4.0 out of 5 starsVery Good Summation of Whitey Bulger's Long Criminal Career and Trial
By Stephanie De Pue VINE VOICE on August 10, 2015
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
Where the Bodies Were Buried: Whitey Bulger and the World That Made Him, by T. J. English, the New York Times bestselling author of The Westies and Paddy Whacked . The veteran journalist/author enjoyed a front-row seat at the July 2013 trial of Whitey Bulger, Boston’s most famous native son/gangster. The writer here offers his observations on that trial, plus an intimate view of that city’s players in organized crime and law enforcement that combined to make Bolger the iconic Irish American gangster.

The mobster, brother of influential Massachusetts senator Billy Bulger, was, for decades one of the most vicious, feared men in America, although he was often romanticized as a Robin Hood-like thief and protector: many believed he was saving Southie, the Boston neighborhood of his birth, from drugs while he was actually peddling them. And while the de facto mob boss of New England, Bulger was also a Top Echelon informant for the FBI, covertly feeding local prosecutors information about rival mob figures, while using the agency to eliminate his rivals, reinforce his own power, and protect himself from prosecution, during a career in which he was eventually charged with 19 murders. After a while, he was, as well, protected by other federal figures, principally in the Department of Justice. And these supposed law enforcement figures didn’t just protect the outlaw: they gave him useful information, including where to find people he planned to murder. Then things got hot for the gangster: he was in the wind for sixteen years, before being arrested in 2011, in San Diego, southern California and returned to Boston, where he was tried under the RICO laws, convicted of racketeering and murder.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsWhitey Was Laughing and Getting Away With Murder Thanks to Law Enforcement!
By Sylviastel VINE VOICE on September 20, 2015
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
With the movie, "Black Mass," about James Whitey Bulger just released, he is still a hot controversial topic. This book describes in detail about how a gangster like Whitey Bulger came to be a legend in Boston, Massachusetts and worldwide. He became one of the most hunted men in our time while living in plain sight in Santa Monica, California with his mistress. This book chronicles Whitey's gangster world and his connections to law enforcement. Believe it or not, Whitey was an informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a brother of a beloved state politician, William Bulger. This book is my second about the Bulger brothers but more about Whitey's world. His brother took the high road of politics while Whitey sought the low dark evil road of being Irish Boston's answer to Al Capone in modern times.

The four hundred pages is quite detailed about how the Boston underworld of mobsters acted and lived according to their own set of rules. Whitey Bulger should have never been an informant or protected by law enforcement. It appears that Whitey was working both sides of the street and the law to his advantage. In the end, there were blood, bodies, and innocent men going to prison for other men's crimes. The true story is horrifying testament about how law enforcement of all failed to protect Boston and its citizens from a ruthless brutal killer and his mob.

There will be a lot more interest in Whitey's life with the movie and more books about his case. This book details the corruption, immorality, and the lack of consciousness between law enforcement and the mob world. I don't know who I was disgusted more with Whitey Bulger or the Federal Bureau of Investigation for allowing him to commit crimes and ruling the Boston streets with fear and terror.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat True Crime Story
By G.I Gurdjieff TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on September 2, 2015
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
If you were clueless as to who Whitey Bulger was when he got nabbed in So Cal after over a decade and a half on the run, this book will lay it all out for you. The author is a celebrated chronicler of the Irish Mob and did a thorough job that was fascinating but at times almost to much for me to process as I got into the story.
Author London spent the entire length of the trial covering it while also interviewing many people who were involved with it. What enfolds is a story of racketeering and murder, Whitey Bulger being portrayed as a modern day Robin Hood by the residents of his territory/neighborhood (known as Southies) who were actually the people being victimized. The story as it emerges is multifaceted as the reader comes to see Bulger as a crook, murderer, and FBI informant. This didn't exactly surprise me because the activities of the FBI haven't always been exactly legal. Still it is sort of amazing to think that all this double dealing goes on.
While this story is absorbing, appalling, and sick, there are moments of confusion as the story travels from the current (the trial) and the past. As the story develops it becomes easier to follow and keep straight. By the end of the book I had no problem understanding who Bulger was, what he did, and the reason why his capture was not only significant but enormously newsworthy.
Well written and compelling, this book is a keeper that will make you feel like you've been glued to your chair.

2.0 out of 5 starsTedious Account of Boston Mob Boss' Trial
By Lynne E. TOP 100 REVIEWER on September 6, 2015
Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
As author T.J. English observes in the Introduction, WHERE THE BODIES WERE BURIED is "an account of the trial of Whitey Bulger from a particular point of view." That point of view is, basically, outrage against the government law enforcement system that recruited a notorious Boston mob boss like Bulger as a "Top Echelon" informant, and protected him from prosecution for many years, despite his ongoing criminal activities (including murders, sex with underage girls, drug trafficking, and racketeering).

English "attended every minute and every day of the trial," and recounts the daily events in detail, in chronological order. Thus he successfully captures the tedium of every long criminal trial. The author's desire to see the full scandal of the FBI's unfortunate involvement with Bulger "laid bare" is admirable, but the scandal itself isn't all that interesting if you haven't heard of Bulger and his crimes before picking up this book.

WHERE THE BODIES ARE BURIED represents a lot of research (through interviews with witnesses, jurors, lawyers, and former federal agents), and is reasonably well-written. However, as one more reporter's eyewitness account of a famous criminal trial, it's boring. Those who are already familiar with the Boston gangster's crimes will probably find it more interesting than I did. I rate it at 2 stars ("I don't like it" on the official Amazon scale).
