Summary: A stylish lady's story.
Review: JACKIE STYLE is a book filled with the life of Jackie Onassis, an out of the ordinary experience that most mortals can only read about in the tabloids and imagine what it must be like to have been "Jackie" ... and with some really good photographs and a lot of commentary from today's designers and tastemakers, Jackie Style is a worthwhile book if you like Jackie ... which I do.

Summary: A Beautiful, evocative book
Review: Jackie Style is a delicious follow up to Ms. Keogh's first book, Audrey Style. She does such a lovely job of evoking time and place and how history can be read in the pages of what a first lady wears. Some of the pictures were new to me and quite wonderful to see. A great pleasure to leaf through!

Summary: ULTRA CHIC
Review: Jackie Style is a must read for anyone wishing to develop a personal style and improve both physical appearance and inner serenity. Jackie Style is a marvelously authored study of one of the most fascinating women of the twentieth century.FINALLY! Pamela Keogh goes far beyond fashion in her analysis of Mrs. Kennedy's style and this book, unlike so many others, demonstrates throughout the character and dignity of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. Biographies are far too often used to work out the private hangups of their authors with little to recognize of the subject. WARNING: Fans of trash journalism shouldn't buy this book!

Summary: A nice effort...but.....
Review: Jackie Style is a nice try to portray the American woman of the century as a style maven and great influence of style and fashion. But it doesn't really do that successfully. It's a little silly and uneven. But there are a couple of nice stories and some really pretty pictures. The price is way high, however, given what's out there in the Jackie book market.

Summary: Not a lotta book for the $$$
Review: Jackie Style is ok except that it costs about twice what it's worth. It isn't a long book, or a comprehensive biography, or even a coffee table picture book, so I can't understand why it costs so much. What I really can't understand is why I paid so much for it. There's no new news or great insights into her, her life or her style and the photographs, while numbering more than in a normal bio, fall far short of an "illustrated biography" like JACKIE HER LIFE IN PICTURES (which I really enjoyed). Some of the pictures are really nice, like the young married Jackie photos, but some are just candids that weren't too good to beging with and that's probably the reason they are "previously unpublished." There was a lot of promise about including Jackie's correspondance and letters in this book, but there's really only one, a short note to a White House photographer, and that one looks like a xerox copy of the real note...not the real thing, so I was feeling a little cheated by this book and its price.

Summary: Oh Jackie!
Review: Pam Keogh's clear and stunning portrait of Jackie Kennedy Onassis gives the reader aspects of this complex and intriguing woman from the inside out. It is a warm and visually beautiful view of JKO that goes beyond what she wore where. If you want a glimpse of the private Jackie, buy this book!

Summary: This is a TERRIFIC book.
Review: Pamela Clarke Keogh has written a terrific book, a breezy and "tongue in chic" look at the life of one of the most fascinating people in 20th century American history. . In telling this story through the framework of Jackie's style (certainly one of her most famous attributes), this book can touch upon all aspects of the life of Jacqueline Bouvier and explore how her style evolved, where it came from and how it impacted all of our lives. It's written in a breezy and totally approachable style, filled with fun stories, canny perceptions and some first rate reporting, there are these golden nuggets of information that have never been told before (and that's a rare feat, considering the huge amount of books, magazine stories and television reports that Jackie's life has generated). And then there are these wonderful photographs... As the author of two Jackie-related books myself, I was delightedly surprised to see some of the pictures in the book...they are unusual, rare, evocative and charming. This book is a delight!

Summary: Qu'elle "Rip Off"...
Review: Reading Jackie Style, which is what I did with great anticipation as I loved Audrey Style, left me sadly disappointed. The story of Jacqueline Kennedy has been told many times and this is a cut and paste job of most of the stories that have been out in public circulation for years and years. Then there are a bunch of magazine style features about Jackie's makeup (and how to duplicate it), her closet (and how to buy them) and how the many photographers who took the millions of pictures about her took them. It's sad, dull and offers nothing in the way of illuminating this most interesting personality. I don't recommend this book.

Summary: Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
Review: Save yourself the shipping and order several at a time. This book reminded me of my mother, so I bought one for her for Mother's Day, and she then gave it to my grandmother, and then bought copies for my aunt and her daughter, and now my sister in Baltimore has gotten one. We're starting our own Jackie Style book/fashion club. What's so wonderful about this book is that you start just looking at the pictures, and then you're drawn into her story, the history, her courage, her grace. It is inspiring. Well done Keogh!
