Summary: Joey is not the most important factor
Comment: Joeys existence is not the most important or fun factor of this book. The most interesting aspect is the detailed description of normal everyday mob activities. Gambling , Loansharking , bribery. This book was a very interesting introduction into what the mafia is really like. I enjoyed every page and stopped reading the book I was reading prior because I became hooked to this one. A very good book if your interested in the complexities of playing the numbers , loan sharking or any mob activities. Worth the $$$ as much as any book.
Rating: 4
Summary: Authentic, gripping.
Comment: A solid depiction of life in the Mob, at least as it was thirty and more years ago. Not all of "Joey's" anecdotes are necessarily true, and it's hard to say how many were exagerrated or fabricated. But it definitely has an aura of authenticity. It strips away a lot of the glamor of organized crime, which is why this book disappoints some readers, but I would put it up there with Wiseguys and Born to Steal as the best books on the Mob in recent years.

Summary: Like a visit to the Dentist
Comment: This has to be one of the most boring books about the mafia in publication. Joey becomes a grind to finish after the first chapter but since I bought it I figured I might as well finish it. There was nothing in the book that held the readers attention, it was monotonous.If I borrowed money from Joey and was late I would pay him just to avoid being bored to death by our pal Joey. Joey was not a member of the mafia he was an associate. I think if I were in the mafia and a street soldier I would ask my capo to take my mafia membership card away rather than work with my pal Joey. This book was not worth the tree that was cut down to have it written. I would judge the book as a minus 10 but you dont go that far.
