4.0 out of 5 stars Good story about the Russian mob, January 17, 2004

This review is from: Snake Eyes:: A Donnie Brasco Novel (Paperback)

I don't come across too many books about the Russian Mafia, so of course I had to read this one. This was the first Donnie Brasco novel I've read, and I enjoyed it.In a nutshell: The Russian mob is operating an illegal casino in some backwoodsy, swampy Louisiana hick town, and Donnie goes undercover to help shut it down. Along the way he tangles with the local Italian mafia and a female FBI agent who wants to beat him to the punch. The story moves quickly with a lot of suspense, and the ending is pretty explosive.My only complaints were: 1-The book doesn't really delve into the character of the Russian mafia hit man who's after Donnie. This character seemed pretty major at the gitgo of the story, but he pretty much fades away as the story progresses, so much so that i didn't recognize his name when it popped up again near the end. The fact that Donnie thought he saw this hit man but wasn't sure is only more tantalizing. 2-It would have been nice to see the reactions of the Russian mafia goons Donnie worked for -- Mitki and Rat -- when they discovered that Donnie was actually an undercover agent, but they're offed before they can learn the news (sorry for the spoiler!)I recommend this book as a first-time read if you're new to the Donnie Brasco series

If you are a fan of Joe Pistone's writing you'll love his latest novel.Follow Donnie to New Orleans to battle the Italian and Russian mobs.His writing and story really give you a sense of the danger,excitement,and lonliness that an undercover agent experiences.Can't wait for the next adventure!
