The Kennedy Debutant

Interesting novel. Some truths, some fiction. Easy read.

Dithering Story Telling

What is surely fascinating subject matter sadly turned into rambling dialogue and a poorly written narrative. I had high hopes for this novel to learn more about the Kennedy clan and the WWII era, as well as the little-known Kick, however the author failed to engage me mostly due to the distraction of aimless, dithering narrative. The editing failed to improve this fictional account, and the story could have been told more effectively with half the words. Disappointing overall.
