Enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. Definitely worth checking out. I don't consider myself any sort of mafia type book person, but this was done really well. It's not focused on the gore, although it does reference murders. It's an interesting look at how things are/were? organized and work in the mob. Easy, interesting read.
Would have been great if it included the actual local newspaper stories related to each significant event.
Easy reading and easily adapted from page to screen. If you've seen Goodfellas, this is the source material.

I read this when I lived in Brooklyn and I couldn't believe this took place in East New York and Brownsville. Those neighborhoods have changed a lot.
