It might have given a lot of information regarding the Kennedys and its clan yet I feel like the book just give you gossip because of their scandals. It should have been a weekly magazine 乁( •_• )ㄏ.

What a misleading title!
Instead of being about the third generation of the Kennedy's over 98% of this is about their parents and grandparents and while I understand that you need to learn about them to a certain extent to understand the third generation having THAT much of the book not be about them is not only misleading, but also disappointing and a waste of reading time and lead me to skimming through the majority of this.
The little that we did get on the third generation I found to be sparse and geared more towards gossip and would have prefered for the author to keep her personal biases out of the book instead of making snide comments regarding the subjects.
Overall a disappointing read and I'm sure by now there are much better biographies written about the third generation of Kennedy's.
