Generation Xer says: "Good Read"

As a generation "Xer" this book intrigued me for one shallow purpose at the forthright. John F. Kennedy, Jr. was and will always remain in the public's eye as a sex symbol. I was glad that the author started out with something familiar when introducing her book. Beginning with the how and why of John's appointment to the sexiest man alive was something that I remembered and could identify with. Without any knowledge of the Kennedy "clan" as she terms them, and even less historical knowledge, I could identify with the placement of John on the cover of People magazine. While I had heard of President Kennedy's alleged affairs it came as a shock to see other members of the Kennedy family hold such little esteem for marriage vows. The author really brings Jackie Kennedy down to earth and sure makes me long for her happiness and admire the strength of such a delicate looking woman. She certainly isn't short on male companionship and some of her relationships leave you wondering why she didn't just go it alone. The details behind John's relationships are intriguing and the relationship with Madonna was particularly surprising to this reader. The author paints the picture of John being less than the smartest Kennedy but far outshining with his personality, athletic abilities, and Kennedy charisma. The well-known ending is tragic and left me with the same sinking feeling as I did watching the T.V. hoping his plane would be found or by some chance to find out he hadn't been on board at all. A good read for anyone wanting more information on the Kennedy family and most importantly on John Jr.

Not much about last few years of life

I enjoyed reading this book it was very informative and easy to read. However, there was NOT much written about his romance and marriage with CAROLYN BESSETTE -LESS THAN 5 PAGES!! This disappointed me. Tons of info about his youth and school days were revealed, even about his dabbling with narcotics. But, if you want more recent biographical material this is not the book.

John-John was our prince of camelot.

This book outlined John's life so well. Its detailed and shows numerous pictures of this fine man. Hes only one, and that is John-John, our prince of camelot.

Very good reading if you felt you watch John Jr. grow up.

I felt I grew up with John Jr since he was close to my age and was always in the spotlight. This book revealed how much of the spotlight he was in and how he graciously tried to handle it. Obviously there couldn't be very much information on him and Carolyn's relationship but the book helped me through the mourning period and handling his death a little better. I felt I lost a brother too when he died. I couldn't put it down.

Excellent book very informative

Prince Charming is a fast-reading, wonderful and informative book. It gives real insight into the life of JFK, Jr. and is very well written .
