I saw this in our local bookstore for something like 399 Philippine pesos and I waited for five years to get it for a mere 20 pesos at a second-hand book shop. It was worth the wait because the book is a rehash of every other Kennedy biography. I have read plenty of Kennedy bios and when I read this book, I could practically identify from which book the information came from! The conversations Taraborrelli details here are so fake, so cloying. I find it unbearable when biographers "imagine" conversations. The only redeeming factor is that Jackie, Ethel and Joan are presented in a generally realistic light. Obviously the biographer tried to be unbiased. But other than that, this book is the cheapest way to go through other well-written Kennedy bios (such as the one by Collier and Horowitz)
