Editorial Reviews
Review
“A fascinating and flowing story, replete with details . . . This book has much to recommend it, and it is an excellent place to start reading about Sinatra.” — Leslie Gourse, Jazz Notes
“By far the best and most complete of the spate of books about Sinatra . . . takes an honest, non-judgmental tone with the singer’s life, but doesn’t sugarcoat anything. It is a far more elegant work than the bottom-feeders . . . Sinatra fans will want to pick up Clarke’s book.” —
Mark Chapman, Boston Sunday Herald“Effectively conveys a sense of the time and place in which Sinatra was important.” —
Publishers Weekly“The most objective view of Sinatra’s extraordinary life is to be found in Clarke’s All or Nothing at All . . . Clarke’s astute and succinct appraisals of Sinatra’s albums and live performances are the best.” —
Terry Lawson, Knight-RidderAbout the Author
