If you are as much of a Mob buff as most of the people on this board(and I suspect you must be),definitely buy it.

Pistone's story is amazing and we get to hear about so much stuff that wasn't in the Brasco movie. If you liked the film, you will absolutely love the book.

The sections involving Tony Mirra and Frank Balistrieri alone are worth the price of the book.

To me it's kind of like the comparison between the Godfather movie and the film.Many will say that the movie didn't include enough from the novel.
