Title: Not that good at all...
Review: Just read "Godfather" or "The Last Don". Or, for facts, Sammy Gravano's memoirs. "Gangster" just doesn't cut it. Carcaterra cannot mix action and quiet mob dignity skillfully enough to warrant his book a place next to Mario Puzo's ones. It's ironic, though, that when he wrote fiction which he tried to present as a "true story" ("Sleepers"), he wrote well, but now that he wrote fiction and labelled it as such, he couldn't make it as enjoyable.
