I sobbed my way through this book. For me, part of the world died when Jackie O left us (same as Princess Diana). A friend, knowing my perspective, insisted I read this book. Klein is a great writer and the dignity of Jackie's final days is moving.
Superficial, unrevealing, aims for sensation.
Very interesting, learned some things I did not know previously.
