[Matthew Reyes · Rating 3 out of 5]

This wasn't the best book I have read, I wouldn't put it in my top tens but it was okay. I think the author should just turn the swearing down and I'm talking about the first person narrator. If you are someone who likes the amount of swearing then sure go ahead. I also recommend this book to people who are into books that revolve around the FBI, spies and etc. It's interesting to see the main character use devices such as wire tapes and bugs to find evidence of top mobsters and bring them down. I would say it was a nice filler book, but I'm not really into that kind of stuff. But if you are a person who takes a liking then by all means, read this.

This should've been a great book but finishing this book was an exercise in willpower. The authors never stay on track so the story is very disjointed. I also don't think Jules was involved enough with the various OC investigations to fill a book. From what I could tell he was at FBI Headquarters while these investigations into the mafia families were underway. Also the author constantly brags. There are better books on the mafia and FBI.
