This was a good read. Compares favorably to other books of this genre about other presidents like Merrill Peterson's on Lincoln and Jefferson. Books like this go a long way to improving the historical perspective on individuals who can sometimes get to enveloped in the historical miasma that they become subjected to.

This is a great book from a different perspective about JFK - well worth reading.

Thanks for the chance to read this

Thank you NetGalley for the copy of The Afterlife of John Fitzgerald Kennedy: A Biography by Michael J Hogan that I read and reviewed.
I really had a problem with this book being called a biography. To me all it does is insults the Kennedy family and more or less calls his presidency a brand. The things that are stated in this are in a way trying to tarnish the Kennedy name and to me that sure is heck is not putting out a biography about him and his wife. I got so disgusted by what I was reading I put the book down and I am refusing to read anymore of this.
Needless to say I can only give this book two out of five stars.

As an avid fan of things written about John F. Kennedy, I truly wanted to enjoy reading this book and . I did enjoy this book from cover to cover. A wonderfully written book about JFK. It is a book that gives you a view of JFK, his home life, Jackie and his time during his presidency. There is a question in the book that asks: "What explains the long afterlife of John Fitzgerald Kennedy?'" Read this well written book to find out. Very well written book. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the advanced copy of this book in return for my honest review.
