Book Reviews of Sammy: The Autobiography of Sammy Davis, Jr.
Book Review: Poorly edited-Read "Yes I Can" instead
Summary: 3 Stars
For beginners, this isn't bad. But those who are familiar with "Yes I can" and "Why Me?" (the Davis bios that this book was edited from) will not be happy. Too much of the good stuff from "Yes I Can" is missing, such as Sammy's guilt over his treatment of James Dean and his own mistreatment at the hands of other children and teenagers. Those were some of the most moving parts of that book and they should be included here. Oh well, you can always read the original.
