Title: As good has we are likely to get.
Product review: Levy's book is not great, but it is good. He neatly contextualizes the five personas within their historical/social time frame and in fact demythologies this whole Rat Pack stuff. The book is quite tragic in away. Their spotlight together was brief. Their ends turbulent and sad. Levy is a fine writer...BUT (at least with the Dean Martin segments) he seems to lift passages from other sources. When you read the Martin chapters, you realize that Levy is just restructuring Nick Tosches' fine words from DINO. But hey, if you're going to emulate a writer, it might as well be Tosches.
