Negative Positive
Title: Okay but...
Review: After discovering what a great vocalist Engelbert is, i then wanted to study his life but this biography leaves a lot to be desired. He did not go into details about key moments throughout his life and it seems he is holding back something through the whole book. His infidelities were handled with a surgeons glove, which is fine if he is protecting those closest to him and the guilty ones involved but his life with his showbiz friends and insights to his world were full of shadowy figures and leaves us in the dark most of the book. I'd love to have read about his spirituality and his innermost thoughts on how he sings the way he does would have been a start. If this is a "revealing" biography he forgot to be revealing. He is still one of the greatest vocalists to ever sing.
Is the review positive or negative?
