Doesn’t disappoint

Great audiobook and a great listen, kept me engaged throughout. The story differs from the movie which made it a whole new journey of discovery.

The Real Wise Guy 'Donnie Brascoe'.

Having seen various documentaries and the movie 'Donnie Brascie', Joe Pistone seperates the facts from fiction and nullifies the romance of Cosa Nostre.
