Book Reviews of Jolson: The Legend Comes to Life
Book Review: A Misunderstood Super Star- Al Jolson
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read several books about Al Jolson and I want to tell you that Goldman's biography is the most accurate and provides you with the best view of the very complex man, Al Jolson. The book is a must for people interested in the history of Showbusiness from the beginning of the 20th. Century until the 1950's. It gaves you a well-rounded view of the master entertainer, his strengths, his problems and most of all the reasons why Jolson was such a complex and dynamic man. Whether you are a Jolson fan or not, this book is a fabulous read. I recommend it highly!
