5.0 out of 5 stars History Has just repeated itself....., July 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Joshua, Son of None (Paperback)
I read this book when I was in high school...I remember back then my teacher telling us that the Kennedy family wanted this book out of print for fear that John John would be upset by the idea that a clone was killed before his time and with John John being the closest thing to a JFK clone that he would be killed b4 his time also...I have been waiting for someone to say this on tv and to make some kind of analogy to this book....yet no one has....This book ahs stayed with me all of my life...I found it amazing and the best book I ever read....I am now a Biology Teacher and I tell my students about this book every year...I try to keep it alive in my own way...

5.0 out of 5 stars Brave new world, "what IF?!":, July 30, 2008
By 
Barbara Stienstra (Goshen, New York United States) - See all my reviews
In the early 1970's a question going around in academia "was Kennedy and/or Hitler's cells frozen" and/or "was a child created from "frozen cells" of these two historical figures? An interesting theory for it's time! When I was processing this book for the library shelves, back then, and read the summary on the book, I just HAD TO READ THIS BOOK, as it contained what was queried years before. It brought to "light" the interesting concept that in order for replication, a true clone would have to have similar experiences and be brought up in a like manner as the "original" from which it was cloned, all of which would pose problems. Around the time this book appeared, so did the movie THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL dealing with the re-establishment of The Third Reich. I also liked the title which the author chose, "a kick-off" from the Biblical JOSHUA, SON OF NUN. Just recently I suggested the book to another librarian, who never heard of the book. An interesting read!

For an excellent summary:

5.0 out of 5 stars What if?, November 13, 2001
By 
This review is from: Joshua, Son of None (Paperback)
What if John F. Kennedy were cloned shortly after his assassination? How would a scientist carry it off and under what rationale?

Who would raise him? Better still HOW would he be raised so that when grown the "clonee" had the same environmental influences? Could he change the world yet again?

Nancy Mars Freedman explores all of this in this remarkable work. Explored with scientific fact, speculation on future events and most especially with humility and feeling. A remarkable book.
