Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
Tough guys, goodfellas, and made men have captivated our imaginations since The Godfather appeared on the scene in the 1970s. But the runaway hit series The Sopranos heralded a whole new approach to mobsters -- hey, they got feelings, too, you know what I'm sayin'? Now fans can get an insider's look at the world of Tony Soprano and his family with this fact-filled, handsomely illustrated book.
Denver Post
Television at its best.
Chicago Sun-Times
The best drama on television...It's why you get HBO, it's why you get cable, it's why you get a television.

    Good read

    The Sopranos is possibly the most talked about show this decade. This book, filled with facts and tons of pictures, is just as good as the show. It explains organized crime in the great state of New Jersey. I recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of the show.
