Jack's story is very interesting, but the writing is terrible. I wish he had hired a ghost writer to write the book. ( )

i really liked this book. i seriously follwed gotti and am a huge mafia and gangster buff. i had heard of jack falcone and it was wonderful to be able to read the whole unsensored version of what took place. it never said this in the book but my belief would be that alot of the investigations that were stopped had to be bought off, for self preservation and personal advancement. well, obvisouly i know and i admire him for never even hinting at that. if you're interested in this sort of thing this is a must read. he did an excellent job at letting the story flow and was good at giving you a visual. my only disappointment and i'm not sure how you would add all this without it being a huge book (which would have been ok) was the lack of his projects in and for the mafia. i know he talked about them and stated he didn't kill or hurt anyone but there has to be more. but maybe not, you never know. course just for the recored i have always been a way, way bigger fan of the cia than the fbi. again that is probaboy due to my interests and the history i've studied, mostly with gangsters.
