Reviews

Kaplan writes with an addictive wiliness, vigour and feeling that suit his subject...to a tee - Daily Telegraph

Authoritative and enjoyable...important too - Sunday Times

A wealth of entertaining detail about the singer's career, gnawing personal insecurity, lavish sexual indulgence, and obsessive musical virtuosity - Observer

Evokes a sense of period with crackling energy - Daily Express

Very few writers can write coherently about what makes music work. Fewer still can tell what makes it profound. Kaplan can - The Age

At last, Sinatra has the biography he deserves - The Irish Times
