Because “Whitey Bulger – The Biggest Rat” has done so well on Amazon Kindle since its release on September 3, 2013, and also because I’ve received so many requests to make it available in paperback form, it is now a done deal. To read “Whitey Bulger – The Biggest Rat,” you no longer need a Kindle, and you no longer need to read it on your computer, or your smart phone.
You now can go back in time and read this book the old fashioned way. All you need is two good hands; one to hold the book and the other to turn the pages, and at least one good eye to do the actual reading (two good eyes would be better, but I’m not one to quibble 
.
Many of my old pals have told me they don’t like the idea of ebook readers like the Kindle. They want to hold a real book it their hands, smell the captivating aroma, and turn the pages like they did when they were school kids.
Well, their wish was my command.
Below are all the reviews of the Kindle version of “Whitey Bulger – The Biggest Rat.” As you can see, all five review listed on Amazon.com are 5-star reviews.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book – Must read, September 17, 2013
By Ron – This review is from: Whitey Bulger – The Biggest Rat (Kindle Edition)
I never knew Whitey Bulger, but I know the subject of organized crime very well. Joe Bruno has written an excellent book about him and his devious ways. I consider a must read for all.

This review is from: Whitey Bulger – The Biggest Rat (Kindle Edition)
As I have said in the past Mr. Bruno is the best writer of books concerning the Mafia that I have read and I read everything I can. This was a great read from beginning to end. It was accurate according to everything else I have read regarding the Irish Mob in Boston. Accurate as to the LCN in Boston also. Thanks again for a great book Joe and keep me posted on your next release.

This review is from: Whitey Bulger – The Biggest Rat (Kindle Edition)
I read that title and thought, “Does somebody have a little problem with Whitey Bulger?” I thought this might be a rage filled diatribe but was surprised to find it a very informative look at the famous mobster.
He is, as the name clearly states, the biggest rat. I don’t believe though that people are born rats. I think some people are just weak of character and turn rat. Bulger acted big but he was opportunistic. He’d sell out anyone to protect himself from a little trouble.
By the time I finished this book, I had a little problem with Whitey Bulger. And Joe Bruno was far too kind in his summation.

I like the way the author covered the story and simplified it by just telling it the way it was and not expanding on it with extraneous material. It was a quick read.
5.0 out of 5 stars A lesson about “The Other” Mob., October 8, 2013
By Rony Barbery (New York City)
This review is from: Whitey Bulger – The Biggest Rat (Kindle Edition)
Just finished reading this book. I found it refreshing as a departure from the great books Mr. Bruno has written about what is considered the traditional “Mafia”. As always, Joe Bruno has demonstrated that no matter how much or how carefully you read the news, you never know the whole story untill he puts it in writing. The book is full of small details that you never heard about, but are huge in painting a portrait of the real Whitey Bulger. If you don’t already have one, get on the ball and get a copy!

Product Description:
RATS ARE NOT MADE; PEOPLE ARE BORN RATS.
Mathew J. Mari – New York City Criminal Attorney for 36 years
*****
“The Biggest Rat – Whitey Bulger’s Decades of Deceit” is the story of James “Whitey” Bulger, the Boston mob boss; from his early days of crime, to his heyday running Boston’s underworld, including his escape and captureafter 16 years on the run. This book also includes Bulger’s trial, and the jury verdict which found Bulger guilty of 31 of the 32 counts in the indictment. Bulger was also found guilty of 11 of the 19 murders included in the indictment.
It’s fair to say Whitey Bulger will die in jail. Bulger’s lucky he didn’t get the electric chair; which would have been a more fitting punishment for one of the vilest individuals to ever roam the earth.
*****
On July 9, 2013, Whitey Bulger’s former protégé, Kevin Weeks, hate and contempt in his eyes, took the witness stand against his former boss. The 57-year-old Weeks and Bulger were once so tight, they spoke nearly every day for more than a decade. Bulger, 83-years-old, was facing life in prison for committing more than 19 murders.
Since Weeks served only five years in prison for aiding and abetting five of Bulger’s murders, Bulger’s lawyer, J.W. Carney, tried to portray Weeks as a con artist who knew how to manipulate the justice system.
“You won against the system,” Carney told Weeks.
“What did I win? What did I win?” Weeks said. “Five people are dead.”
Carney asked Weeks if the killings bothered him.
Weeks shot back, “We killed people that were rats. And I had THE BIGGEST RAT right next to me.”
Whitey Bulger, unlike Genovese turncoat Joe Valachi, Bonanno boss Joe Massino, and Gambino consiglieriSalvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano, willingly became an F.B.I. informant while he was still active on the streets as the Mob Boss of Boston. And Bulger remained an F.B.I. informant for more than 20 years.
Kevin Weeks was right. Whitey Bulger was THE BIGGEST RAT of them all.

HOME WRECKER IS BACK! Home Wrecker II: The Brooklyn Chronicles – A Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Struggle to Keep New-found Happiness
HOME WRECKER IS BACK!
A Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Struggle to Keep New-found Happiness
October 11th, 2013. Ladera Ranch, California: Brenda Perlin is back with Home Wrecker II: The Brooklyn Chronicles, published by Master Koda Select Publishing. This fictional Contemporary Romance is set to continue the story of Home Wrecker I: Home Wrecker Chronicles in September of 2013. The reader will experience an emotional roller-coaster ride as the writer divulges the sad and dark times of Brooklyn, all the while provoking deep thought while re-living her memories through the reading experience.
Home Wrecker: The Brooklyn Chronicles provides a look into the heart and mind of a woman who cheated on her marriage and the reasons why it happened. It is honest. It is real. It is the story of what made Brooklyn the woman she is today, the decisions made that put her on the path she walks today, and it does it with an openness and honesty not found in many such stories. The book is well written and grabbed me from the beginning and held my attention until the very end.” – Crystal Schall, The Book Rack
Home Wrecker II: The Brooklyn Chronicles puts the reader on a journey through the eyes of the main character, Brooklyn Rosen. Her story, at times, is excruciatingly honest and evokes one’s own self-reflection throughout the reading experience. However, through the devastation and tribulations, the reader will also gain an insight to the inspiring strength of the heroine as she struggles toward personal happiness.
