I just finished reading this book. I want to guess that the book was partly written as therapy for the author after the events he describes in the last few chapters where he finds himself suffering with PTSD.

As far as the actual events go, I found it an interesting perspective on being the son of a major crime figure. He told it as the dutiful son, and I think he maintained that voice throughout the entire narrative. I found myself wondering what I would have thought/felt/done if I'd grown up in that same environment.

It probably isn't a wealth of information about the lives of crime families, but I thought it was a well told story that flowed easily from beginning to end.
