Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Even if you’re not a fan of Ol’ Blue Eyes, Taraborrelli’s mesmerizing Sinatra is worth reading to remind yourself that, at its very best, showbiz biography can be both an art and a craft.” Daily Mail (London)
“Narrator Robert Petkoff provides an enthusiastic, playful tone. His deep voice lightly characterizes such celebrities as Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr….The pronounced emphasis of this audiobook is on Sinatra’s personal life.” AudioFile
As Taraborrelli brushes away cobwebs of myth and rumor, his remarkable research and fluid writing captures Marilyn's elan, sensitivity, desperation and despair with a haunting intimacy. Publishers Weekly (starred review)
...filled with enough strange and wonderful anecdotes, and tales of love, greed, and horrid excess to fill a stack full of Jackie Collins novels. NY Journal of Books
A vivid account of the family's rise to fortune. New York Daily News
