Book Reviews of Dream Lovers: The Magnificent Shattered Lives of Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee
Book Review: The best of the Darin bios
Summary: 5 Stars
Of all the Darin bios this one is my favorite. Darin and Dee's son Dodd, along with his collaborator, did a lot right and really fleshed out both people so that I felt like I had some idea what they were like. I also felt like I got to know Dodd, and he's a man any two parents would be proud of. He was brave and honest in his portrayal of his parents, and in approaching some estranged relatives and friends for their input.
My only regret is that Dee had the advantage of going through the book and requesting changes because she felt it was too hard on her. These changes were then made in accordance with her wishes. Darin had no such editorial advantage since he was long dead when it was written. So it feels like Dodd's bending over backward (tho' understandably given that his mom's feelings were at stake) to be accomodating to Dee, while (also understandably) unable to do the same for Bobby.
But a great dual bio of two fascinating and appealing stars: one damaged physically and doomed to a short life, and one damaged emotionally and unable to enjoy her longer life.
