In "Donnie Brasco," Pistone mentions that some of the Bonannos cursed out Joe for writing his book. They didn't exactly call him a snitch, but you could infer that readily. But, he couldn't have envisioned that Giuliani would use the book as the basis of the RICO prosecution in the famous "Commission" case.

The book is a great read as long as you take what he says with about a ton of salt. He provides the best extant account of the Castellemmarese War of 1930-31. But, as Lou said, it's self serving even by autobiography standards. To hear him tell it, he never even jaywalked after Prohibition was repealed--just acted as a "major public benefactor."
