Publisher's Summary

Vince Ciacci wanted to be a "Made Guy". From the time he left the brutality of upstate New York's Coxsackie Reformatory, he worked for "Wiseguys", committing armed robberies, collecting for the Mob, and dreaming of the day that he would "get his button".

He never made it into the Mafia's inner sanctum. Why? He was too crazy and too violent. Hooked on drugs and alcohol, Vince was a loose cannon, so dangerous that his own crew considered taking him out.

This is his story, told in his own voice. It's the story of a guy who, by all rights, should be dead or in prison today. Come along for the ride in a story of true crime like you've never heard before.

"Ciacci's colorful New York accent sounds like he's straight from central casting. His delivery is casual and captivating. He presents his life as is, without apology, and often ends his stories with a self-deprecating chuckle that seems to suggest he can't believe his past himself." - Publishers Weekly (audio review)

Racist, homophobic and sexist

Interesting content but the narrative seems quite disjointed and I found it hard to follow.

There are also a lot of racial and homophobic slurs and the total downplaying of rape.

Never Heard So Many Lies!!!

Thank God this was Free!! If telling lies made you rich, this guy would be worth more than Bill Gates and Donald Trump combined. Any supposed Mob story where the author refuses to name anyone means one thing; they are Full Of It!!!
