Book Reviews of All Too Human: The Love Story of Jack and Jackie Kennedy

Book Review: Opportunity to revisit mythical times
Summary: 5 Stars

I enjoyed listening to ALL TOO HUMAN: THE LOVE STORY
OF JACK AND JACKIE KENNENDY--written and read
by Edward Klein.

Yes, it's gossipy, but that's a large part of the fun . . . also,
I do believe that Klein had his facts straight (or at least most
of them), in that he had once worked for Jackie . . . and she
became, thereafter, a lifelong friend.

You'll find out more about such interesting tidbits as the
following:

* Jack had one of the worst attendance records when he was
in the House of Representatives;

* His back problems were not the result of war and/or sports
injuries;

* Their respective families had too much control over their
adult lives (in fact, Joe Sr. even picked out the engagement
ring that Jackie got);

* While Jack was indeed a womanizer, Jackie also had
her share of male admirers; and

* Jackie had perhaps as big an impact on modern culture as
did Jack.

If you're new to the lore of the Kennedys, then you'll find ALL TOO
HUMAN a very readable introduction . . . others will appreciate
being given the opportunity to revisit what seems to have been
mythical times in the White House.

Summary of All Too Human: The Love Story of Jack and Jackie Kennedy

The story of the romance and marriage of John and Jacqueline Kennedy ranges from their introduction in 1951 through the 1963 assassination and considers the role of Joseph Kennedy in the match, their extramarital affairs, and the strains of the presidency.

Edward Klein shows that, despite their glamorous public lives, the Kennedys were as human as the rest of us. Through details on the couple's most intimate moments, including Jackie's defloration in a Paris elevator, and her amusing, albeit catty, disposition (kept under wraps because of her political standing), the ivory tower of their existence seems less out of reach. With chapter titles such as "Indiscreet," "Love Lies Bleeding," and "Pleasure First" the book reads a bit like a romance novel, but with a biting touch of reality.
