just prefer to keep fiction purely fiction and biographies as biographies.  ]]></body>
