Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy

Yes this book comes with the wrong pictures (something about space) but the book itself is actually really good and informative. Defo worth a read!

Infelizmente eu n achei nenhum comentário brasileiro sobre o livro;eu ainda n li ele mas ele parece ser bom,só que vale mais apenas comprar ele na versão de capa dura,pq a qualidade desse capa comum é horrível e super mole(fiz uma comparação entre ele o livro de jogos vorazes de capa comum,só que na versão brasileira),é tanto que meu livro chegou com essa marcação tenebrosa na capa como vcs podem ver,sem conta tbm que eles mandam o livro sem nenhuma proteção,só vem realmente o livro (embalado no saco da Amazon) e o nota fiscal(com o valor em dólar),sinceramente achei um descaso ainda mais por se tratar de algo internacional,então se vc n quer que isso aconteça,é melhor comprar o livro capa dura mesmo que ele n seja tão boa assim e o valor ser um pouco mais salgado Obs: A qualidade das capas do Brasil são extremamente melhores que a do eua,mas como sou apaixonada pela história ainda sim compensou comprar ele

A comprehensive account of JFK Jrs wife. A little repetitive but gives good insight to her overall unpleasant relationship with the press

Llegó en perfecto estado y mi esposa lo está amando. Aunque tardó más de lo esperado, casi un mes pars que llegara.

I didn't know anything about CBK beyond post mortem tabloid snippets & the famous wedding dress. I'd seen a good looking 20-something JFK Jr roller blading & riding the bus around town, but never gave him much thought. This bio, drawn from significant research and interviews with multiple sources, presents CBK as a smart, vivacious, happy, savvy woman who had a strong career in the fashion business - rapidly rising at Calvin Klein which was no small feat - and many friends long before JFK Jr arrived in her life. Oddly, the book offers as much of a look at JFK Jr as it does CBK. His friends - many of whom considered CBK to be "non-prep school, non-Ivy" - saw her as a threat to their proximity to John & were the source of many of the vicious, cruel, lies that were spread about her. Really? Did they think he was never going to grow beyond the cool college guy into a 39 yr old whose wife would be more important to him than they were? The paparazzi hounded her until she became reclusive yet she was criticized for not working after marriage. She couldn't leave the apt because paps were positioned there 24/7. Her experience w/them is described as something close to trauma & her husband seemed to not understand it even though his mother was notable for getting a restraining order against 1 particular aggressive pap. CBK is pushed against an elevator by a mob of them & her husband does nothing. Much was made of her low dose antidepressants that washed up on a beach after the crash - sounds perfectly natural for someone to seek psych help after years of being hunted. It's not until p. 238 that one of John's friends is quoted as saying what I'd begun to think - why isn't he at least moving her to a building w/a doorman? hiring security? Why is a couple whose celebrity has become so enormous so quickly without professional management for business & social purposes? John's magazine was launched just as the internet starting the decline in paper magazines why not push re-set with business management? John seems completely out of touch w/reality when he claims that his mom raised her kids in NYC so why is CBK reluctant to get pregnant w/JFK III? He totally ignores that John's mother lived in the White House when he was a toddler and then married Onassis to raise her kids on a private island in Greece to get away from the publicity following his father's assassination. She wasn't pushing a stroller alone in the narrow streets of Tribeca! The author gives a balanced account of the marriage to the extent that any outsider could. They died before they'd been married 4 years so there were adjustments to be made & given that they were both Catholic wouldn't have taken divorce - if it was ever mentioned - lightly. It's a good and credible read.
