Title: Rat Pack Confidential
Product review: Clearly, this author owes a lot to Nick Tosches. Some of the dialogue could have been lifted right out of `Dino'. Aside from that, this is a light, entertaining read that serves as a perfect portrait of the rise and fall of the Rat Pack. Equal time is given to Frank, Dean, Sammy, Peter, and Joey, but as the book jacket read, "it was Frank's world, and we were just living in it." A common complaint of albums of that era, or any era, is that they tend to be packaged around a couple of strong singles, and the rest is fluff and filler. There are countless books of these men and their era, and this book serves as a greatest hits album, effectively bringing together all of the key moments in each man's life.
