Jackie Oh!

By: Kitty Kelley

Narrated by: Gabra Zackman

She was the definition of White House style for too brief a time. And as a private citizen, we couldn't seem to get enough of her. Here is the inside, outside, upside and downside of our own American princess. Tragic, heroic, private: the image of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis remains the image of an American icon that will never lose its ability to charm and fascinate.

Truth? FACTS? I’d take the fifth.

I’d take much of this with a grain of salt. So some of what was written I know is inaccurate as it’s direct opposite has been published more than once. One should not write with such “authority” on a subject of which she has no definite insight.

Piercing portrayal of an icon

I enjoyed this audible very much. I come away with a new understanding of Jacqueline Kennedy who now occurs as a troubled soul, lost, selfish, insecure and caught inside the mind and body of an 18th-century French woman. Her qualities are not to be admired.

I thought Kitty Kelly did a wonderful job of pulling back the curtain on perhaps this country is most misunderstood woman.

Factually incorrect but interesting listen

Well-written but poorly researched. Many Kennedy myths and urban legends are presented as fact. I was disappointed that Mrs. Kennedy was portrayed as being callous, tempermental, and money grubbing. I have read many accounts contrary to this assertion. While I am sure she was not without character flaws, it just seemed to me that the author had an agenda to possibly malign or sensationalize. Still a terrific read/listen.

Interesting Life of JBKO

Interesting read on how Jackie became who she was.

Who knew that she was really an insecure snob and a manipulative mean girl with an affinity for horses?

Wonderful

I really enjoyed the story even though I’m sure a lot of it is embellished it’s worth listening to.

very average 😴

did not fulfill my curiosity regarding Jackie O at all. now I know she 🚬and hated a bunch of people...yawn. it was so pedestrian that Onassis himself seemed like the hero of the book. the Maria Callas parts were divine but she was divine herself at any way you look at it. five stars for Maria Callas three stars for Jackie O
