Joe Gallo ... an artist trapped in a mobsters body ... haha ... if that makes any sense ...great entertaining read ... why someone will chose to live like this is beyond me still ... yet I understand and even relate to the duality of ones character ...we seldom are just one thing ... we are many .

Growing up in the 1940’s our newspaper covered the gangs in New York, this story takes me back when that was a young mans goal, till you grow up and know better.

This was a story I had never really heard about until now. It was a fascinating story about how a group of brothers rose to ranks in the crime families of 1960s and 70's Red Hook neighborhood. The story really draws you in.

Fast paced and well written. However the time jumps during chapters got a bit confusing at some points. Overall a good listen.
