Insufficient description

They didn't mention the underlining of many parts of the pages. Pictures were also torn out (not disclosed). I would not have bought the book if I knew this beforehand.

Could have been written better.

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2017

The book did not delve too much into Vito's life and did not provide much fresh material other than his early childhood in Italy. Obviously it is not an authorized biography. Some parts actually do not focus on Genovese himself. Could have been written better.
