This is a book about a great man, who happened to be an actor. A great read, of a guy who would be could be your next door neighbor. A guy who died way too young.

This bio was quickly put out. It is not a thorough biography. Did not answer many questions into this complicated but well loved man. But still it was very interesting. How people viewed Sopranos was amazing. The man was very troubled and had many problems accepting his own fame. Look forward to a more personal look at this sweet guy.

Very insightfully written and as genuine as "the Sopranos" itself.
Contains many interesting facts about the man behind Tony Soprano and his life leading up to the big role.

What a terrific book! A great fast read. Who know James Gandolfini was such a complex artist? Thank you Bischoff for such a clear and interesting portrait of an icon. This is a great Mother's Day, Father's Day, Birthday gift for the Soprano enthusiast as well as curious minds. You will not regret this purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much Tony Soprano but good anyway
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2014
Verified Purchase
The author could not get an interview with Gandolfini's close friends and family so he skillfully pulls together all the publicly accessible interviews and other material on Gandolfini. Mr. Bischoff is a good writer and certainly knows how to turn a phrase in an entertaining way. My only objection to this biography is the author spending so much time analyzing the development and impact of Gandolfini's most famous role - Tony Soprano. I don't feel that should have been focused on in a biography about a man the public knew little about on a personal level. That said, the author did a good job on all that he tackled in this book.

I just got done watching the Sopranos and was interested in reading about James as his true self. This book gave an honest and true background of his upbringing and training and career prior to his death.
A good read ..but a Life taken too soon.

Truly a very nice guy. Obviously one of the good guys and taken too soon - if you were a fan I would recommend this book. Well written but editing could have used a little more help. Wish the author would have dug a little deeper for more life stories but I guess he wanted to beat the rush and get it out for sale.
