Frank Dimatteo who grew up in and around the Italian family of mobsters gives us a look into the way it was. At least from his point of view, we all have different views of how we see things. Here in this book, you get to see that the life that these men lived was not all as glamorous as the movies and T.V. shows made them out to be. Yes, some made money but not all a lot worked for the top men and some did not make it to the top to ever collect their share of the top dollar. Others would always be the soldiers or street players and nothing more yet with all of the people and stories here in this book you do get a good sense of what life was like growing up in the mob and really where your family name is, is where you are in the peeking order and whether more people will be wanting to take your place. The stories are interesting and though I had heard some of them before they are told from a different point of few. I like reading these books and this is one of the better ones and very much worth the read.
