À propos de cet audio
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Anthony M. DeStefano takes you inside John Gotti's inner circle to reveal the dark hearts and violent deeds of the most remorseless and cold-blooded characters in organized crime. Men so vicious even the other mafia families were terrified of them. Meet Gotti's Boys....
- Charles Carneglia: the ruthless junkyard dog who allegedly disposed of bodies for the mob - by dissolving them in acid then displaying their jewels.
- Gene Gotti: the younger Gotti brother who ran a multimillion-dollar drug smuggling ring - enraging his bosses in the Gambino family.
- Angelo "Quack-Quack" Ruggiero: the loose-lipped contract killer who was wire-tapped by the FBI - and dared to insult Gotti behind his back.
- Tony "Roach" Rampino: the hardcore stoner who looked like a cockroach - and used his gangly arms and horror-mask face to frighten his enemies.
- "Sammy the Bull" Gravano: the Gambino underboss who helped John Gotti execute Gambino mob boss Paul Castellano - then sang like a canary to take Gotti down.
Contains mature themes.

Very Matter-Of-Fact. Great Narration
Anthony DeStefano presents a straightforward relation of the rise & fall of the Gambino Family Crime Boss John Gotti. The book is absolutely loaded with encyclopedic circumstances and detail.
Less fortunately, DeStefano's "insider" status should give him some perspective to feed offered insights, but he sticks to a "just the facts" approach. I found the book edifying but disappointing.
Solidly on the "plus" side of the ledger: Reader Johnny Heller is a true professional. Yes, his diction, tone, and voice-acting are characteristically impeccable.. but his natural timbre and cadence seem tailor-made for reading documentary-styled mob narratives like this one. Mr. Heller sounds like Joe Pesci in any number of Scorsese flicks. I very much enjoyed this Tantor Audio production.
'Gotti's Boys' is a little bit dry overall - it's frankly pretty average - but the quality presentation raises my score to 7.5 stars out of 10. If given the option of a text version of the book or this recorded iteration, choose this one. If you can get it as a 'Plus' selection - as I did - take advantage (it was a great way to spend a couple of quiet afternoons). Even should they ask for a Credit, it would be a good investment - provided you're okay with an information-packed but uneventful exposé.
