Amazon.co.uk Review
Tipping a knowing wink to Mafia pop culture and armed with a stylish mix of wickedly black humour, richly textured drama and savage violence, The Sopranos has quickly consolidated its position as a masterpiece of modern television. Frankly, to miss it is to be denied a superior cultural treat. Pleasingly, this official guide to the show is not a bog-standard episode guide with dull analysis. Indeed, author Allen Rucker has taken the clever and witty route of presenting the world of the Sopranos as a series of FBI files, wire-tap transcripts, confidential e-mails, seized evidence and the like. Whether it be Tony's relationship with his family (or the inner workings of "his other Family"), this approach works an absolute treat and allows readers to really immerse themselves in this vivid and engaging world. It is surprisingly effective as well, with elements that are only hinted at in the show wonderfully fleshed out, such as Tony and Carmela's teenage love letters(!), how Mob money is divided and Anthony Jr's school psychology report. Only in the last section of the book do we return to reality with an interview with Sopranos' creator David Chase, an in-depth episode guide and profiles of the cast (nearly all of whom are Godfather/Goodfellas alumni). With such lavish and inventive attention paid to it, this guide cannot fail to please, easily enhancing your enjoyment of a show that exposes most TV as mindless dross. Can you really refuse an offer like that? --Danny Graydon
Product Description
This work follows the life of Tony Soprano, a mafia crime boss from New Jersey, as he juggles his life in the mob with his family relationships and his psychiatrist. This is an in-depth look at the fictional world of the Sopranos, a multi-award winning US tv show. The family, friends, therapists and the FBI tell the story of Tony Soprano and his dual life. They are all here, his wife Carmela, his children, his mother, Livia - what a nightmare!, and his cronies from the mob. It's all wrapped up in the reflections of the woman who knows things about Tony even his wife doesn't know - Dr Melfi. This book has a collection of intimate personal details, never-before-seen family photographs and documents and stills from the show. It explains the history of both families and how they ended up in the web of love, deceit and psychotherapy that is the Sopranos.
