Honestly, I would probably only give this book a 2.5 star rating. As some have commented already, this book is very hard to get into. I found this book difficult to follow with all the names mentioned through the chapters. I don't have much knowledge with the history of the American Mafia, thus the reason for the read. The book is extremely compact in information in which I found myself many times wanting to put it down because of the overabunance of details. However, this book does provide an excellent overview of the American Mafia through the 60 - 70 years it covers. I especially like the chapters on Luciano, Capone, and Costello. These were the major figures in the American Mafia which I would like to look further into. Lastly, I think there are some good leadership lessons here. Capone was rash and over ambitious, thus leading to a spotlight on the mafia and his early removal after only three years. However, Capo's like Luciano and Costello who ruled more patiently and less aggressively had reigns which were longer and more successful.

Keep your eyes out for "Immortal Souls," by Molly Bryant. It is a young adult novel that will be released soon. It is filled with many humorous scenes that will have you laughing. There is plenty of action and drama from the beginning to the end. Molly does a wonderful job painting a picture with her words. You will feel a part of the acton as you are reading and won't want to put this page turner down. She will draw you in as you get to know the characters and watch their romance blossom. I truely enjoyed this unique story line and highly recommend it to anyone who likes a book that is full of twists and turns!

This is a "very good," but not "great" YA novel. I loved the first 38-and-a-half chapters, which is pretty good for a 40 chapter book from a first time author. The characters were engaging and likeable, the story was fast-paced and plausible, and the FIRST ending was very satisfying. Though I hate cliches, I have to say "I couldn't put it down." I was emotionally engaged with the characters to the point where I had to stop reading several times because I couldn't see through my tears, or because my hands were shaking, either with laughter or fury. The author has "nailed" the thoughts and feelings of typical teens as they navigate the treacherous waters between child and adult. I truly hope he continues to write, because I am certain that his next book will be even better. My only quibble is with the SECOND preachy ending. The author, a middle school teacher, apparently couldn't resist lecturing. Teens like to draw their own conclusions about the "message" of a book. Mr. Wood put words in the mouth of his protagonist that sound like the kind of moralizing I expect to hear from a high school principal. That is especially true of Chapter 40, which could be seen as a THIRD ending. That one is almost unbearable, and is inconsistent with the protagonist's nature as represented by the first 90% of the book. IMHO, this book would be far superior without the last one-and-one-half chapters. They are unnecessary, and I hope the author will consider dropping them from future editions. I gave this gook five stars on Amazon, because of the blatant "grade inflation among their reviewers. I do think Goodreads readers are a bit more discerning, so I gave it four stars here. That doesn't change the fact that I enjoyed the book, and am looking forward to more from this author. I can only hope to be half as good a writer someday. Grab this book. It's a good read, and it'll enable you to say "I was a Mike Wood fan back when he was an unknown."

What a quick and entertaining read! It's really quite the romantic story. I couldn't put it down once I got into it and I can't wait to read the next one.

Might appeal more to serious cyclists. I found he was trying too hard to be funny....there are only so many gags for 'ow,it hurts...I'm going up a hill....I'm going down a hill.....'

The one book that's influenced so much of me and guided me through everything, even my first solo winter camping experience. Minus the kool-aid and warm dogs.
