Summary: Gossipy and filled with love and admiration
Comment: George Jacobs is a good man. He dearly loved his job and "Mr.S" His account of his 15 years with Sinatra give you a glimpse of the Chairman that no one else ever has. It was really cool to read about the mob, the kennedys, Marilyn Monroe, Sammy, Dean, Peter Lawford, from an entirely new perspective. Sure, there is a ton of information about Sinatra's love life, but it is all fascinating. Mia Farrow, as usual, comes across as a nut. Jacobs' feelings about the later years' Sinatra is sad but moving. A fun read.

Summary: Take a Bow, Mr S
Comment: 'Mr. S : My Life with Frank Sinatra' is a candid, yet warm, portrait of a great American. George Jacobs writes with affection and respect, never once descending into character assassination or prurient insinuation. On the other hand, Jacobs is careful to avoid hollow flattery, so his memoir is not an attempt to present Mr Sinatra as St Francis of Las Vegas. This is Frank with his shirt off and his pants down. And his pants hurriedly zipped up before Marilyn's husband came in. And his pants torn as he scrambled over Ava's side fence. And his pants ripped to shreds by a Rottweiler while he was skinny-dipping in Greta's pool. And his pants set on fire when Princess Grace smoked afterwards. And his pants left behind as he fled out the back door of Mrs Giancana's house just seconds before Sam drove up. As Jacobs writes on page 157, 'The only thing larger than Frank's capacity to womanize was his trouser bill, which in 1961 totalled $64,573.'
Frank Sinatra left behind a prodigious legacy, mostly in blue or grey cotton, usually crumpled and always without identification in the pockets.
