Rating:  Summary: Pretty good book. Review: I took a long time to even pick up this book because I was biased. Also because I read the above review I just thought it was going to be awful. I was wrong. Jackie Callas is telling the story as SHE sees it. We have to remember that we'll never know the real truth behind the Callas family saga. Everyone (Evangelia, George, Jackie, Maria and of course all her associates and friends) has different views. The book is very easy reading and the only fault I found with it is that it moved really fast through their lives. One page Onassis marries Jacqueline Kennedy, two pages later he's dead. Oh well, maybe that's how Jackie saw it and he was insignificant in her life so why not pass through it quickly? Overall the book is not as terrible as I thought and if you love M. Callas read it if not anything but for kicks.

Rating:  Summary: Jealous sister wants her 15 minutes Review: This book is an outragous display of blantant jealousy. The book has 3 parts - Sisters, The Sister (Maria), and Me (Jackie). But all 3 sections are filled with just as much self-gloating, self-pitying arrogance as the next. Jackie seemed to live out her dream of upstaging Maria Callas through her mother (since she was no longer alive to defend herself). I do not recommend this book, for it seems far too inaccurate and bias towards the fact that Jackie thought the world was prasing the wrong sister. It should have been been her up there.
