5.0 out of 5 stars A roller-coaster ride of emotional highs and lows, 19 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Judy (Paperback)
After reading this massive epic, I immediately dusted off my Garland video to watch the magic come alive on the screen. But for all the images captured for posterity, it was the sheer magnetism of Frank's writing that, for me, portrayed the emotional highs and lows of one extraordinary woman's very public private life. I actually felt the emotions. I laughed. I cried. I cringed. At times, not even believing some of the things written (although his research was meticulous, so much so, that I began to think he had been brought up with Baby Gumm and had followed her around like a shadow for the rest of her life). I consider that there are only two other major Garland books worth reading. Anne Edwards and David Shipman. In comparison, Frank's book is the more illuminating. But it is the sheer power of his narrative that compells the reader to carry on reading, to follow the roller-coaster ride that she started with 'Wizard of Oz' until the ultimate tragedy of watching a star burn itself out. One almost wishes for a sequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating !, 6 Nov 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Judy (Paperback)
I found this book so captivating it was hard to put it down. I became completed immersed in this account of a turbulent life, with many ups but more downs, sometimes humoristic, but often tragic. The author has gone to great lengths to be as accurate as possible in telling his story. One must admire Garland for the unbelievable talent she had, but what a tragic life to lead... Garland made choices the reader would never agree with, yet one can't help feeling sympathy for her. A must for Garland fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first "serious" book on Judy Garland's life and career, 21 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Judy (Paperback)
I'm presuming that this is a re-issue of the original hardcover book, "Judy", written by Mr. Frank in 1975.A comprehensive, in-depth and compelling look at her life, which answered many questions for this reader. A book which I'm sure became a reference point for some of those which were to come. An enjoyable read.
