This book was written by Lorenzo Carcaterra about his life and the life and crimes of his father, Mario Carcaterra. I thought this was a great book, especially since it cost me fifty cents at the thrift store. I googled Mario Carcaterra and learned that he was arrested for murder. I appreciated the glimpse inside the life people lived in Hell's Kitchen. I think people forget how rough it was for Italian Americans in the past. I would recommend this book to others.

Ok so i just finished this book. I am really undecided how i feel about this one . the beatings in the book are very descriptive and harsh. the amount of hatred in the book is scary . It does, however make you see your life in anther view, like maybe its not as bad as you think. i think i still need to let this one sit with me for a bit . All in all i did enjoy the read, it was one that i could not put down and has caused lack of sleep before work . i will need to read it again though .
I did enjoy the end though , it seems as though in some way your actions do have to be answered for .
