Exhaustive Detail. Long the subject of speculation across the U.S., the 1,200-page manuscript of the book has proved to be something of a shock to just about everyone. Re-creating the events on and after the day of the assassination in exhaustive detail and in sometimes mawkish language, it describes Jackie Kennedy's every thought and emotion after her husband's death with such fidelity that the Kennedys-who have not read it but are familiar with its contents-feel that it contains things far too personal to print.
