From "a master of precision" (The Observer, London) comes an explosive, provocative novel about John F. Kennedy's years in the White house: his political daring, his brave dedication to human rights, his devotion to his family--and his uncontrollable and unrelenting appetite for sexual adventure.

- Taut, magnificent prose: Mercurio's premise--to chronicle Kennedy's exploits, political and sexual, through the President's own anguished but self-centered perspective--is bold to the point of hubris, but he succeeds in spades. The writing is elegant, spare, and wry; the narrative is exquisitely paced. The book's ending is emotionally shattering-- empathetic, redemptive, and shocking.

- Startlingly revisionist portrait of JFK: We see Kennedy at his best, as a visionary statesman, a former soldier turned moral pacifist, a loving parent and devoted husband. And we see him at his worst, as a compulsive philanderer whose countless conquests--of movie stars, socialites, secretaries, and interns--ruined hundreds of lives.

- Amazing cast of characters: They are all here: Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Peter Lawford, Angie Dickinson, Judith Campbell, LBJ, Fiddle and Faddle, Eisenhower, and perhaps most memorably, Jacqueline Kennedy.

Great for super chewer.
Color: Red
Update to original review: After leaving initial review the seller reached out and asked how to fix it the issue. I was willing to try same product again. They sent me two and I have had no problems with either of the new ones. Great communication from seller. My dog loves the treat In the center and chews on the product forever. She has not been able to get the top off of either of the new ones. Thanks!

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE SIZE.
Color: Red
I take full responsibility for not paying closer attention to the size specifications. If you have a smaller breed like a Yorkie, Maltese, or a toy Poodle, this product is perfect for your pup. However, for larger dogs, this is utterly inadequate. It won't entertain them for even 20 seconds, let alone 20 minutes.
