About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Kennedys were always taught to win at all costs. And they did - but the costs were unimaginable....

Across decades and generations, the Kennedys have been a family of charismatic adventurers, raised to take risks and excel. Their name is synonymous with American royalty.

Their commitment to public service is legendary. But, for all the successes, the family has been blighted by assassinations, murder, fatal accidents, mental illness, drug and alcohol abuse and sex scandals.

To this day, the Kennedys occupy a unique, contradictory place in the world's imagination: at once charmed and cursed; familiar and unknowable. The Kennedy Curse is a revealing, fascinating account of America’s most famous family, as told by the world's most trusted storyteller.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Book well written. Narrator does voices, they grate sometimes. History well served as biographies go.

A compelling story, well written and researched. I wish the reader had resisted the temptation to read the quotes in a Kennedy accent.

Fascinating book, great insight, I thoroughly enjoyed it........apart from the infuriating music between chapters. This really detracted from the book.

This book was a fascinating insite into the Kennedy family and how they chose to live their lives. Each generation took risk and most of them backfired resulting in them paying the ultimate price. Not sure if it was curse or just bad carma.

Interesting read

I didn't know very much about the wider family, only JFK's assassination, and this was the ideal book tracing the family throughout the decades. An unbelievable story really - had it been fiction, it would have seemed absurd for so many tragedies to strike one family. The level of detail was just right for me and I enjoyed the non linear storyline. The narrator was great, except for the female voices, but overall this didn't spoil it for me. If you are relatively ignorant about the family, this is a perfect book.

Excellent as an overview

Very well written and structured account of the Kennedy family. The non-linear style works extremely well and the narration is superb.

I listened intently over 2 days and was well worth it.

Would highly recommend to anyone interested in finding out more about this prominent family or details of the so-called ‘Kennedy curse’.

5 stars all round!

Super narration for this
