I have finished the Al D'Arco book and enjoyed it, and yes, as PMAC has said, there are things in there we've already seen, but overall it's a good book and I would recommend it to others. As for the Vinny Gorgeous book, that too was a good book up to a point. I felt that there was more to the Basciano story than was told. I hope someone else will write another book on "Gorgeous" why not- look at all the Gotti books. Lastly I am now about 30% into the FBI/Scarpa book and so far it seems as though the author is hell bent on pointing out fuck ups by the FBI.
