 My father's daughter February 7, 2007

Really enjoyed this book! Tina did a great job of giving us some insights into her father and some of his actions.
I can't imagine that any Sinatra fan would not enjoy this book.

A LONELY MAN February 23, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Of all the "Sinatra" books I have read over the years this one gives the greatest insight into how lonely the genius Sinatra really was. Throughout her childhood she watched. She watched and took in the tantrums, the frustration, the misery, the elation and the more sinister aspects of the mans life.
A frank account of Sinatra, (excuse the pun) from a daughter born in the first success period of Sinatra's life.

I have been exposed to Frank Sinatra's music all my life, and been a fan of his since I was 9. However, after reading this book, I feel I know him in a way like never before, in a more detailed, intimate way. I truly understand the kind of man and person he was. Tina does an outstanding and thorough job explaining the man her father was, from all points. She describes what he was like as a father, husband, friend, performer, etc. She leaves nothing out, nor does she sugar-coat the story. She tells the truth, in an honest, loving, respectful way. I am proud to say I own this book, and have enjoyed it very much. It's a must for all fellow Sinatra fans. My hats off to her- great job, Tina!

Good Read!!!I have read several other books about Frank Sinatra which chronicle his childhood, the bobbysox years, the Rat Pack years, the Mia years, etc. However, this is the first book I have come across that goes into detail regarding his years of marriage to Barbara Marx & the last years of his life. That alone makes the book fascinating as it fills in missing gaps. Furthermore, the fact that the book is written from an insider's perspective helps in making it a riveting read. The book flows smoothly and quickly and I don't feel like Tina tries to sugarcoat her father' life (which is how I felt when I read a book written by Nancy Sinatra Jr.). Tina mentions both his good and bad sides and she is very candid in her feelings and emotions regarding her family and father. The only thing I really wonder is why did Frank stay married to a money-grubbing, social climber for so long? He could have had his pick of beautiful woman, so why her? I would love to know what was really going on in his mind regarding his last marriage, but as he is dead and gone we may never know.
