BOOK REVIEW: The Manic Mission: Children of the Mob, BY: C.J. Simone

 

This was a wild ride right from the beginning.  In the first pages there’s action, mystery,thrills, and suspense, and it doesn’t let up from there.  Gabe is a very complex, and talented characterwith bipolar disorder.  He’s also the sonof a mobster, and he has a noble mission. Gabe’s disorder plays a key part in his actions, and the way the rest ofthe cast interacts with him. 

The story is told from many different points of view, andthis really helped pronounce the empathy for some of the characters.  I felt like there was a lot of dialogue, but that’snot a bad thing.  In fact, all thedialogue felt passionate, and their voices were authentic in tone.  It was easy to hear the voices saying thewords written, and that of course assisted in drawing me into the story.

This was a fun first installment to what I’m assuming willbe a continuing series.  Recommended to people who enjoy mob style stories like The Sopranos .  Looking forward tothe next installment!
