About this listen

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Anthony M. DeStefano takes you inside John Gotti's inner circle to reveal the dark hearts and violent deeds of the most remorseless and cold-blooded characters in organized crime. Men so vicious even the other mafia families were terrified of them. Meet Gotti's Boys....

  • Charles Carneglia: the ruthless junkyard dog who allegedly disposed of bodies for the mob - by dissolving them in acid then displaying their jewels.
  • Gene Gotti: the younger Gotti brother who ran a multimillion-dollar drug smuggling ring - enraging his bosses in the Gambino family.
  • Angelo "Quack-Quack" Ruggiero: the loose-lipped contract killer who was wire-tapped by the FBI - and dared to insult Gotti behind his back.
  • Tony "Roach" Rampino: the hardcore stoner who looked like a cockroach - and used his gangly arms and horror-mask face to frighten his enemies.
  • "Sammy the Bull" Gravano: the Gambino underboss who helped John Gotti execute Gambino mob boss Paul Castellano - then sang like a canary to take Gotti down.

Contains mature themes.

The author, at the start of the book asks do we need another book on John Gotti? This book proves we do not. He brings very little to the table, quotes from better books written on the subject and skips over many pieces of key information. The only real detail the author has is on a random fishing family who witnessed a plane crash key to the story. Other than that it’s very basic.

Nothing new here

Absolutely great listen about the teflon don and really brilliantly nurtured too. Too much for favourite parts as it was just a great mafia book.

If (like me) you've read a lot of Mafia bios before, you'll probably face the same challenge of finding a read that doesn't regurgitate the same mob folklore stories over and over.

Gottis Boys is sort of half and half....

A decent beginning (focusing on Quack Quack and his family) got my hopes up that this might be a different from the norm, but sadly this typically ended up playing out the John Gotti becomes boss story...... yet again.

If you're new to this genre, go check out 5 Families by Selwyn Raab. There's nothing in Gottis Boys really that it doesn't already cover (and a hell of a lot more for your credit! ) If you're a veteran, this is probably not going to keep you entertained long.

Good performance though, on the plus side.

Not much new.....

If you’re into the mafia this is the book for you. All the usual names in here. Sammy the bull etc. Enjoyed it.

An enthralling audiobook, finished over the course of two whilst I was at work. Fantastic insight into the Bergin crew and the roles they played in the rise and fall of John Gotti.

Nice audiobook
