I read the Philip Carlo book on Pitera. It was Ok. But after learning more about Carlo and his BS it tainted my view of that book I think and made it hard to believe anything that was written.

I thought leonetti's was one of the best I read along with the one written about the rizzuto family called business or blood, it was also very good in my opinion and worth reading. Very long but I finished it in 2 evenings.

The quiet don I never finished. So slow and boring and convoluted and focused more on material that was not of interest or about the boss himself.

DiDinato's book I read and it was Ok. I'd give it about a 6.5 out of ten. Hard to know what to believe. But it gives insight into the life of an average made guy in the 90's - 2000's. And it was not so boring or uninteresting you could not read it , like the quiet don was.


I've walked along the red canal of mars
I've known kings and king makers
Poets painters and paupers
I've danced danced on the rings of Saturn
Still your pilgrim soul is the only thing that ever mattered
