Format:Paperback
From start to finish the whole book about the mafia in Las Vegas was completely facinating, and the fact that is a true story made it even more exciting. As with goodfellas, the author Pileggi made the book very easy reading, helping you to visualise every event. I'd suggest to anyone interested in organised crime or Las Vegas to read this book.
Format:Paperback
A very graphic look at how vegas was.Good story which made you want to be there,the book is better than the film,which i felt was a little to long
