He's not good with accents and he has limits with voicing his characters. By turns a gritty mobster epic, a coming-of-age story and a cautionary tale about the price of success, at its heart this is a story of love and loss — and one that seems constructed to deliver an inevitably happy ending only to sidestep it, twice, in a manner probably only Lehane could pull off. He staggered back, his face twisted in pain as she resumed screaming. He'd even seen some of his gang members go to jail for income tax evasion and he'd seen his brother convicted, and the typical sentence was two to three years. It was Johnny Torrio's idea.

I would recommend Gangster if you enjoy Mario Puzo or other Lorenzo Carcaterra books such as Sleepers, or if you have a bit of a strange fascination with gangsters as I do: His narration is wonderful and perfectly draws you into gritty life of Angelo Vestieri.
He is very talented and switches between the voices of the characters with ease. I must say that of all the audio books I have listened to so far his narration has been the best and most complementary to the story that is being read. Did you have an emotional reaction to this book?
Did it make you laugh or cry? There is a lot going on in this book - betrayal, remorse, vengeance, redemption. At times it's brutal and gritty but also weaves in moments of dark comedy via Pudge and romance as Angelo builds relationships and has those bonds tested by the life he choses to live.

Most Helpful Most Recent. Greatest story ever told! And I still re-read it and listen to it again and again 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. From the romantic notion of the outlaw antihero to the caricature of the psychotic mob boss, they have been portrayed in many different lights; but the unifying theme is that they live by a set of rules alien to the law-abiding public, and that makes them fascinating.
We want to know what makes them tick, to understand their world and to see it in all its bloody reality.
Rise of a Gangsta Pt. 2 (The Gangsta Chronicles) (Urban Fiction)
I never set out to write about gangsters. The sequel, Black Night Falling , saw my protagonist, Charlie Yates, drawn back to Arkansas, to the town of Hot Springs — a real-life mob town in the s where illegal gambling and prostitution flourished.

The Godfather by Mario Puzo An obvious choice, perhaps, but a reflection of how seminal it is to the genre. The book set the template for all that followed - from Casino and Donnie Brasco right through to The Sopranos.
