5.0 out of 5 stars "Bad" Books = Good Reading, August 17, 2005

This review is from: Bad Luck (Hardcover)

Bruno's books about wildcard fibbies, Gibbons and Tozzi, versus the mob go down smooth like a cold one on a hot afternoon in da Bronx! These are all one sitting reads, 'cause you can't put them down after the opening explosions.

Bruno's use of realistic lingo and action combine to create a movie in the mind. He must be a made man, cause he sure has the scat down. And, between Gibbons' perpetual grouchiness and Tozzi's hotdogging, the feds never looked so good.

It's hard to single out a favorite. Bruno runs the series like a steady play. Continuous characters allow you to get to know both the good guys and the bad guys well. The real hero in the series, though, has gotta be Bruno himself, who keeps them all believable and real.
