5.0 out of 5 stars My most treasured book on a wonderful man, August 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: J.F.K. Jr. (Paperback)

After much waiting I finally received my copy of this wonderful book. I must admit, it is better than I had expected. I primarily bought this book to keep as a memento of the late JFK Jr. but I was pleasantly surprised by how interesting the book is. It covers JFK Jr's life from a totally different angle-one that is refreshing & different from all the other books and tribute magazines out there. I also liked how it contained not the standard photographs that every other book or magazine has published in the last few weeks. This book reads like a yearbook. It personalizes John unlike any other publication and captures your interest from page one. It is the ultimate memento of a much missed and much loved person.

5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing perspective, December 9, 1999

This review is from: J.F.K. Jr. (Paperback)

So much information has been released on John Jr. but really only focussed on his "celebrity" side. This book though it touched on the celebrity, really displayed the "regular" side of John. It was well put together, easy to read, and was a fast read. It was such a loss for our nation but it will be nice to have this book as a keepsake for rememberances.

5.0 out of 5 stars Single best book on JFK Jr., July 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: J.F.K. Jr. (Paperback)

Follow the money: Now that JFK Jr. has died tragically, magazine and book publishers are working frantically to rush "tributes" and "memorial" editions to cash in. It raises the question: Why hadn't they issued such tributes earlier? In the wake of the late Princess Diana, we saw 25 (at least) books published after the fact.

I am happy to say that THIS book was published in January 1997 because Spignesi admired JFK Jr. The book is informative and informal and chockful of photos. It is in my opinion the best of the books about the late JFK Jr., and the high water mark against which the johnny-come-latelies will be measured.

Before you rush out to buy one of the newer books--hurried to press--consider buying this book (or its updated edition) because it was written with care, with affection, with admiration...when JFK Jr. was still alive. THAT is how you honor a man and oneself as a writer. As for the ghouls following the money, 'nuff said.
