Great writer at times. The Massino book is a top ten true crime book of all time, Mafia or otherwise. But he really blew the book about Vinny, especially the way he misrepresented Throggs Neck. Vinny NEVER strutted Tremont the way Gotti strutted 101st. EVER.

Plus, DeStefano acted like Vinny was the only heavyweight in the neighborhood, like QD and Ernie didn't live just on the other side of the Throggs Neck Expressway, not to mention that Prisco was such a powerhouse here and in the Square. And I like Vinny. A lot. But that "Lord or the Manor" shit by DeStefano really pissed me off.
