I should just plead the 5th here, but I guess I'll incriminate myself with this quick review. (I may need a god lawyer. Is Lyn out there?)

So, this is one of several books I bought strictly for coffee table humor during some of our get-togethers. They really are just for that purpose, so I base my ratings on the reaction value of each. This one doesn't get the big yucks as some of the others but it still get's a laugh, so I give it an average 3.

Both useful and funny. Two in one! Three stars only because it's too thin...

I'm not entirely sure why I epxected anything else, because yes, it really does teach you how to get started with organized crime. Or at least it gives an overview. Having just over 50 pages and a ridiculously large font size, it's more of a pamphlet giving you a rough summary of your future "career paths".

The descriptions themselves are surprisingly accurate, although very high-level (luckily?). Don't expect any detailed insider advice. Seems more like someones art project than an ex-mafioso sharing his secrets. Although I'd love to know who the author is and what the context behind this book is.

It was a fun & mildly absurd read. 3/5

Cuanto vi la portada por primera vez me mató de risa, pero no es un libro de comedia, esto es una guía para cometer crímenes, y esa no es la razón de estas 2 estrellas, que sea un libro sobre cuestiones ilegales no lo hace un mal libro per se, pero los pasos descritos son bastante obvios y sin gracia.

Puede ser que tenga uno que otro dato interesante, pero en general, me pareció un mal libro.
