Title: Oh...the drama!
Product review: I struggled through this book, reading painful page after painful page. If it were not for my personal interest in Sonny Liston, I would not have made it through. And at the end of it all, I was left feeling cheated, uninformed, and ANGRY (I felt similarly after seeing "Showgirls"). Now, in my mind, Nick Tosches owes me some time.Tosches tries too hard. Tosches mistakes melodrama for poeticism.I'll recap the meat of the text for you here and now:Sonny Liston grew up poor. Sonny Liston became a criminal. Sonny Liston learned to box. Sonny Liston was really feared. Sonny Liston was connected to the mob. Sonny Liston died of heart failure. The End.Avoid this one.
