(The author is Kitty Kelley, not Leo Kelley)).. Thee's a great collection of history in this book. Anyone who has even a small bit of interest in Frank Sinatra will have a hard time putting this one down for long. It traces the Sinatra family, Frank's early days, his marraiges, divorces, affairs, movies, friends, hoodlum pals, his rise and fall and bounce-backs. It's an easy read, well researched, and you really don't know the man until you read this one ! What a story !
I cannot fault Sinatra's singing voice. This book opens a look, very revealing about Frank Sinatra that cannot be found without a lot of hard looking in various places. Vignette's that, to me, reflect the reason (in my opinion) of the other qualities/negatives that made sure he became so successful. Passion (right or wrong, he was REAL and committed to his beliefs. He was very human and I rarely heard, in the press or anywhere, what really (might have according to "Kitty") what happened. Fascinating, (very covered up and not disclosed) insites into what happened, privately, in his life that gave/give me insight into "the man" himself. . he was very human and very extraordinary. The good, the bad, and the UGLY. . I expected no less and got same from this very revealing 2nd hand (as told by others) view of what "his life", taken out of context, yet, very revealing about him.. It's a great book, Sincerely, Andy Rigoli Avid Reader, 55 years young. San Diego, CaliforniaRead full review

Always like going back into the past. Brings back memories of things forgotten. Those were the days. Interesting things that were forgotten as life goes on. He had a very interesting life.

I wanted to read this book again to revisit the Sinatra mystique. I know the family didn't like it, but it gives a picture of Mr. Sinatra that feels true to life. I wasn't looking for history, but I was looking for a legendary life story and it's all here. Therefore, I added it to my library for a lively, trashy summer read.
