Fairy Tale Interrupted A Memoir of Life Love and Loss RoseMarie Terenzio 9781439187678 Books

I listeded to this on Audio and appreciate the fact that the author read it herself. Unfortunately I found it to be slow-moving and ultimately not very interesting. It was nice to learn that Kennedy was a warm, kind person who treated her well and that his wife Carolyn was also a kindhearted girl's girl who loved to plop down on the couch for a chat. Maybe this felt a bit flat to me because I had just finished the poetic and beautifully written book What Remains by Carole Radziwell and this could not compare. If you are interested in learning about John and Carolyn from an insider, and you appreciate a well-written book, I encourage you to give that one a try.

Fairy Tale Interrupted A Memoir of Life Love and Loss RoseMarie Terenzio 9781439187678 Books Reviews

Before ordering this book, other reviews had expressed disappointment in the fact that the book is about the author - not the life of John Kennedy. It ends up capturing a 5-year period of Kennedy's life when he headed up "George" magazine in NY. However, the literal day to day description of those 5 years from the perspective of his personal "admin. assistant" tells you more about the "person" of John Kennedy and his wife Carolyn than any media story ever has - in my opinion. I couldn't put this book down - didn't get much done in my daily life until I finished it!!! I felt that she beautifully captured the "real" guy JFK Jr. and gives the reader a candid view of the private persona versus the world's perception. I was completely fascinated because I've always believed that there is a real person behind all of the "HYPE".
I not only loved this book, I also needed this book. It was incredibly cathartic. I'm a professional writer, and I disagree with everyone who said it wasn't well written. It is. For people who say there is too much about the author she's the protagonist! The book is about her journey. I've been in show biz for many years, and I know what it's like when you're the nobody standing next to the person everyone worships. It's a complicated thing to try to live with, and that is what the book is about. The pictures we get of John and Carolyn are so honest and frank, I feel like I now know them. I read this book in two sittings, and it's going to stay with me for a long long time.
Hated this; a poorly written tale by a hanger on with little detail and insight. More about the author and her needs and ambitions than about the couple. Frankly I am embarrassed I bought such a book designed only to make money for the author. We need to stay out of this late couple's life.
While exact, word-for-word conversations from so many years ago would be difficult for anyone to recall, with Ms Terenzio you get the idea. John and Carolyn were fascinating and tragic. This book will tell you just enough without delving into any of the grittier details that are none of our business (and frankly, make them more human and relatable to me). As a kid on the cusp of adulthood when they died, I still see John as a perfect if not typically imperfect man, and Carolyn, well...I wanted to emulate her style then and would have loved to watch it evolve to today (I imagine her with full brows teaching all of us victims of the skinny 90s brow trend what's what...)
One gets the sense that the author is a bit of a Forrest Gump-type character in the lives of John and Carolyn. Most notable in times like how they were on the phone consulting with her in their apartment just before John famously asked the paparazzi to leave his new wife alone. But hey, I wasn't there so who am I to say it didn't happen. There is no doubt that the author was close to John, and positively adored him, so if you are looking for an affirming testament to his roguish, charming character, with flaws and all, this is your book. Carolyn by all accounts (all two of them that I have read by people who actually knew her), seems to have been warm and friendly and frankly, looking for allies in John's crazy world- and more comfortable with less fancy folks...folks with humbler upbringings like her own. If their problems were as ugly as you might read in other books, you won't get any dirty here. No amount of dirt, at any rate, can erase what a tragedy it for them to go so unexpectedly, and while they were so young and full of promise.
