About this listen

Picture Don Corleone in Mario Puzo’s The Godfather. Throw in the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre and the murders of John F. Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald, Marilyn Monroe, Bugsy Siegel, Sam Giancana, Lucky Luciano, Tony the Ant Spilotro, Johnny Roselli, and Jimmy Hoffa. Toss in Hollywood scandal and the mobbed-up career of Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack. Now you can begin to grasp the epic story of Tony Accardo.

Why has this story never been told?

Accardo killed everyone in his path: family, friends, cops, reporters, movie stars, and politicians. Operating from deep within the shadows, Tony influenced national policy, exploited the FBI, owned politicians, and fixed presidential elections.

Connected to every gangster from Al Capone to Lucky Luciano to John Gotti, Tony Accardo Is Joe Batters is the must-listen that every Godfather fan is craving.

I actually quite liked this book, but there's certain things that erked me. For one, it sounded like every few seconds the Narrator was clicking a mouse to continue his reading, which once you notice it, can be really annoying. Another thing I didn't like is the accents he sometimes decides to go into, they're really crappy, thick accents that sound way too forced and unnecessary. At other points in the story, the the Author is stating facts that aren't true and have been dispelled or where the truth has now been revealed. It also sounds like the narrator tried doing this in one take, and he sounds close and far away at times. All round I just wish there'd been a better effort on both ends Besides all my complaints, there are some genuine funny parts and the story flows quite well, keeping my interest for the whole book at least. a decent read if you wish to know more about Tony Accardo.

Good, but flawed

A good book, some typical bravado and over exaggerated involvement in things, interesting that the stories have always been about Giancarna with little mention of Joe Batters, nevertheless, a good story. The biggest let down to this is the narrator and the performance has been rated according to this, the constant clicking of a mouse irritates like an itch you can’t shift, the stunted or stop/start flow to the reading impacts on the overall enjoyment of this title.

Good insight into The Outfit, 100% true, not likely

This book was definitely worth a listen, at times the quality of the recording can be irritating, the noise on the recording cutting in and out and the clicking of a mouse the narrator is using to read the script is quite audible. The story was engaging though despite technical shortcomings.

Great Story, poor audio quality
