Stephen Bogart comes full-circle in writing this semi-biography of his father, Humphrey Bogart. The author interviewed several of Bogie's old friends and researched magazine and newspaper archives in an attempt to tell the entire unbiased truth about his father's life. In the process, he see's many moments in his own life which mirror's his dad's. Loved it!
Good book! I liked that Steve gave insight into his relationship with his mother, Lauren Bacall and that he wrote about his own life. It was very interesting. The pictures in the book were great, also. Unfortunately, since he was so young when his father died, he doesn't have a large source of memories of his father to draw from.
Great insight into the icon. A must for Bogie lovers. Well written by one who knew the legend as few did.
