I finished reading this book a short time ago tonight (10:32 PM). It gave me a better appreciation for the type of life Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was able to make for herself (and her 2 children) from the immediate aftermath of President Kennedy's assassination to her own death 3 decades la...
Book: These Few Precious Days Author: Christopher Andersen Genre: Non-Fiction/Biographical/Historical Summary: They were the original power couple - outlandishly rich, impossibly attractive, and endlessly fascinating. Now, in this rare, behind-the-scenes portrait of the Kennedys in their final...
Reading about the Kennedys can be so depressing that sometimes I don't know why they fascinate me so much. This is the first book that I read that said JFK Jr probably had ADHD. I think that would explain a lot about his need to always be living on the edge. That's about all I got on this book. :) G...
This was like reading the National Enquirer in book form. I have no doubt this is silly rubbish turned into a book but I enjoyed it.

When I picked up my copy of Mick: The Wild Life and Mad Genius of Mick Jagger, I hadn't realized that I had read a previous work by the author. Christopher Andersen appears to have made quite a living with biographies of political figures and select celebrities. This, in fact, is not his first book ...
Whether the facts are correct or not is irrelevant with this book because it's just an entertaining and great read.
My cheesy inner royal obsessed teenager loved this book. While most of it focused on his parent's sham of a marriage, and also the car crash (this was repeated over and over at multiple times), it easily showcased how much of who Diana was shaped the young princes today. I, like others, also wonder ...
Not a scholarly work, but fun if you're into royal gossip.
