I Heard You Paint Houses: Frank the Irishman Sheeran & Closing the Case on Jimmy Hoffa by Charles Brandt

2.0

I was relieved when i couldnt open this e-book any more because the library took it back... maybe at about 75%. The first half was interesting if you are into reading about violent criminals but it really wears on and on after awhile... Like after some people start going to trial, and there are very long recitations of similar conversations about union struggles and lawyering, and lots of seemingly unimportant details that eventually become extremely boring. For example, I can only hear about individual cases of jury tampering so many times before I'm over it. And LOL at another 2-star review that suggests this is a sort of Frank S as Forrest Gump mafia figure, involved over at over at critical moments of major historical events... It does indeed defy credibility in many ways. Also, The Irishman is definitely a movie adaptation that is far better than the book it was based on, IMO. A slog.
