Summary: The BEST of The Cline bios; portrayal honest & loving
Review: Ellis Nassour began researching Cline's death long before there was a "Coal Miner's Daughter" or a "Sweet Dreams" and to date, with all of the Patsy Cline biographies out there, I can assure you after reading them all that "Honky Tonk Angel: The intimate story of Patsy Cline" is by far the best. I've owned this book since 1993 and I still pick it up at least once a year to read it. Nassour has gone to great lengths to portray Cline in a totally honest -yet respectful- way, interviewing countless friends, music legends, family members and acquaintances. He doesn't take information from other sources as other authors have since - he is THE source for all things Patsy Cline. After reading this book, you'll see Cline professionally and personally, in her highs and lows - you'll love her even more afterwards! Of all of the biographies I've read, this one is so beautifully written - it's as if you were reading Patsy's journal its so personal! If you're a Cline fan or just interested in who she was, do yourself a favor and read the best book ever written on her!

Summary: The career of Patsy Cline
Review: Focus was primarily on Patsys career and secondary focus was on her life but only in terms of how it realated to her career. If you want to know in agonizing detail the steps her career followed , down to which recording she did on which day, this is a great book. If you want to get to know who Patsy was as a person this is probably not the right book. I found it to be a somewhat mechanical and sterile view of Patsy Cline the person. Not an adaquate treatment of her life with Charlie or her children.

Summary: This is the best...It will make you cry and laugh out loud~
Review: From a Patsy Cline fan's point of biew, this book is THE BEST. It made me cry huge tears at all the sadness and tragedy in Patsy's life -- especially in how the ups and downs in her life, the auto crash and, finally, her death are presented. When I wasn't crying, it made me roll with laughter, especially the stories of Patsy's sheer determination to make it big no matter what, no matter who; and the stories that Faron Young told out of school are, well, very naughty and bawdy, but funny as hell.Ann Marie

the books out there about Patsy Cline, and this is by FAR, the very BEST! Patsy would be very proud herself! This is absolutly
a 5 star book, the very best! BobPOP

Summary: Honky Tonk Angel, Accurate, Honest, Revealing !
Review: I enjoy reading Honky Tonk Angel again & again. It's such a honest book & evokes memories of that fabulous period, the 50' & 60's when I knew Patsy & she was singing her heart out. I congratulate Mr. Nassour for writing the truth. It shows she was human like the rest of us. As a singer, no one can take her place. Her music has touched the hearts of millions everywhere. Her "Sweet Dreams" keeps us dreaming on & songs like "I Fall to Pieces" remind us we're vulnerable & have hurts in our lives as well. Her music & voice are timeless--one reason that people still listen to Patsy. The book has photos I've found no where else, & there are more (plus great stories) on the book website@ patsyclinehta.com. The book captures Patsy's life so poignantly that I sense the emotion behind each word--emotion that evokes a star who fell before her time. Faye Morgan

Summary: Honky Tonk Angel: The Intimate Story of Patsy Cline
Review: I have been a Patsy Cline fan since I was six years old. This book has been in my Patsy collection for eight years. It is THE MOST comprehensive view of Patsy's life that I've ever read. (And I have "a few of those OTHER books" in my collection as well, but they don't even come close to Mr. Nassour's very informative and compelling look at the life of the one and only Patsy Cline. THE BOOK to read, ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!!!... You've found the one and only book on Patsy Cline that you need, That is Ellis Nassour's: Honky Tonk Angel: The Intimate Story of Patsy Cline.
