American Adulterer by Jed Mercurio 

American Adulterer is the story of John F Kennedy told as a historical novel.  In my mid-30s, I went through a JFK kick.  Like many, I was fascinated by his continually contradictory life.  He was a brilliant visionary that represented the new age and attitude of our society.  He overcame considerable health issues, was a war hero, and negotiated our country through one of its most tense and defining periods.  He was a great communicator and unifier and represented so many things that our nation aspired to be.  He could also be a bit of a scumbag.  His story isn’t complete without highlighting his history of selfishness and infidelity.  

This book covers his full story and a range of characters including LBJ, Marilyn Monroe, and Frank Sinatra.  It reads like a novel and presents historical events with a uniquely fresh perspective.  

At 350 pages or 11 hours, it is an average length read that is very enjoyable.
