Summary: The best of the Lot!!
Comment: I've read all of the Sinatra biographies, and Taraborrelli's is the only one I would recommend. This is the book that tells Frank's story in the most balanced way, and in a way that makes Sinatra's life really come alive for the reader. I actually could not put this down, and I especially enjoyed the parts about Frank's many romances. He was a complex man, but I think he tried to do the right thing ... though he often was not capable of doing it. Taraborrelli writes with a lot of compassion, as if he really cared about his subject -- and that makes the book even more readable and believable. This is really the best Sinatra biography published to date!

Summary: Ultimate Sinatra Book
Comment: I read it from cover to cover and enjoyed every minute of it, every page. Thorough research and an invigorating writing style really bring Sinatra to life like never before. It's gritty, for sure. But very true to Sinatra's experience. As a big Frank fanatic, I would recommend this book. I've read them all, and this is the only one that makes him seem like more than just a skirt-chasing mobster with a good voice.

Summary: 5 STARS * * * * *
Comment: Let me tell you, THIS BOOK IS AMAZING. This biography is one of the most respectful, carefully written *TELL ALL* books I've ever read. This book tells you soooooo much info on Frank, it's unbelievable! It's almost as if you're standing in the studio with him, or in the middle of one of his notorious fights w/ Ava Gardner. You feel like you're RIGHT THERE. I thought I knew a lot about Mr. Sinatra, but I was proven wrong. Randy Taraborrelli (the author) gave it to you straight; he threw the whole story at you, but unlike a LOT of other books, he supplied proof to back it up. He interviewed many of Sinatra's old friends from his neighborhood in Hoboken, as well as fellow actors and musicians who knew Sinatra best. On top of all of that, there are 2 sections of black and white pictures and 1 color section. To sum things up...the author obviously had respect and admiration for Frank Sinatra, but he didn't hold back Frank's bad qualities...he let them all come out, all the while praising, respecting, and keeping Ol' Blue Eyes' memory alive!!!! A+
