Don Cardi dc How much more does the book tell you than the movie? [/b][/quote]A whole lot more. I really liked the movie, but after reading just half the book, the movie doesn't even come close to the book. The book begins by telling you just how Donnie Brasco worked his way up to getting in with Lefty. Then it goes into many details regarding his dealings with Lefty. Put it this way, I am a little more than halfway through the book and it is just introducing Sonny Black! A great read so far. Don Cardi [/b][/quote]I couldn't agree more, I've read it twice so far and if it wasn't for other books to be read I'd read it again. For years I've billed it as the best mafia book. It's such a fast read.
So die all who betray Giuliano

"The Magus" by John Fowles. Nothing to do with the Mafia, of course, but none the worse for that! Tremendous read. The next Mafia book I will read will be "Cosa Nostra." Mick

I'm currently a third of the way through "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown. Unusual style, but pretty good so far. I'm also re-reading "Wiseguys" and "The Godfather Legacy"

Originally posted by Don Cardi: Cacaterra's new book, which I think is titled " New York Paradise." About a young boy whos family falls victim to the mob, and this young boy grows up to become a policeman and some how tracks the mobster to New York. Anyone know of this book or read it yet?
Don Cardi It's called Paradise City from memory. I love working in a book store, I can order things in for myself left right and center as soon as I see them. It's due to arrive in Australia at the end of the month, and I'm dying to read it, I've loved everything by Carcaterra. His biographies and fiction works were brilliant. Right now I'm reading Gone With The Wind, but I have only a chapter left, so I'll start The Godfather Returns tomorrow.

Besides the mob, I'm also a Star Wars buff. I try to alternate between SW and Mob books. So now I'm reading "Star Wars Medstar II: Jedi Healer". (I know, call me geek, I'm used to it) I'm close to finishing it, chances are I'll finish it on the train this evening. So, the next book will be...
War of the Godfathers - William F. Roemer, Jr or Roemer: Man Against the Mob - William F. Roemer, Jr
I came, I saw, I had no idea what was going on, I left.
