From Publishers Weekly
In this satirical debunking of the so-called Camelot presidency, John F. Kennedy, whose purported beyond-the-grave reminiscences are the substance of the text, emerges as a cynical, sex-obsessed egomaniac who took the American people for a ride. JFK says things like, "The simple fact is, I was telegenic," while his brother Bobby defends Joseph McCarthy's complexity of character, and Lyndon Johnson, commenting on the 1960 election, tells JFK: "You used me, and tossed me aside like a whore." Some of this is genuinely witty, as when JFK, about to meet Khrushchev, cracks: "It was like stepping into the pages of Orwell, for a chat with the head pig." But for the most part, Mayer ( Superfolks ; The Dreams of Ada ) recycles gossip and advances his own semi-surreal versions of events such as Marilyn Monroe's murder and JFK's assassination in a racy, sometimes amusing but highly forgettable fantasy. Joseph Kennedy, Lindbergh, Aristotle Onassis and "Jackie Zero," Martin Luther King, Hoover, Hoffa and assorted mobsters make appearances.

Comment On Based On Books I, JFK

Re-read the book I consider to be the best I've ever read that no one has heard of. It's still good.The book, written in 1988, assumes this: We get 25 years with out memories after death in either heaven or hell. After that, something else happens, and we are gone. This book is the last thoughts of JFK, writing his memoirs before he disappears forever.It's hysterical, funny, melencholy, and poignant. In it, JFK reveals all, includes his loves, his politics, and his father. Many of his

This was a fun book about John F. Kennedy. If your interested in the subject matter I highly recommend you read I, JFK.



This is one weird book. It's written by Robert Meyer, the author of SuperFolks, which was why I got it in the first place. SuperFolks was so wonky that I thought this would be cool.Basically, it's the story of JFK as told by JFK, narrating from a cloud about 25 years after he was assassinated. It's irreverent and profane, but it's wicked fun. And I actually learned more real history about JFK than I'd known up until I read this book.I definitely recommend it.
