"A page-flipping tale of power, brutality and glamour (Library Journal) from the bestselling author of The Godfather. Played out in the underground worlds of high-stakes gambling, publishing, and the film industry, this epic thriller follows two brothers, Merlyn and Arite, as they delve into the dangerous underbelly of American life. From Las Vegas to New York to Hollywood, there is one thing that remains constant: organized crime and the law are simply two sides of the same coin...

Another book I read many, many years ago, and like many people I picked it up at a time of crisis in my own life. After reading this book I went so far as to contact Nicky Cruz who was starting his own ministry.As to the rating, the book isn't what might be called "great writing" but it is intense and in most places compelling. Told from a first person point of view Mr. Wilkerson relates the story and opens many of it's implications and inspirations to us. That being said, and in the spirit of full disclosure I'm a Christian. So, let me go to the other end of the spectrum. If you're "anti-Christian" you more than likely won't like this book. It's frankly Christian and views that way of life as positive and looks at some of the best parts of Christianity. It's true that many Christians have done terrible things, some they have actually claimed they did in Christ's name. If that's the part of Christianity you want to look at, while it exists that's not what this book is about.If you are honestly agnostic you might find this book interesting. I can't say for sure of course how it will hit you, but as I said, "might".If you are on the fence, take a look and consider.If you are a Christian, you may like this book. Let me suggest you look at it for what it is and not get too caught up in theological debate. Mr. Wilkerson is, I believe, a Baptist. Some will of course then disagree with theological details but that's not the point here. The story is inspirational and full of hope. I like it.*********** Update 5/20/2011 ***********It's actually difficult to track down a lot of information on David Wilkerson's denomination. He emphasized that Christians should NOT divide themselves up and split away from each other. So my statement above about his denomination may be off or outdated. He was with Assembly of God, I'm not sure who ordained him and his Texas organization was under an interdenominational group so... Wilkerson deemphasized denominations and emphasized oneness concentrating on God's holiness and love for humanity.He was killed in a traffic accident April 24, 2011, he will be missed.

After Mario Puzo wrote his internationally acclaimed The Godfather, he has often been imitated but never equaled. Puzo's classic novel, The Sicilian, stands as a cornerstone of his work--a lushly romantic, unforgettable tale of bloodshed, justice, and treachery. . . .The year is 1950. Michael Corleone is nearing the end of his exile in Sicily. The Godfather has commanded Michael to bring a young Sicilian bandit named Salvatore Giuliano back with him to America. But Giuliano is a man entwined in a bloody web of violence and vendettas. In Sicily, Giuliano is a modern day Robin Hood who has defied corruption--and defied the Cosa Nostra. Now, in the land of mist-shrouded mountains and ancient ruins, Michael Corleone's fate is entwined with the dangerous legend of Salvatore Giuliano: warrior, lover, and the ultimate Siciliano.
