[Julia Spero · Rating 4 out of 5]

Started out with a bang; enjoyed how the author grew up in a family that had a long involvement with the mob. I was assuming that he would become a member of the Mob. I did commend him for being his own person and venturing out on his own. It was disappointing that he became a drug dealer. At one point and time the Mob avoided drug involvement. The times have changed. However it’s a page turner and I was always “rooting” for Anthony.

I have read many books on the mafia and gangster lifestyles. This book is pure fantasy most likely by a person who fantasized about the mafia and movies about them and other gangsters. It is so bad in his "perfect" recollection of events in his life, yet they all come out of other books and movies. I would guess the author is really just a gangster wanna be and a dork. Soooo silly.

Mafia Made

Fabulous. Easy read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Cover says it is a true story, but it seems quite extrodinary.
