If everything in the book was true about Carolyn Bessette,then my god it breaks my heart that someone with that character could marry JFK Jr. He was so much better than her in every way possible!! She definately was NOT attractive....she looked like she was on drugs...nothing i could imagine JFK Jr with!! The stuff I read in the book made me feel disgusted by her.

After reading Michael's book, I see clearly how damaging abortion is to a woman. If Carolyn had not aborted her babies, she would have become a different person. In aborting her children, she developed an attitude that did not serve her well. I blame the abortion doctors and clinics more than the woman who aborts. If there were no doctors who agreed to perform this procedure, many many babies would be alive today. And many women would have different hearts and minds.

Certainly Michael Bergin was very wrong to resume his relationship with Carolyn Kennedy after her marriage, but I do not believe he deserves such harsh criticism. What a rotter *she* was! He pleaded with her not to have an abortion, but to marry him and have the child. She refused, yet continued to use and abuse him. I can easily believe that her mistreatment of him was damaging. She even tried to convince him that he was the father of the second child she aborted, when he had been far from her--on a business trip--when the child was conceived (and known to be seeing at least two other men). What a ruthless, unprincipled golddigger she really was! For shame...

I read Michael Bergin's book and it sounded sincere. I know it is hard to believe someone's story when the other character in the book, Carolyn, is no longer here to tell her side of it. But I truly believe Michael's love for Carolyn and I dont believe that he is lying. I think that those in the media who are calling him a rat and a liar are just trying not to damage Carolyns reputation. Either way theres no way to no for sure what really happened.

I think people are just jealous because they'll never be able 2 experience true love like they have so all they do is make fun of it, all he's doing is telling his side of the story if it were about some other woman no one would have anything 2 stay but how great the book was, but since it was about Caroline Bessette people made a big thing, but she was just as normal as us and that's why people r upset because they wanted her 2 be perfect.

I think that Michael loved Carolyn so much that he was willing to do anything just for one moment with her. That nothing else in the world mattered but just to see her and be with her. Maybe I am an optimist. I believe that he was addicted to her and she just had too many problems to actually be able to show him the love and devotion he deserved. Maybe she was a little selfish, who knows. All I can say is I think that Michael really did love her more than he could explain. How can people make fun of a love like that. Maybe none of us have felt it enough to be optimistic enough to believe. I don't know.

I'm sorry, but if you LOVE someone then you keep their deepest and darkest secrets. This guy is obviously only in love with one person - himself! If he really loved Carolyn he would have come out with a book that left OUT the adulteress and drug stuff and denied the other reports. He said she wanted his protection? Then he should have been a man about it and protected her, even in death. The "truth" did not HAVE to be told. But it sure will sell a lot of books.

DEAR JEN, IF YOU READ THE BOOK BEFORE YOU STARTED MAKING YOUR COMMENTS YOU WILL SEE AND UNDERSTAND WHY HE WROTE THE BOOK AND DIDN'T LEAVE HER MEMORY ALONE. HE WANTED TO LEAVE IT ALONE AND WOULD HAVE LIKED TO IF THE RUMERS THAT PEOPLE SPREAD ABOUT HIM WERE TRUE. UNFORTUNATELY THEY WERE LIES AND HE WANTED HER TRUE MEMORY TO LIVE ON FOR THE BEAUTIFUL PERSON SHE WAS. NOT THE MONSTER THE MEDIA AND EDWARD KLEIN (AUTHOR OF THE KENNEDY CURSE) MADE HER OUT TO BE. IF YOU EVER DOUBT FOR A SECOND THAT MICHAEL BERGIN DID NOT LOVE THIS WOMEN THEN MAYBE YOU HAVE TO DO MORE RESEARCH AND LOOK UP THE AGE-OLD QUESTION, WHAT IS LOVE?

The things people do to get back into the attention of the public. If he really loved her why in the world would he want to desecrate her memory by crying out to the world, "Hei, I loved her but she was an adultress" Should go back to stuffing himself in underwears.

Heh. I notice that the Post, which of course goes ballistic when, say, Viacom puts a Simon & Schuster author on a CBS show, somehow neglected to mention that Bergin's book is being published by a division of HarperCollins.

Ron -- based on his IMDB profile, he probably got it from his work on Baywatch, although it seems that the special Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding was filmed in 2003, after Caroline's death. Coincidence? I think NOT.

People who do this sort of thing after an individual dies, need a swift kick in the butt. really, what a moron.

An "ancient Hawaiian custom" I'm sure he learned about from Magnum P.I..
