This was an awful book. Not only did the author contradict herself often, but publishing something like this for a profit is just distasteful, crude, and disrespectful. Mimi Alford is an opportunistic, self assured, sellout with no business in the publishing industry. The book only received three stars from me because, while the time period and JFK presidency are interesting to me, her account of his personal life was somewhat numbing. It's only a matter of time before we see this story on the Lifetime Movie Network.
