review 1: The mid 70s is a period of many changes in Jackie's life, and I am fascinated by a woman who kept reinventing herself despite all the blows in her life.So I was naturally drawn to Jackie After O, sadly after seeing blatant errors, the book has lost all it's credibility to me. I write online movie guides and accuracy is my priority. I cannot imagine writing a fact without searching and double or triple checking an information. Jackie driving a Mustang in the 50s? no unless she had found a time machine to travel to 1964 to get the first Mustang car manufactured. Wearing her pink Chanel suit on that faithful day? When you have read a little about it, you learn that it was a knockoff made in the Usa. JFK died on November 23? Almost there, try again!It's very poor researches t... moreo me. Seriously how on earth can you mess up with JFK's assassination date?! Eagle eye readers or Kennedy fans might find more.By saving a few bucks for not hiring a proofreader/an editor, you lost another reader. I'll look again for an accurate biography of the last chapter of Jackie's life.Quite funny when you consider that the author wrote about the time when Jackie became a book editor!
review 2: I was greatly disappointed in this book. Any author who screws up the date of JFK's asassination has lost me from the get-go. Despite its title, this is really not about Jackie after Onasis. It includes episodes of her life during the year just before and after Onasis died, but the bulk of the book is about her time as First Lady. Books about Jackie O have been done to death and I had thought this would be a little something different. It's not. A lot of her information sounds as if she's lifted it straight from the tabloids. less
