If you are just getting curious of the mafia culture, this is a decent book for you. It's breezy, brief, and "cute" (aka: A good coffee table/bathroom book).
However, if you are anything BUT a "curious bystander", you will be HIGHLY disappointed! Just about every so-called "fact" in this book has been mentioned in nearly EVERY mafia-esq A&E biography/Martin Scorsese movie. It's common knowledge! If you are expecting to learn something new or get more in-depth information on a particular gangster, don't waste your time with this book!
