This isn't a great read, but it's worth your while 'cause the facts are there and the insights on Provenzano's way of life while being hidden for the largest part of his life are quite astonishing.

The first chapters are a complete mess though; I'm not sure what happened there, but blurting out names, dates and "describing" (major) events in one sentence doesn't help one getting a good start reading this book. As if the writer choose to cut all the background-stories to a telegram message. It's awful.

But forget the beginning of the book and don't give up yet. It gets better after that, with a lot of accurate details on Provenzano's hiding spots, the remarkable ways of communicating with his men, and his private life "with" his family.

Interesting read albeit on a subject that I don't know much about. It was intriguing to get past the mob image of shoot shoot bang and more into the money aspect of it. I did like the author's style and will probably read her book about women and the mafia

It was a good book that was an informative & interesting read. Needed a little something more to warrant a 5

[Lewis Dangerfield · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really interesting book following the Boss of Bosess and the challenge of catching him.

Fascinating to hear how he saved and led an organisation whilst in hiding

Watch Sopranos instead. That is all.
