I bought it for cheap on Amazon and skimmed through it. It has some good parts but the overly-philosophical writing style is somewhat off-putting.

Then, as said above, the inaccuracies. After he says the Luccheses were the biggest and most powerful early on in the book, he later claims the Bonannos climbed to the top spot during the post-Gotti era. Neither is true. We also get the nonsense about Gotti "bringing down" the mob and the Colombians/Blacks/Russians taking over the LCN's business. He claims the no-drug rule was passed by Carlo Gambino. He says "Jerry Lang" was a member of the Genovese family and that Crazy Joe Gallo started his war against Profaci in the 1970's. Oops.
