From AudioFile

The subtitle of this book, "The Fall and Rise of Ted Kennedy," clearly explains its focus. Kennedy, often derided as an intellectual lightweight with a troubled career, has served in the Senate for a long time and with increasing distinction. In abandoning his hopes for the presidency, he cemented the legacy of his entire family. The book offers a solid one-volume biography that shows how his place as the youngest in a high-powered family shaped his political and social life. Skipp Sudduth's narration style exactly matches the book's tone. He's easy to listen to as he varies his tone, inflection, and pace with the gravity of the material. His diction is clear and easy on the ears. A first-rate job all around. R.C.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
