From School Library JournalGrade 57 The excitement and glamour surrounding Kennedy's presidency are evoked in this book. Although it begins, in the current style for biographies, with an incident from his later life, the chapters are arranged chronologically, cover broad periods of his life, and are aptly titled. Anderson, who obviously admires her subject, usually refers to him as "Jack" throughout the book. While she mentions that some critics have said his term lacked greatness, she does not attempt to assess his current standing with historians. She acknowledges help from several people who had personal contact with Kennedy, and provides a lengthy bibliography. Feelings and thoughts are occasionally mentioned, but the book is generally free from fictionalization. It is written in a clear and readable style, with helpful explanations of terms children might not understand. While several of the photographs are a bit blurry or distant, a useful map accompanies the section about Kennedy's PT109 experiences. Quotations from some of his more famous speeches are included, and an epilogue offers a few of the many tributes paid after his death. A short appendix describes the aftermath of the assassination and the Warren Report. This is a more complete account of Kennedy's life and work than Barry Denenberg's John Fitzgerald Kennedy (Scholastic, 1988), although Denenberg's book gives more description of Kennedy's family and personal life. While obviously useful for school reports, both the subject and writing style should make Anderson's work of general interest as well. Jean H.
