His Way

The Unauthorized Biography of Frank Sinatra

By: Kitty Kelley

Narrated by: 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.

Critic reviews

"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.

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.

Anna Fields harsh voice makes it almost impossible

we all know how truthful the press is and much of the book was repeating stories from the press written by a gossip columnist. you make your own decisions.
