Summary: Donnie Brasco- or My Mafia Life in the Bush of Ghosts
Comment: Donnie Brasco is a fine book because Joe Pistone conveys what it's like to be the pioneer of something extremely dangerous and unknown in isolation. What is amazing is comparing the modern day FBI survellence techniques, with their tremendous technical and personnel support, and the stripped down solo flight of Joe Pistone. It would be like being an astronaut on the moon during the 1960's with a lunar module that was powered with a computer like your PC and the Space shuttle today. The book is accurate about how Joe Pistone never lost his personality and character even though he had to act like a mobster. In truth, Joe Pistone loved his family and was especially kind to endangered teenagers.

Summary: An amazing man with an amazing family
Comment: Joe Pistone was the first FBI Agent to ever infiltrate the Mafia. Reading this book can put the fear of god in you knowing how much he scarified. The reward he claims for all of his efforts can not be assessed at any street value. Likewise, the amount of time lost away from his family can never be assessed. As a childhood friend of his daughters, I can remember the grueling process of reacquainting himself back within his family. However, his book covers the life within the FBI before he and his family went into the witness relocation program and just touches upon the family issues of just not being there. The arduous and suspenseful stories he recounts of "getting in" with the bad guys proved that I could not put this book down.
