Jackie Oh!

By: Kitty Kelley

Narrated by: Gabra Zackman

She was the definition of White House style for too brief a time. And as a private citizen, we couldn't seem to get enough of her. Here is the inside, outside, upside and downside of our own American princess. Tragic, heroic, private: the image of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis remains the image of an American icon that will never lose its ability to charm and fascinate.

Factually incorrect but interesting listen

Well-written but poorly researched. Many Kennedy myths and urban legends are presented as fact. I was disappointed that Mrs. Kennedy was portrayed as being callous, tempermental, and money grubbing. I have read many accounts contrary to this assertion. While I am sure she was not without character flaws, it just seemed to me that the author had an agenda to possibly malign or sensationalize. Still a terrific read/listen.

Interesting Life of JBKO

Interesting read on how Jackie became who she was.

Who knew that she was really an insecure snob and a manipulative mean girl with an affinity for horses?

Wonderful

I really enjoyed the story even though I’m sure a lot of it is embellished it’s worth listening to.

Piercing portrayal of an icon

I enjoyed this audible very much. I come away with a new understanding of Jacqueline Kennedy who now occurs as a troubled soul, lost, selfish, insecure and caught inside the mind and body of an 18th-century French woman. Her qualities are not to be admired.

I thought Kitty Kelly did a wonderful job of pulling back the curtain on perhaps this country is most misunderstood woman.

Truth? FACTS? I’d take the fifth.

I’d take much of this with a grain of salt. So some of what was written I know is inaccurate as it’s direct opposite has been published more than once. One should not write with such “authority” on a subject of which she has no definite insight.
