Excellent portrayal of the swinging fifties and sixties despite Eddie's glorified view of his "amazing voice" - which was really just so-so - as evidenced by how many records he actually sold vs. Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra - etc. Still - his depiction of his marriages to Debbie Reynolds and Liz Taylor was enthralling - as was the story of the filming of Cleopatra. There is a movie in here - if only you could forget his life after he split with Liz - it goes so sadly downhill. But the really sad part is - you just don't care about the guy - he was really an asshole.
I really enjoyed this book. Found out a lot I'm not sure I wanted to know. If anyone is interested in this era of Hollywood..this book is a MUST read!
An oldie but goodie. Very scandalous.
