Great fun . . .

A light-hearted and fun romp through the lives (including some childhoods) of major Sopranos characters. Wonderful pictures, too. If you enjoy the human aspect of the series, this book is for you.

Singing the Praises of "The Sopranos: A Family History"

"The Sopranos" is a landmark in the history of television. Themes and motifs previously avoided on the small screen are common fare on this exquisitely written series. In writing this book, Mr. Rucker has performed an act of extraordinary generosity appreciated by all fans of this weekly drama. My only criticism, however slight, is to echo the complaint of a fellow reviewer and neighbor of ex-President Clinton, Mr. James P. Finnegan from happy Chappaqua, NY. Like Mr. Finnegan, I felt that the ever-lucid writing of Jeffrey Wernick would have been better served in a longer introduction. This a paltry criticism based on a personal admiration for Mr. Wernick's eloquence. Nevertheless, this tome has my unqualified 5-star recommendation.

A MUST FOR ANY SOPRANOS FAN!!!!

This is most informative book of any tv series.The auther goes to great length to tell us about all the major characters and events over last 2 years.Everybody is here including articles about some of the older family members we hear about in the series also Mr Rucker goes to into great detail to tell us how the family earns and what the wiseguys earn and how the wiseguys earn and this is what makes the book so unique.,but what impressed me most is that the book is written as if the sopranos were a real crime family. I think that every angle of every character has been covered the book just does not leave anything out and with interveiws with all the stars, this book is a must for all of you who like me have been sucked in to the lives of the sopranos.Excelent,Supberb and brilliant.

FORGETTABOUTIT! THIS BOOK ROCKS!

I was expecting to see some cheesy rehash of everything we already knew about the Sopranos -- but man, was I wrong! I was simply blown away by this companion book. The chapters not only introduce each character for newbies who aren't familiar with the series, but provides tons of little tidbits about everyone's history that almost reads like a novel! There are great items like newspaper clips, FBI intercepted e-mails, profiles, and clever design elements that give the whole story behind the story. there's even some complaint sheets from Livia's stay at the old folks home that are hilarious. The pictures are awesome -- the book overall is very beautiful and worth every cent. Even better, there are interviews with the cast and a longer one with series creator David Chase. This truly is a collector's item, and should be on the top of any Sopranos fan Christmas list!

Must-Have for All Sopranos Fans!

All the info about the first seasons of the most exciting, complex, and addictive drama on TV today - the episode summaries, the characters (all of them), and most unique - backstory on the characters. Lavishly illustrated (with lots of never-before-seen photos), interviews, quotes, FBI stuff. Even readers who know ALL about the show will be impressed. And new fans who want to catch up with the experts will get a chance. It hasn't been publicized a lot, but this attractive volume is a keeper!
