This book brought me into a world distant to me, however I felt like I was living a life of deciet and fraud. I found the book exciting and Concerning. I highly recommend reading this book before you take your next step forward.

This book was BORING. Lame and displayed the same old storyline. Only thing I hope for is that this guy, if he really did the items purported in the book, has served some serious jail time. And, its my understanding that he is now selling hot tubs and continues to rip people off.

this is a really good book. lauria has a great story to tell, david barry does a great job of telling it. a fascinating but chilling account about what really goes on behind closed wall street doors...

I really enjoyed this book and I thought the infamous ONE STAR REVIEWER might have been giving poor reviews to the wrong book. this is like the inside story 'behind the scenes' with a real life mobster. he shows you a whole different side to the story which makes you really think twice. i totally recomend this book. the writing is pretty good too. good work mr. lauria.

This book tackels subjects that most fear even talking about. From beginning to end I was in both shock and awe - in shock of the world the book so vividly describes, and in awe that someone had the guts to document it.

Boring and lengthy.....Born to steal is a much better read. Lauria is full of himself and lacks real credibility. I would recommend staying away from this book as it will bore you and will only help Mr Lauria steal from the public again.

The 5 star review was obviously given by the author Mr Lauria as he is trying to pump the sales of this book just like he pumped and dumped stocks. Sal Lauria is nothing short of a weasel who ratted out his childhood friends and others just so he can keep his little tooshy out of jail.

There is no reason to buy this book.......it is a horrible read and only helps out a rat.

Lauria's story is a great read. Read it twice. Love books about the mob and wall street. The title is a bit confusing.. maybe thats why no one buys the book.
