But I am ready for more depth now.<br /><br />Kay: Thankyou, that's kind of you to say. It was an easy book to talk about as I liked it so much. The Kennedys are not a particular interest of mine either to be honest, but they're so much a part of recent American history which I *am* interested in so I felt it wouldn't harm to find out more. I plan to read 'Jack' by Geoffrey Perret soon and Jackie Kennedy will presumably feature in that quite a lot.<br /><br />Pam: Yes, gosh, Rose was tough as they come. I must read a proper biography of her at some stage. Oh yes, a *very* tough family to be born into... I too was glad not to be born one of them.<br /><br />Kelly: I hope you try this as it's so readable and interesting.<br /><br />Margaret: Yes, me too but it's all 'bitty' information and I felt I needed to read something to paste all the bits together. I hope you enjoy it when you get it. Oh yes, no doubt they will all arrive at the same time.<br /><br /><br />Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-19705441968000501122017-01-16T07:37:12.930+00:002017-01-16T07:37:12.930+00:00I've picked up bits of information about the K...I've picked up bits of information about the Kennedys over the years from various TV programmes and news reports etc, but you've convinced me that I need to read this book. I've reserved the one copy that the county library holds, so when I'll get it I have no idea. I've got three other reservations and they'll probably all arrive at the same time.<br /><br />BooksPleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721650104596705715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-60189416449483764112017-01-16T00:38:22.267+00:002017-01-16T00:38:22.267+00:00Oh, I definitely want to read this.

At the end I was glad I hadn't been born in that family.

I've not been particularly interested in the Kennedy family as a whole, though I have been interested in Jackie Kennedy because I love reading about the First Ladies. I might want to explore it on audio.
