Only for those with chronic insomnia
I was looking forward to reading this once I first saw it in the store. Unfortunately, the book was choked with long-winded, rambling anecdotes that had nothing to do with the main topic. After getting about halfway through it, I couldn't take anymore. I left it in the lobby of my apt. It leaves no doubt in my mind that the reviewers have a 'one hand washes the other' objective.

Breslin knows his Wise Guys
I purchased this book during the big sale in January. An interesting look at the Mafia from a man who has been able to get inside and ask questions.

Breslin is a great storyteller. This book is interesting, a very easy read, and easily consumed in a day. -
Vintage Breslin
Breslin knows how to tell a story, and is never better than recounting one about his beloved New York. This tale of mobsters and crooked cops is vintage Breslin, vintage New York. The book bogs down a little when Breslin relies on court transcripts; his writing is much better than real life.

Amazing
This is a good read for anyone that likes organized crime, Jimmy Breslin couldn't have done a better job.

A nice read
I like the intertwining of old and new. I thought Breslin did a good job of keeping it interesting.
