“Don’t let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot.”

I ended up finding this book rather disappointing. Most of what was talked about, we've heard from the media for the past decade, so new information was shown.

What I did find interesting about this book was learning about Kennedy's life before he was president as that's one that isn't talked about much. I didn't know what he had done for his military service and hearing about what he did in order to keep his men safe was very interesting.

As for most of the rest of Kennedy's life, it was all things that have been talked about time and time again. Well, all except some details of his sex life. Which I could have gone my whole life without knowing about and been perfectly fine.

I did find it interesting to learn about the Rat Pack and how they felt about him, as well as learning more about Jackie Kennedy. I truly don't know much about her, as JFK is always the main focus when she is mentioned.



Truthfully I do feel rather Meh about this book. I don't think it's a must-read, by any means but it was interesting at times.
