From Publishers Weekly
Pulitzer-nominated biographer Heymann delivers a gawk-worthy beach read with this fascinating look at Jackie and the Kennedy clan in the aftermath of John F. Kennedy's assassination. Life for JFK and Jackie was less than perfect; one story finds him cheating on Jackie during their 1953 Acapulco honeymoon, leaving the new Mrs. Kennedy "by herself on the verandah." Still, Jackie's devastation was real; afterward, her love for his brother Bobby was equally genuine. Unable to find peace (her Georgetown home had become a stop for all D.C. tour buses), Bobby gladly volunteered to play surrogate father to her kids; before long, an affair began. According to Truman Capote, it was "perhaps the most normal relationship either one ever had." It was not necessarily simple, however; both saw a number of people while together. Promiscuity aside, the Kennedys were also notoriously "chintzy" in their personal lives-they didn't tip and employed undocumented workers at home- though Jackie fares marginally better. It's anyone's guess how the affair would have ended if Bobby hadn't been killed; just four months later, she married Aristotle Onassis. Heymann's research is top notch, with plentiful attributions, making this train-wreck love story a substantial guilty pleasure and a sizzling reminder of how the rich are different.

Voyeuristic
By Donald R McGovern
In an email, Amazon has asked me to share my opinion regarding BOBBY and JACKIE: A LOVE STORY. I can describe it using one adjective: voyeuristic. I gave it a two-star rating only because I didn't hate the book -- at least, that is, the seven chapters that I read. The inventory of testaments from this and that friend or acquaintance about surreptitious kisses and fondling read like a dime store romance novel. It all simply grew tedious and superfluous.
I bought the book not because I am fascinated by the Kennedys or actually care if RFK and Jackie O had an affair after the tragic murder of JFK, but I was curious about Heymann's references to Marilyn Monroe: there aren't that many. The one quotation attributed to her is not sourced and it doesn't appear in any of the credible biographies that I've read about Marilyn. Therefore, I discount it as a defense, as Heymann asserts, of her alleged affair with JFK. The alleged discussion between Hoover and an attorney named Clark Clifford regarding "a silent three-minute black-and-white film showing deceased actress Marilyn Monroe committing a sexual act upon a man whose face was just out of range of the camera" is humorous to say the least. The actual film is nearly thirteen minutes long, so I assume Hoover either had it edited or received an edited version from Hoffa. However, the man's face is clearly visible as the film begins. Whoever he is, he is clearly not RFK. The female participant's face is also clearly visible and she is not Marilyn Monroe, clearly. And trust me, the film was not shot in Marilyn's bedroom at 12305 Fifth Helena and it appears to have been taken with one of those very noisy hand-held 8mm cameras that were available in the 60s. Perhaps in 2009, Heymann didn't have access to Al Gore's amazing internet. Otherwise he could have viewed the full stag movie for himself.
Heymann is now dead, just like the persons he scandalized during his literary career. It is gauche to talk ill of the dead, those who can't respond or otherwise defend themselves against unscrupulous biographers, which apparently Heymann was. The general consensus is that he was a fabulist who never let the facts or the truth stand in the way of his story. In 2003, The Washington Post characterized Heymann's work as follows: "There are lies, damn lies and statistics … and autobiographies, biographies and books by C. David Heymann." The Post proclaimed that Heymann's books were "unfettered by live subjects." His biography about Barbara Hutton, due to inaccuracies, outright fabrications and an impending lawsuit, was recalled and pulped by Random House. Heymann was accused his entire career of dishonesty.
I don’t know if every word Heymann committed to paper regarding his assertion that RFK and Jackie O had an affair is truthful or dishonest; but there is no avoiding this: any person who takes C. David Heymann at his word is … well, foolish.

Heymann's work is simply not credible
By Lisa Pease
My in-depth review of all of Heymann's work appears here: [...]. I strongly encourage you to read the whole thing. Otherwise, here's a quick summary of just this book.
Heymann's book is simply not credible. First of all - and let's clear this up before we begin - he is NOT a Pulitzer Prize "nominee." That term is reserved for people the Pulitzer Prize committee selected as finalists. Heymann was simply an entrant - meaning, his publisher submitted his book in the HOPE of getting a nomination. I verified this both by talking to his current editor and by talking to the Pulitzer Prize committee.
Suffice it to say if you believe what's in the book, stay away from real estate brokers, as you are clearly at a disadvantage. He provides footnotes for items that are not new, and doesn't footnote his more astonishing claims. Heymann relies heavily on his purported interview with a guy who died several years before Heymann started writing about the Kennedys. And some of the more sensational claims for that interview are, surprise, not in his earlier books on the Kennedys. Did he only just rediscover things you truly couldn't forget on first hearing?
All the people who he has making extraordinary claims regarding an affair between Jackie and Bobby are dead. How convenient. If that's not what they said, they are no longer alive and able to sue.
Now perhaps Heymann is being fed bad information by his researchers. He credits a number of them for this book. Maybe Heymann is the gullible dupe. But his researchers didn't list him as a three-time Pulitzer Prize nominee when he wasn't. That was Heymann's doing. I suspect most other "mistakes" are his alone, as well.
I've tried to use his other books for research before, but his footnoting wouldn't pass a History 101 course. He'll source the right book in some cases but the wrong page number, and when you finally find the relevant passage, you'll see he quoted this wrong. For that reason, I'm unable to use his books in any of my own research. It's not worth the time to try to figure out what he got right.
If you like novels and hate the Kennedys, then this may be the book for you. If you have a serious interest in history, however, this book will not help you. And woe to other authors who quote from his unsourced claims. They'll reveal themselves to be shoddy researchers in a field mined with plenty of disinformation already.

Pure crap
By Anne E. Floyd
I barely got into this book before I set it aside. Having read "Five Presidents" and "The Kennedy Detail", the lack of scholarly research in this sorry excuse of a book was painfully obvious. It's nothing more than a compilation of rumors and trashy magazine conjectures. The Secret Service officers partying along with the president is such a load of crap - what's waste of my money!
