Summary: READ THIS BOOK!!!
Review: The virtue of JACKIE ETHEL JOAN is the information it provides on the latter two woman. These three brides of Joseph and Rose Kennedy's surviving sons all inherited lives far from the mundane when they married their husbands.Unlike the more famous--and justifiably revered--Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, Robert's wife, Ethel, and Edward's first wife, Joan, are far less well-known. Author Randy Taraborrelli provides valuable insight into their characters for admirers of the Kennedy clan. Joan's story is particularly touching, and not well-understood. Readers with a deep interest in the Kennedys will find JACKIE ETHEL JOAN to be worthwhile reading.

Summary: This book is fantastic
Review: I loved this book. If you are really interested in learning about the Kennedys like I am, you will enjoy it. I have read about Jackie alot, but I really enjoyed reading about Ethel and Joan. Their are tons of family secret type things that are really unbelievable! I read it on a summer vacation and it was great beach reading. :)

Summary: An In-depth look at all three Kennedy wives
Review: There are a million books on Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. This finally is a book that looks at Ethel and Joan also. They are very important in the careers of their husbands also, but lack the glamour and mystery of their sister in law. This book is a fine story of the three sisters in law and their relationships with each other, their families, the Kennedys, and the world. The book is very detailed and sometimes disorganized, but well worth reading.

Summary: FASCINATING READ!!
Review: All in all I have to say the book was excellent. Contrary to what some readers have claimed, this book DOES add some new insights on the Kennedy's. Many argue against the truth and merit of this book, but I say those people are the ones who don't wish to have their illusions about the Kennedy women dashed. Many of the facts included in the book can be easily verified. In fact I admire Taraborrelli for taking many delicate issues and disussing them skillfully and in a way that isn't offensive. IN response to a specific comment made by a reader, Taraborrelli never said Jackie was jealous. He said she got fed up because she realized what a loose cannon Marilyn really was and how serious the situation could actually get. Make sure you know the difference.
