This book gave a wonderful impression showing just how great of a President JFK really was. The book adequately described major events which took place, as well as events which may have not been known. Every detail in the book was very significant in the life of Kennedy and its description. The pictures also helped adequately describe his life, and give a great representation of things Kennedy has partook in. I have learned a lot about his life, and learned of events I did not know he took place in. I also learned of very significant things he has done for America, and how he greatly influenced the world and its events. I learned a lot of things that I did not know about Kennedy. The book has various strengths, especially the mention of very important subjects, such as civil rights, which mean a lot to people. The only weakness to the book is the mention of JFKs wife and brothers early life, which is not very significant to John F Kennedy or his Presidency. However, the later life of these two is very significant to the Presidency, since both had tremendously helped JFK. I agree with the thought that Kennedy was a very good President, since he had tremendously impacted society. At first, I thought this book would not be interesting to me. However, upon reading this book I found it very interesting. Kennedy had a surprisingly interesting life, which I learned a lot about. I also learned a lot of interesting facts about his life
