I liked that you could see what the president did before he became president. I think it was also so boring, me is don't like reading really nonfiction like true stories but some of them I do. The book itself was really interesting and you get to learn a lot from the book

A great tribute to my favorite president

This overview of Kennedy's life focuses on his childhood. Probably appealing in content to a young audience, the stilted dialogue unfortunately does little to engage to reader. While this book gives a basic introduction to the life of JFK, it is only that-- an introduction.

It was not a fun book. I learned a few interesting facts but that is is.
