Book Reviews of Why Me? The Sammy Davis, Jr. Story
Book Review: A FASCINATING LOOK AT BEHIND THE SCENES OF STARDOM
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book, I had no idea what the blacks in the US had to go through, having grown up in Australia. Sammy had a big chip on his shoulder which he carried throughout his life but it is understandable when you read what he went through. This isn't just a boring story of a star's life, it is a fascinating look at racism, politics, being rich beyond your dreams and in debt for millions - a great read.
