A definitive guide on how to be a 21st-century made man. With easy to read, step by step instructions, it reveals a unique way of living and a unique way of dying - usually involving an icepick and duct tape. Chapters include: the mobster's code of conduct, five ways to pass time in jail and minestrone for the Mob soul.
After reading the reviews, one can tell who the reviewers are. The females are totally negative about this book and the males look at this from just being funny. Being Scilian I find this book humorous and not at all racist. If you can't laugh at yourself or understand it, well I guess you haven't lived it. No, "Eyetalians" are usually not assoicated with the family , but the small island off the boot is where it started. Give me a break, look at the book for what it is. How gouche for anyone to grade this book as if it were Roger Ebert reviewing a movie for it's exact content, performance, and accuracy. Lighten up "Eyetalians!"

FUNNY STUFF!!! I disagree with those who don't see the humor in this book. As someone who has seen "The Godfather" -- parts 1, 2 and in a moment of weakness 3 -- over 100 times and actually wore out a DVD of "Casino," I LOVED this book. Jon Macks taps into all of the funny nuances of Mob-dom and made me laugh again and again. This book is SO ON TARGET! Buy it for yourself or someone you'd love to whack. It's a bada bing bada bang!

Maybe it's because I can quote "The Godfather" verbatim. Maybe it's because "Goodfellas" will never fall from my Top 10 list. Maybe it's that my world stops every Sunday for "The Sopranos." Or maybe it's just that this book is HILARIOUS. Jon Macks may be living the life of a writer, but he's clearly been watching those living The Bada Bing Life for a long time, and he gets to every possible amusement. Really funny.
Madonna Mia this is good stuff!

Fuhgheddaboutit is THE book for MobStar fans. I call myself a MobStar. What is it you may ask? Well, it's an actor who excels in Mafia roles. I'm an actor who has been trying to get on The Sopranos since it came on TV. I'm told I'm a DEAD RINGER. This book is great for Soprano fans and fans of those MobStars on the show shouldn't despute that this book is right on target. Learn to talk the talk and walk the walk or you ain't a true MobStar.
