Keep trying if u r insistent, but I've had the book 4 many yrs & only read it a couple times...it's a montage of wiseguy wisecracks,certain sayings they have,the way most dress,what they prefer 2 eat,how 2 pronounce the certaintys(cappicola,,is gabagool)..carry ur money in a roll,not a wallet..ala donnie brasco,,,dumb shit u probably already know. Not worth it,imo.
