I enjoyed their first conversation with Edie Falco, who portrayed Tony Soprano’s wife, Carmela ... It is funny to read that Silvio was the only one who could bring bad news to Tony just as Van Zandt used to do with Bruce [Springsteen] ... Michael and Steve don’t recount episode by episode in the book, instead focusing on great singular moments ... a wonderful reading experience, thanks to all the memories, stories and behind-the-scenes anecdotes ... To quote Michael and Steve in this fun and complete retrospective, 'Some things never fade away.'
In this surprising, humorous, and heartfelt trip down memory lane, HBO's groundbreaking series The Sopranos is fondly remembered by those most involved in its creation and phenomenal success ... This nostalgia-inducing, funny, and thought-provoking tribute rises to the top of works about The Sopranos.
There are plenty of tantalizing bits of trivia...but this isn’t just a trivia collection. Mostly it’s about friends and colleagues getting together to pay tribute to one another and to a series that rewrote many of the rules of television ... For Sopranos fans looking for something a little less overwhelming and more personal than The Soprano Sessions (2019), this one is an absolute must-read.
This entertaining guide delivers...with interviews that get up close and personal ... What makes this sing is the passion and energy brought by Imperioli and Schirripa and its indelible tribute to the late James Gandolfini ... This is the ultimate book on The Sopranos, made by the people who lived it.
There’s plenty of news here ... Devotees will revel in the stroll into series minutiae, from the accompanying music to how characters were slated to die ... In many sections, the conversation goes deep ... Essential for fans, with a revelation on every page.
