Well if you like the TV show the Sopranos you will love this book. The book puts you into the show and what goes on as if you were part of it. The book is loaded with pictures of the mob charactors as if they were a real family. Allen talks with the creator David Chase bringing to you where his idea's come from. Awalk through the fourth season. You will get to view FBI reports on the family right down to what they eat. This book is a must if you are a true follower of the Sopranos.

A light-hearted and fun romp through the lives (including some childhoods) of major Sopranos characters. Wonderful pictures, too. If you enjoy the human aspect of the series, this book is for you.

What I found in this book was something certainly unexpected.

I thought it would just be a coffee-table catalogue with episode reviews and character profiles, but instead it was that and much more. The book is made to look like a surveillance survey of the Sopranos family. It's pretty fun to read what the feds 'allegedly' think about some characters or events of the show, but what disturbed me was the fiction that was written there. Some facts are mere fantasies of the author and I don't think they are authorized by David Chase or anyone else from the creative team of the show.

So, it's a four-star book, still a good one.
