Book review – “Rat Pack Confidential” by Shawn Levy

Entertaining look at the coolest dudes of the late 50s and early 60s, before the 60s got too wild. I expected Frank to be angry and Dean cool and Peter Lawford a mess despite all the good fortune that came his way, but the most touching character was easily Sam Davis Jnr, constantly fighting for approval. Also have a new appreciation for Joey Bishop who seemed to be highly professional and hard working (not that I didn’t expect this about Bishop so much as I didn’t have any opinion of him). It’s perhaps a bit too much to blame them for killing Marilyn Monroe.
