insightful and interesting

This look at JFK's early years is very amazing. I loved the idea of exploring his early years in depth. As a school teacher, I realized that so many of the students we see as average students or pranksters have great potential! The book shows JFK's relationship with his older brother as being very strained. I didn't realize they were so competitive, but this book points out how competitive they really were. I loved this book! If you are a fan of the Kennedys and are looking for a glimpse into the young life of JFK, this book is the one.
