COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Interesting approach to biography submitted by sherlonya on June 22, 2011, 9:27pm This book is arranged in 40 chapters, each of them looking at President Kennedy in a different way. One chapter, for example, was full of photographs which seems fitting for a President who was photographed and is often described as photogenic (especially when the Nixon-Kennedy debate comes up). Another is a collection of facts about President Kennedy like his astrological sign, his shoe size, his blood type and his weight. This approach yielded surprisingly covered a lot of the basics about Kennedy's life and Kennedy's presidency. Rubin wrote a similar book about Winston Churchill. It would be interesting to see if that book was as effective as this one. This is a good read for anyone interested in a short, accessible biography of President Kennedy.
