Summary: great book
Review: To whom it may concern: I found this book very informative. If you want to learn about the history and the kind of life styles that were lived during the true mafia era, this is it. You will learn all about the Kennedy's and other very interesting items in history that everyone has been wondering about. You will want to read all that there is about the mafia after reading this book!

Summary: History of the Mob
Review: While this book provides a good history of the New York mafiosi in the 20th century, it lacks any real substance. The book seemed to be a brief overview of events in the life of Bill, but it covered no detail. The killer of JFK is revealed on the course of this book, but no corroborative facts were given, therefore leading me to discard the information as rumor. For the first time reader of Mafia history, this book serves as a good starter. It provides a the beginnings of a foundation for further reading, and more detailed studies. Happy reading. :)

Summary: Get ready for this!
Review: Who killed JFK? The CIA? FBI? Secret Service? Cubans? The Mafia? Bill Bonanno details the answer to that question and much more in the book Bound By Honor. Bonanno's accounts of what goes on t in the mafia are a first hand look into a world that has been kept secret for a very long time. Bonanno is able to give the reader a true taste of life in the Underworld, but it lacks any real substance. Bonanno has an insight into this life style and ruler of a powerful crime family, but he only touches the surface. Bonanno was very distance in his approached to relating the facts. I was surprised at several of the stories Bonanno relates in this book, however I was left a little unsure of the message. While Bonanno may want the reader to think that he has blown the lid off of the mafia, the reader will find that some of the "facts" cannot be corroborated. An interesting read for almost any taste, and you should be able to walk away with the feeling that your money was well spent. I believe that if the author spent more time detailing some of the facts, the book would have been a true bestseller.

Summary: You Want the Truth...?
Review: You can't handle the truth!!... Some people may be skeptical upon listening to Mr Bonanno's accounts of his life which include close interaction with individuals who may or may have not changed American history. I am not among you. I mean the guy was there! He lived it! What more could you want??!! I thought this was an incredible look into the world of Cosa Nostra. The author does a fantastic job in putting you right in the middle of the drama, action and suspense. The way he demonstrates time and again the differences between the "old school" and the "new breed" of mafioso is truly enlightening. An abosolute must listen for any Mafia buff.
