5.0 out of 5 stars A *MUST HAVE* for mob watchers!, February 8, 2001
This review is from: Mob Stories (Paperback)
Allan May has a "gift" for bringing mafia tales to life. I've enjoyed many of his essays and have found him to be consistantly accurate and somehow able to tell even old stories in such a way that *something* new is learned. Without fail, May successfully brings all the characters to life - making it easy to understand motives and allegences, red-hot anger and humor, and even make these gangsters seem normal.

If you're new to mob stories or a veteran - get this book.

This review is from: Mob Stories (Paperback)
There is writing, there is typewriting and then there is this pile of words. Save your cash and buy something else.

1.0 out of 5 stars Obscure Mob Stories, December 29, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Mob Stories (Paperback)
May has compiled,not written, about a collection of the most obscure mobsters in the pantheon of mobdom.The writing is derivative, and mostly amateurish.The book is a waste of money and time.
