Yeah, it bothered me too. I wish the bulk of the book would have focused on the late Sixties and Seventies-era Lucchese family operations and mob personalities. Instead, we get to hear how "Anthony made slow sweet love to Lillian that night" bullcrap.

If Carlo had any real kind of access to Casso for this book he missed a good chance to write a great mob novel. I think Carlo was writing a book to later be turned into a movie. The dialogue in that book makes my stomach turn, god awful imaginary bullshit that Carlo dreamed up. No disrespect to the dead, I just thought he authored two of the worst mob books ever.
