In Black & White Life of Sammy Davis Jr. by Wil Haygood
I disliked the way this book was organized. It did not read like a typical bio
at all. The first two chapters were about the previous collaborative biographers
of Sammy's and their writing and publishing nightmares of "Yes I Can". I
couldn't tell if this book was about Sammy or his previous biographers. The
narrative is fragmented and repetitive. The story was too roundabout to capture
my interest. I found it infuriating and I gave up half way through. Sorry I
cannot give this bio a good recommendation.
