A good book, though it did start dragging about 3/4's of the way through. The descriptions of the different mob jobs that he was involved in got old after a while. Otherwise, an excellent read. Mr. Pistone had incredible courage and fortitude to stick with this assignment for so long. (

People who are interesting do not always make interesting authors -- often the intriguing story turned out to be the one he chose not to pursue beyond a paragraph. (

My first read. Read it after watching the movie 100 times. Had the characters voices in my head as I read it. Liked the movie and loved the book. Anyone can get wrapped up in their situation and anyone can feel trapped in their situation too. Great story!! (

Donnie Brasco (real name Joseph D. Pistone) was an undercover FBI agent in the Mafia from 1976 to 1981 in NYC. Reads quickly as much of the book is dialogue. 1987. (

The term ‘blew me away’ is perhaps used far too often when it comes to book reviews, but I can safely say that this is one book that left me truly astonished and open-mouthed with every page turn.

Special FBI Agent Jospeh. D Pistone spent five years working undercover as a mafia associate in the Bonnano New York crime family. A film was made in 1997 based on his life starring Johnny Depp and Al Pacino, but like most films based on books, you only get half the story on the big screen.
