Better than Billy Noonan’s Book!
Revisado: 12-30-19
I enjoyed this book. It was kind, thoughtful, and reflective- just as its subject was. Compared to “Forever Young,” by Billy Noonan- this book was so much better. We didn’t learn anything salacious about john or carolyn because there was nothing so bad or unusual about them. A good read overall.

The Kennedys—their poise, the family secrets, and their grace in the face of unimaginable tragedies—have captured the imagination and interest of the public for more than fifty years. Now colleague and friend of JFK Jr. Matt Berman offers us a unique look at John's life as both a professional and "regular guy." When talented creative executive Matt Berman took a meeting with John Kennedy Jr. in 1995, he was immediately hired to serve as George's creative director, thus beginning an unforgettable journey, both personal and professional.

A touching and poignant memoir
Revisado: 12-16-19
Having just finished Billy Noonan’s self-serving, tasteless book, “Forever Young,” that really was more about Billy then John- I craved something kind and real. This book was it. Matt did a wonderful job of capturing John’s essence while also paying tribute to beautiful Carolyn. It was sweet...it had great stories... it didn’t try to disparage them in their deaths (like Billy’s did). I highly recommend!!!!

For 25 years William Noonan and John F. Kennedy, Jr. were best friends. Sharing an adolescence in Hyannisport, Massachusetts, the two frequented beach bonfires and the Monday-night yacht-club dances, took road trips, shared albums, sneaked cigarettes on the widow’s walk of John’s house, and scored beer together. And as they grew older, John and Billy never lost the connection they forged in the Kennedy compound as two young boys who had both tragically lost their fathers.

Skip this one!
Revisado: 12-12-19
I recently took up running which affords me a lot of time to listen to books on audible. I started this hobby around the 20th anniversary of JFK Jr’s death, so needless to say- I’ve listened to a lot of books about him- most of them really good.
Billy Noonan’s book was okay for me for most of it. Sort of dull and self-serving but tolerable. It got down right bad towards the end. He slanders the memory of Carolyn like you would expect from a wanna-be spurned lover and he makes John’s last months on this earth all about him (Billy).
Quite frankly- Billy doesn’t seem like that likeable of a guy. Death and grief are hard for anyone but he manages to make that all about himself too...not wanting to join in masses or remembrances or pay his respect to the Bessettes.
If you want good Kennedy books- try What Remains or Fairytale Interrupted. Skip this one. It will leave you feeling hollow.
