This is definetely a mans book. We all know this is what is going on in America and how sad that good men are succumbing to this corruption. The good life is hard but if good men join forces with black hearted souless men so they can have an easy life who will protect us woman and children from them? How many lives have been ruined by the kind of men Mr. Corbitt writes about? Is America a better place because of them? No way!
As a woman I was turned off by the language used in this book and the violence but more than anything I am sad because if this is what boys have to look up to these days as role models then not only are all the men doomed but what hope do us woman and children have against such darkness? Only the Spirit of Gd can stop such a group.
I gave the book a 4 because it is a true story, although some information seems a little far fetched in that if the CIA is involved with the mob and take monies from them then forget about families and woman/children our whole country is screwed if we let this continue. Anyone person who has the moxy to stand up to corruption and tell the truth gets a high score in my book. If only more people had this kind of moxy and stood up to the mob aka organized crime and joined together and did what this man did by coming forward and exposing this criminal underground think how much nicer and safer our communities, families would be. When a boy has only this kind of existence to look forward to how empty is that life, not just for him but all of us? Very empty indeed.
