 OUTSTANDING Book! November 4, 2006

If you are into true crime books this is one of the better ones to come along in awhile.
This book traces the colorful life of "Jerry Van" and his many criminal associates over the years including "Anthony "The Ant" Spilotro of "Casino" fame and another one I myself was especially interested in, "Eddie Nash" who for many years reigned as the king of Hollywood with his many clubs , drug dealings and his final downfall as the man who had four people bludgeoned to death as payback for a robbery in his home in what has become known as the "Wonderland" killings.
Would like to see more books of this caliber in the future.

This book is very unorganized and hard to follow. Events and thoughts at times do not make sense I.E chapter one page 5 "I went to live with my sister and Dennis's father gave me a job in his factory". No where is it mentioned who Dennis is and why he is mentioned, or was that his sisters name and they had different fathers? In the same sentence it goes on to say something about Oakland Community College and football with reference to the the colleege retruning to the Reformatory? What is the Reformatory and what does it have to do with football
is th
It is full of events, names and happenings that just don't "gel" together..with no explaination of why a particular person or event is/was or what the relevence is in the story..
I had to give up reading it less then half way through, do to the lack of consistant thoughts...too confusing...
