Yeah it's very expensive! My neighbor actually got a copy of eBay for around $20! It's a luck of the draw type purchase. Cheech from the board bought it and really enjoyed it so its all his much value is placed on the time you have to read.

Just started reading "Animal: The Bloody Rise and Fall of the Mob's Most Feared Assassin". What I don't understand, why does everybody present the people framed by Barboza as martyrs, in this case saying they were like Sacco and Vanzetti? I mean, of course they were innocent of that particular crime, but it's not like they were honest people who were victims of the circumstances, they were gangsters anyway (Tameleo surely was a multiple murderer). While there are people who are really innocent and end up in jail for nothing, it just seems not right to me to present a gangster frame-up as "the most clamorous case of injustice in the USA", as said in some newspapers. I don't condone Barboza's and the corrupt FBI's actions, but still, there are people who deserve to be called "victims of the system" much more than Tameleo and Limone.
Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:
1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down."
2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."

I've ordered it but not got it yet in the UK, is it about the history of Barboza and the gang wars of the 60's or does it just concentrate on the Tameleo and Limone trial? Thanks Tony

I have read only a small part so far, but it seems it isn't just the Tameleo and Limone trial, it's the history of Barboza's whole career. Thank You, looking forward to it.

You guys all need to spend the money and buy "Pleasent Avenue Connection" it's only like a $100. I would if it was available on Kindle. DP

As long as you guys are enjoying yourselves. Not sure what OG is but no worries. And again, I dont know who the poster is you think I am. Bye the way, to my knowlege, the only thing I ever got that fell off the back of a truck is a broken hand. DP

It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

I went ahead and ordered a kindle paperback. What the hell, it's the future and I love reading ebooks on my Ipad. To be honest, even if one prefers to read on paper, I think it's better to buy a kindle ebook anyway, because you can print it immediately after buying, while if you buy a normal book, you have to wait for the arrival, I personally never have enough patience.

My exact sentiments, too. They have an amazing amount of ebooks, too! Fuck the waiting, with Kindle you're good to go in an instant

My wife gave me my Kindle a while ago for a gift and I can tell you I really did not want it since I felt at the time, I could never part from having and holding the actual Printed Book. I am now to the point I cannot go anywhere without my Kindle. DP

I much prefer to read a book and proudly have all my books on a shelf, you can easily lose the kindle or it crashes and then what will you do. I agree, and sometimes look at all the books I have on my bookcase and think, "look at these great books" what a collections. But you know what?...someone will through them in the recyclables one day. The E Reader will become a new "Library Hand me Down". I my self would rather a hard copy fully stacked Library with collectable books left to me but I think one day people will be giving their fully stocked underegisterd Kindles to who they choose, for use as prepaid, without expiration.

Personally, I've never lost a phone or an electronic device ever as I am very careful. Crashing? Not very common with kindles according to reviews, but if that were to happen a simple reboot would do the trick. It's nice owning a copy of a book but in the end after you read it it just sits on a shelf, takes up space and collects dust.

Finally read Making Jack Falcone, great book about the Gambinos especially in the post-Gotti era. Some good stories of how DePalma took care of Gotti Sr in the can, cooked, bathed, and took care of him, etc. In the book they talk about how the Gambinos had 26 captains at the time but the FBI had only identified on their charts 20 capos. Garcia was updating his superiors as to who were the newly made guys/capos. Just picked this up at the library, first mob book ive read, actually pretty enjoyable. Garcia sounds a little full of himself, but i still am enjoying it. Is the Sammy Gravano book any good? Is there a good one on Massino? The Gravano book is real good, the best book on Massino is King of the Godfathers which is also a great read IMO. I read King of the Godfathers and it is excellent, however I also just read THe last Godfather- rise and fall of Joe Massino by Simon Crittle. There is a little duplication, but Crittle's book adds a lot of detail and new information and is the perfect supplement to "King"

 The Rifleman. About half way though the book and it's a good read, if you like to read the testimony of Flemmi's views of what went on and why, it's basically his version of every murder he committed or was involved in,and it's got some good pictures, obviously he makes himself out the good guy but there are no good guys in this story, I have it on Kindle and I think at the moment that's the only version available  but if you want a factual account of the Boston gang wars(at least according to Flemmi  ) it's a good read.
