About this listen

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)

Not bad.

Redemption is always a great way to end a story, and I am genuinely happy for what people do to overcome their shortcomings.

However, it sounded like he often justified evading the law by attributing it to God. It seemed like a flagrant attempt to disregard self-accountability for all the bad things he did.

I wasn’t quite fond of how every part started with him introducing himself again. 🤷🏻‍♀️

More of a story than audible book reading but good

Vince tells crazy stories of his crazy years associating with the mob and definitely keeps the audience's attention. He is not reading by any stretch just telling stories from him point of view but I loved it.

Small thing but worth mentioning...the music in between I felt did not match the tone of the story think they could have made a better selection.

Overall I enjoyed it and it's an awesome success story of man on a dangerous path who turned it around.

WTF?

I liked this. Not sure why exactly. Maybe his honesty. Maybe his familiar story. Maybe his NY accent. But you will be drawn into his life with no holds barred. His language is strong. But that's how we spoke then in NY. NOT at home of course. You will enjoy listening to this.

Excellent

I really enjoyed this. It's a personal story not a crime novel. It would be great to sit with this guy and follow up with questions about this or that. Salute.
