No other book in the history of publishing has assembled in one volume 80 years of pansexual scandals associated with the Kennedys-all in one guilty pleasure of a sizzling book. Meticulously researched, it showcases the indiscretions and extramarital romps of America's most famous political clan. In addition to lesser known and often shocking scandals about Jack (Mr. President), other parts of this pioneering page-turner will be devoted to Bobby and Teddy, with extra space reserved for founding father Joseph P. Kennedy when he operated as a libidinous Hollywood mogul. Paparazzi cameras zoom in on that uber-goddess of all things glam, Jackie, documenting her many love affairs, which were matched only by America's Prince Charming, her son, John-John, a horny young man with a gleam in his eyes. The Kennedys is illustrated with hundreds of candid photographs. Runner-Up in the category of BIOGRAPHY from the 2011 HOLLYWOOD BOOK FESTIVAL

Review
" Amazing, jaw-dropping, and mightily delicious. A feast for all Kennedy gawkers in a myth-shattering exposé of a family consumed by its own passions." — John McFarland
"So, with many hundreds of books about the Kennedys published over the years, you think you've heard all the deep dish, sizzling gossip and sexual intrigue surrounding America's royal family of politics and power? Think again. This buzz-rich exposé, culled from decades of intense research by a devoted team of Kennedy-philes, carefully documents the mind-boggling chain of triumph and calamity that has dogged generations of a dynasty both idolized and reviled by a nation. Pick it up and you'll be hard-pressed to put it down." — Richard LaBonté, Book Marks & Q-Syndicate

Camelot rebuked
Sep 9 2011
By wogan
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
`The Kennedys-all the gossip unfit to print" is an apt title. This is the epitome of what the scandal sheets would love to have printed years ago. It begins with Jackie's childhood, but does not cover JFK's childhood, instead it starts with his teenage years in prep school with his lifelong friend Lem Billings, who it is said was a friend in more ways than one. There is an index and several pages of quotes, such as; "the greatest twenty seconds of my life", "I never had Addison's disease", or another one from JFK "God, I hate Camelot" and an ironic dedication "Rest in Peace".
The book is set up as a series of articles, most with several black and white pictures; because of this there is some repetition of facts. The stories deal with rampant homosexualism, all sorts of sexual activities, there almost no hint of financial or political scandals.
Probably some of this is fact, some not, some exaggeration; but if what you want is one of the most gossipy reads on JFK and the family closest to him this is for you.

A terrible book - pure drivel
Jan 3 2012
By Datim Shopper
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a very poorly written book and would have been more appropriately entitled "Quilted Northern". To begin with it is full of grammatical errors, strangely disjointed paragraphs and lacks proper indexing of sources. As other readers have already noted, nearly every individual mentioned in the book was apparently either a homosexual, a bi-sexual or in the case of most of the women, oversexed sluts. There are relatively few new revelations in this book as most of the world is now aware of JFK's sexual antics, old Joe Kennedy's corrupt character, and so on and so forth. Apart from the more well-known facts, the authors have chosen to insert many far-fetched claims about the Kennedy's and a host of lesser known individuals with little or no supporting evidence. Actually, there are no supporting citations in this book whatsoever.
I was a fool to buy this book and you'll be fooled too if you choose to waste your time and money on this drivel. Caveat emptor! Buyer Beware - there are far better books about the Kennedy's out there and this isn't one of them.

Tabloid Rejects
Sep 21 2011
By Jennifer Nijakowski
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I purchased the book thinking it was an "expose" of some sort. However, after reading this book, I was wrong. The articles printed in this book seem to be hearsay and just flat out gossip. The authors seem hell-bent on labeling every person they come across as a homosexual or a cross dresser. While the stories of J. Edgar Hoover can be proven, the authors have all the Kennedy Men (and some Kennedy women), Members of the Rat Pack (including Frank Sinatra) as Swinging, Drug Addicted, Bafoons with Homosexual tendencies.
I feel that this book is just a collection of tabloid articles that were never published or just flat out "made up stories". The title says it right, "All the GOSSIP unfit for Print."
Unless you just want to be entertained, skip it.
