Summary: A sweeping saga, an incredible book
Review: This book is so great on so many levels. It is an immigrant story, a fabulous history of the famine plauged Irish coming to America. The story begins here of a Fitzgerald coming to America for a better life. It traces the family history of birth, life and death before arriving at the life of John "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald, mayor of Boston. It then becomes a book discussing Boston at the turn of the century, before becoming a poltical history of Irish Boston politics. Fitzgerald besides being a famous Boston mayor, is also the father of Rose Fitzgerald. After Fitz's demise the book turns to Rose, her life and her relationship with the son of an Irish ward boss and pub owner Joseph P Kennedy. Of course the book turns the Kennedys and their family. A family full of ultimate success and complete tragedy. It covers the family for slightly more than 100 years starting with a babtism of a young Fitzgerald to the inaugoration of the first Irish Catholic President of the United States John F. Kennedy. An amazing book and a must read for any Kennedy historian. 5 stars

Summary: Unbelievable book!!
Review: This is by far the BEST book about the young Kennedys. It tells about the history of the Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys. Even if you haven't got the slightest interest in the Kennedys or dislike them, READ THIS BOOK! And if you like the Kennedys YOU MUST ABSOLUTELY HAVE THIS IN YOU COLLECTION! There are so cute and adorable photos!! Never seen them elsewhere! I really hope that Goodwin will write another book about the following years, because this book stops in 1960. This is such a good book!!p.s. Buy the other edition, this one hasn't got any photos.
