You know what's a book I couldn't get into? Gangbusters by Ernest Volkman.

Underboss by Peter Maas wasn't bad but the book seemed more like a transcript of a conversation with Gravano than a book with a flowing narrative.

Whatever misgivings about Al D'Arco and the veracity of what he says, Mob Boss is a good book and gives you an idea of what it was like growing up in New York in an Italian-American family in the 1950's. He's a good storyteller.

George Anastasia books are always quick and easy to read. It's kinda disturbing how often he calls *insert mobster* handsome, though it makes a good drinking game while you read!
