Book Reviews of Sammy Davis Jr.: My Father
Book Review: Another perspective of the famous entertainer
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed Tracey's book. I have always admired Sammy Davis, Jr. and have read all of his books. His daughter's book provided another opportunity to get a glimpse of the great soul that we knew as Sammy Davis, Jr. I also admire Tracey for her insight as she described coming to grips with the relationship that had existed between herself and the parent who was so often absent and preoccupied elsewhere for most of her younger years. This book accomplished its goal as far as I'm concerned; Tracey paid a tribute to her famous father, while admitting the downfalls and heartaches along the way. Yet, despite all, there developed a loving bond between father and daughter - it occurred late in the day but nevertheless, did occur. This book is obviously not meant to be a literary classic. But it definitely ties up the loose ends for those of us who loved and remember Sammy and wonder about how his passing affected his family and those closest to him. In the last few pages, Tracey writes about how her father 'visited' her and reassured her that he would always be there for her, to watch her son and daughter grow up. You are left with no doubts.
