Yeah, I´m sure a non mob expert like Lalli would know if the book is biased. To know if something is biased, one would need to know also the other side of the story. And where the heck in that article says the book is mostly made up?
The article and Lalli´s disappointment can be summed up here:
"What kind of a Godfather was he, anyway, if he couldn’t do this small favor?"
He seems to want to believe that Bonanno was a godfather with power in 1983.
