The House of Kennedy

By: James Patterson

Narrated by: David Pittu

Now with an all-new bonus chapter—in the bestselling The House of Kennedy, “James Patterson applies his writerly skills to real-life history . . . re-telling the political clan’s rise and fall and rise again (and fall again) with novelistic style” (People).

The Kennedys have always been a family of charismatic adventurers, raised to take risks and excel, living by the dual family mottos: "To whom much is given, much is expected" and "Win at all costs." And they do—but at a price.

Across decades and generations, the Kennedys have occupied a unique place in the American imagination: charmed, cursed, at once familiar and unknowable. The House of Kennedy is a revealing, fascinating account of America's most storied family, as told by America's most trusted storyteller.

Critic reviews

"When I wrote my first novel after several nonfiction works about politics, James Patterson lovingly lambasted me for infringing on his thriller territory. Now I know how he feels as he crosses into political nonfiction with this juicy and entertaining look at a family that continues to wield power and influence. He's too good--it isn't fair!" --Jake Tapper, CNN anchor and author of The Hellfire Club

narration was great and loved how the story and facts unfolded. definitely recommend this

Enlightening!

As a lifelong reader of JFK, ( I'M 51, btw;) I was quite surprised to discover some of the information that had not been repeated anywhere else that I have previously read.. I thought it would be a more tedious read, but I couldn't shut it down! 🎯I thought there couldn't be anything to surprise me about "The Clan of Kennedy" by now, but I stand corrected, and feel in good company as well!

This is one of the most complete works on the entire family that I’ve ever read. I am enamored by the Kennedy family and often think how much more they could’ve done for our country had some of their lives been cut so tragically short. The audible edition is narrated well and makes the story even more inviting. I did not want to put it down and it did not disappoint.
