Book Reviews of The Andrews Sisters: A Biography and Career Record
Book Review: Andrews Sisters Book - a jewel
Summary: 5 Stars
I read reviews of other Andrews Sisters books in several venues. None sounded good. I saw this book advertised in Classic Images/Films of the Golden Age, the definitive publications on famous entertainers of past times. I was delighted that Amazon had it or could get it.
The Greek sisters who had love/hate relationships with each other and were some of the best known singers of all times are enigmas. This book describes all their accomplishments, personalities, fights, foibles, and strengths. Other books were reviewed as just being lists of their professional products/songs. This book tells it all, including a little known fact about Maxine.
If you are a fan of this era, the Andrew Sisters, or just good writing, this is the book for you. It might seem a little pricey but it is huge. It is worth the price.
