Helpful Score: 1

I cannot understand for the life of me why this book received rave reviews .... Mario was merely a con man sociopath in a time before the word was ever invented .... how can a boy worship a father that brutally beats his mother all the while calling her horrendous lowdown street names in front of his son many, many times and he has many affairs with women openly with the entire neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen knowing.

I wanted to find out why he killed his first wife (should've known since Mario was a perfect example of a narcissistic controller and controllers don't like the word no or to be pushed aside), otherwise I would have put the book down after the first wife beating .... not to speak of anybody else who dared cross him about anything .... the man was a sociopathic BRUTE.

His mother should have gone with her gut feeling in the beginning of the relationship.
