About this listen

From burglary to armed robbery and murder, infamous bad guy Frank Cullotta not only did it all, in Cullotta he admits to it - and in graphic detail. This no-holds-barred biography chronicles the life of a career criminal who started out as a thug on the streets of Chicago and became a trusted lieutenant in Tony Spilotro's gang of organized lawbreakers in Las Vegas. Cullotta's was a world of high-profile heists, street muscle, and information - lots of it - about many of the FBI's most wanted. In the end, that information was his ticket out of crime, as he turned government witness and became one of a handful of mob insiders to enter the Witness Protection Program.

Overall great story but......

This is a great book for anyone interested in the outfit or organized crime in general. It gets 5 stars across the board. The one major downfall of this book and it’s a big one is the NARRATOR. The narrator is terrible. The different voices he tries to do and the different dialects are just BRUTAL. They all sound like comic book characters or imaginary creatures from another planet. His Italian accent sounds more like someone from the Deep South that has a speech impediment (I mean no disrespect to those with disabilities as I have one myself). It’s a great story and no doubt and amazing book but this narrator is utterly brutal. At multiple times I almost exchanged it due to this but the story was so entertaining. Enjoy but be forwarded

Awesome Story! could use better narration!

I love this story as Casino is one of my favorite movies. I know most of the true facts behind the story and this gives yet another in depth perspective. I would have given all five stars but the narrator is quite awful as he tries to use voices for different characters. he makes Tony Spilotro sound like a calamity cowboy or something and it's not consistent throughout his story. It kind of drove me nuts but I liked the book so I put up with it. Great read though!

Horrible Narration, Just Horrible

Who made the decision to cast a narrator with a southern accent, that can't pronounce the last names, to do the narration about a Chicago gangster? I really struggled to get thru this.

Great story, silly narrator

Would you consider the audio edition of Cullotta to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version

Any additional comments?

The narrator does a good job when speaking in his own voice, but when he tries to impersonate the various mob characters it gets pretty silly. He makes Tony "The Ant" Spilotro sound like a cartoon character. I almost stopped the program the first time I heard him do it. If the content hadn't been so good I might have returned it for a refund.

Great Story….Awfully narrator.

After listening to about four chapters I couldn’t take the narrator Michael Taylor. How can you have a narrator with a southern accent reading a book with Italian characters?!?!? His characterization of Tony Spilotro and others sounded like someone doing a bad impression of an some jive guy from the 70’s. Mixed with his inability to correctly pronounce Tony Spilotro’s last name I couldn’t finish this audio book. It’s a shame too, Frank Cullotta has a very interesting story that complicates the back story of Casino. I downloaded the the e-book, much better.

The worst voices

The narrator tries to do voices of Chicago mobsters and everyone sounds either black or like a bad Walter Brennan impersonation. A bit distracting

Narrator is horrible

This is a really good book I thought but the narrator is horrible usually stuff like that doesn't bother me but when this guy trys to do the voices of the different characters it's so distracting especially when he does Tony spilotro I guess he's trying to do Chicago but it sounds more like a Louisiana idk it just sounds like he's trying to be funny or something

Good story. Terrible mart

Stopped listening several times due to the narrator’s annoying characterization of subjects in the story. Very Louisiana rather than Chicago.
