His Way

The Unauthorized Biography of Frank Sinatra

De: Kitty Kelley

Narrado por: Anna Fields

This is the book Frank Sinatra failed to stop, the unauthorized biography of one of the most elusive public figures of our time. Celebrated journalist Kitty Kelley spent three years researching government documents (Mafia-related material, wiretaps and secret testimony) and interviewing more than 800 people in Sinatra's life (family, colleagues, law-enforcement officers, personal friends). Fully documented, highly detailed and filled with revealing anecdotes, here is the penetrating story of the explosively controversial and undeniably multi-talented legend who ruled the entertainment industry for more than fifty years.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The most eye-opening celebrity biography of our time." -William Safire, The New York Times

"A compelling page-turner...Kitty Kelley's book has made all future Sinatra biographies virtually redundant." --Los Angeles Herald-Examiner

Good Insights into 'Ol Blue Eyes.

A smooth read. Slowed during casino license investigations, but a solid biography. I recommend it.

Insightful Accounting of Frank ‘s Life

Well documented biography that provided truthful access to Frank Sinatra’s impact on millions of people worldwide. It is an amazing account of the power of money and brut force. His story cheapens the lives of honest, hard -working people. Kitty Kelley finally to us the truth. Shame on all the US Presidents who took Frank’s money and protected his illegal activities then presented him honors.

Review of My Way

Very good read.Enjoyed the comments by author after each chapter.Good read for all Sinatra fans.

A Good Read - but...

I've listened to all of Ms Kelley's biographies here on Audible, but there's one glaring inclusion here which doesn't exist in the other texts - at the end of every chapter Ms Kelley gives the names and dates of all she gleaned info from. Usually these are given at the end of a book as a Bibliography or at best at the bottom of a page as Footnotes. We don't really need to know all of her sources, (though I recall there was a problem when she conceived the biography & intent. Perhaps these were included to demonstrate that she was not writing ANY fiction - just stating actual facts...)
To have them all read out like the rest of the text is extremely off-putting to me, as well as interrupting the flow of the narration. Other than that it's an enjoyable look into Sinatra's life, which I've enjoyed more than J Kaplan's "Frank: The Voice".

Seemed Fair

Very interesting book and I learned a lot. Seemed to be well researched and fair.
