Outstanding

This book is outstanding. It totally took control of me. I culdn't put it down for one minute from beginning to end. I can't believe the imagination of the writer. From one scene to the next I was under it's spell. The book, all in it and I became one. I read this book in 1999 and look forward to reading it again in 2002 and again in 2004.I was part of an office book club and this book was passed around many, many times....... A MUST

Highly entertaining book

This is a very interesting and entertaining book about how a poor Italian boy made his way in the world of crime and decadence. The dialogue is witty, and the charaters seem almost real. This is a book about loyalty to friends, and 'own people'. The way he conducts his business as a hit man is ingenious, hilarious and intelligent. I have read the book 8 times and I still find it highly entertaining.

OUTSTANDING

The book was captivating when I first read it back in 1986. I thought the book just made very good reading and allowed your imagination to become one with the book. The detail of each scene and act was a credit to the writer's imagination. It had great direction which took you by the hand and led you on a incredible journey. Thanks for a great book!!!
