Summary
Frank DiMatteo was born into a family of mob hit men. His father and godfather were shooters and bodyguards for infamous Mafia legends, the Gallo brothers. His uncle was a capo in the Genovese crime family and bodyguard to Frank Costello. Needless to say, DiMatteo saw and heard things that a boy shouldn't see or hear.
He knew everybody in the neighborhood. And they knew him...and his family. And does he have some wild stories to tell....
From the old-school Mafia dons and infamous "five families" who called all the shots to the new-breed "independents" of the ballsy Gallo gang who didn't answer to nobody, DiMatteo pulls no punches in describing what it's really like growing up in the mob. Getting his cheeks pinched by Crazy Joe Gallo until tears came down his face. Dropping out of school and hanging gangster-style with the boys on President Street. Watching the Gallos wage an all-out war against wise guys with more power, more money, more guns. And finally revealing the shocking deathbed confessions that will blow the lid off the sordid deeds, stunning betrayals, and all-too-secret history of the American Mafia.

Could be better
It was an ok book, however I expected it to be more interesting. A lot of names and nicknames being mentioned and at some point you can't follow it. When stories were told the book was brilliant but when the background story of each person was told it was really boring and confusing

True to the story
I could listen to stories about these gentlemen all day. What a fantastic, exiting and sometimes very sad time they had. I wish all that are still living health and happiness
