By S. J. Goldberg on April 23, 2008
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book with some trepidation since Billy clearly sold his soul to write it. But, I could not resist. I was always a great admirer of JFK, Jr. - he was such a classy guy - and such an immense force to try to harness for friendship. The book lays out in vivid detail their amazing friendship and the many happy and horrifying times they shared. This book basically makes you a "fly on the wall" witnessing one of the most profound and beautiful friendships ever put to print. I could not put it down - JFK, Jr. and I are exactly the same age and passed through some of life's milestones at the same time. I found myself comparing where I was in my life as the book unfolded. I am writing this review having just now finished the book and feel an overwhelming sense of sadness - I cried so many times - the great highs and thrills always seemed to be overshadowed by the immense burden of sadness, tradgedy, disease and death that surrounds The Kennedys and those close to them. I can only hope that during my life I will share such a stong, loving, and enduring friendship with another person. Maybe John is looking down on us now laughing at all this debate - I find myself missing him during this season of politics. The world should still have John in it - he lived well, richly and fully - never squandering what he had been given. Make sure you are in the right frame of mind to read this - it may impact you more deeply than you can know.

I've never been a JFK detractor or big fan but have always admired the way JFK, Jr. carried himself. This book confirms that what the public saw in the brief moments was really exactly what he appeared to be, a well grounded, bright, loyal, compassionate man who valued his privacy but could live with the attention maybe better than anyone thus far.

Written by one of John's longest friend, Billy Noonan describes how they met on the Cape and how they lived their lives. Billy spent a great deal of time with Jackie also and gives a great perspective of her life and his respect for her. In addition, Billy lost a father at 13 and had this in common with Jr.

This book is nothing more than a tale of two Baby Boomers living in a glorious period in America. But when one of the "normal" individuals is JFK, Jr., it takes on an entirely different perspective. The incidents that happened due to this fame are interesting to read as he relays his fascination and JFK, Jr.'s frustration dealing with the problem. Unfortunately, Carolyn Bessette was not equipped to deal with this intrusion into a normal life. I remember the incident where JFK poured water on a paparazzi on the Cape intruding on Carolyn and how he later came out and talked with the photographer attempting to apologize or at least ask for space. This is what is conveyed in this book. A compassionate individual who understood much more than the world will ever know. Always willing to help others in the world and as relayed by Noonan, a deeper understanding of the world problems brought out in their debates where Noonan took on a more conservative approach.

I haven't voted Democratic and encourage you to not let your politics influence your decision to read this book. JFK Jr. is as close as this country will ever have to royalty and this book confirms what I've always felt, he wears the crown well.

After literally finishing the book in two days, I felt that the Author, William Noonan, wrote a beautiful tribute to his friend portraying JFK, Jr. as a real person with real struggles and conflicts as well as telling some very funny stories about simply growing up, going to college, finding a job, and getting married; stories anyone can relate to as well as stories that only could happen to someone like JFK, Jr. He writes about his friend in a way that I would tell stories about my friends, with respect and dignity as well as honesty and candor, never holding him up on a pedestal or glorifying who he was. He showed John to be very passionate about his place in the world and his place in his family while struggling to be his own person. Noonan writes honestly about his feelings for his friend, his friend's family members, his friend's girlfriends/wife and his friends other friends. I loved reading about the adventures they had growing up on the Cape as well as the stories surrounding John and Carolyn's very intimate wedding on an island off the coast of Georgia.

It is much more than a book about the life of JFK,Jr. it is a book about what it means to be a true friend and the trials and tribulations any good friendship will endure.

I was anticipating loving this book. I am an Irish Catholic, from Boston, and a fan of the Kennedy legacy. Forever Young does not tell you anything new. The author is a megalomaniac and it comes through loud and clear in his writing. He credits his father and himself for many things that occur in JFK's and JFK Jr.'s lives. Another reviewer wrote how they were appalled about the way William Noonan treated his mother. I could not agree more. This review seems to be more about the author than the book about JFK Jr. That seems fitting, since the book is really more about Billy Noonan than the person you are interested in learning more about, JFK Jr.
