"I listened to this on books on tape and it was really very good! I had no idea that Frank Sinatra was such a rough and tumble guy as this. Definitely a good read!"
"The albums and songs exist as a window into the heart and soul of a man quite similar to my own. This biography offers shading ... and in doing so, offers the reader a greater appreciation of "The Voice", "The Chairman Of The Board", "Ol' Blue Eyes" ... Frank Sinatra!!!"
"I found this not only to be a fascinating biography on Frank Sinatra, but also a revealing look at some of the other famous lives that Frank assocated with: Ava Gardner, Jack Kennedy, and Marilyn Monroe. An amazing singing talent, Frank lived life excessively in terms of drink, women, and his mafia associations. This book reemphasizes to me that fame and money does not ensure happiness, in fact, it rarely brings happiness at all. Frank dated (and married) some of the most beautiful women of his day, yet all his relationships seemed devoid of anything substantive. At the end of it all, I think he realized that if he'd just stayed with his first wife, Nancy, he could have lived a pretty happy life and avoided so much pain and loneliness.
In his later years, he depended heavily on alcohol and pills to ease his torment, yet through it all (and I've just watched some of his appearances on Youtube), he exuded so much power and confidence. His life was riddled with mistakes, misunderstandings, lost friendships and empty relationships. As often is the case with superstars that can have anything they want, this incredibly talented person led a private life of tragic chaos.
I thought this book was well-researched and very insightful."
