Of course this doesn't make it right, but anyway I enjoyed reading the book. You know most books are going to have a little bias.


Agreed. In fact, that has to be why Gas gave Carlo the shot to write about his life story. He knew that Carlo was a family friend and would present Casso in a biased manner. The book has warts but it was a good read. Better than D'Arco's book, imo.

I wish Carlo went into more detail about how Casso was screwed by the feds after flipping. He briefly glossed over simply telling the truth about Gravano and McCane, getting in a fight in prison, and smuggling in contraband (although everyone did it), and snitching on the Colombo's murder plot against Judge Nickerson. There has to be much more to the story.

Anyone have more believable details on how and why Gas was rejected from the government witness program?
