This was made very engaging by the way the author presented the facts of the story

I have read many true crime autobiographies and at first thought this might be another one of the same old stories by a mobster who snitched and then cashed in on his former life. What makes this one different is how self critical the author is about how much of dirt bag he really was. This book does not romanticize criminal life at all.

Moreover I’ve read a few books about Whitey Bulger and this one definitely adds more important, personal context. That guy was truly evil.

If you read this book, look up what the authors been up to since it was published. It really makes you wonder how sincere he was about reforming.

An incredibly moving memoir that will guarantee to have you in deep thought. Narrated by the author himself with an amazingly authentic performance.

One of the best audiobook narrators I’ve heard. Really makes the book interesting and exciting. Plus the book not only tells a great story but gives extra details about historical and social contexts that tie everything together.

Really interesting hearing about mob life from the perspective of a wife and son. If you’re already familiar with Philly mob history this book gives a different context.

Agree with what another reviewer said about the narrator’s accent- sounds like it might be Baltimore? A little quirky but doesn’t make the book less enjoyable.

This was an informative and entertaining firsthand account of crime history. But a lot of the chapters are written as long lists of people or places. Some of the stories seem to jump around a lot. I think the book could have benefited from following a sequential narrative.

The book doesn’t feel very honest and introspective at all. There’s some entertaining anecdotes. I really enjoyed hearing about growing up in Oakland during the author’s early days. There’s some interesting insight about the club. But other than that it’s basically the author going on and on about how great he is. Almost no vulnerability shown as an author or a man. That gets boring and actually annoying.
