The book is very informative, but jumps around a lot. It might have been an easier read if it was broken down by the mob people, the gangs, crooks, etc. I found myself having to go back and forth to keep all the information strait.The information was detailed and interesting about the people. I did enjoy reading how the "bad guys" interacted with the "good guys" or police if you can say that's what they were. I would definitely recommend it to real true crime buff or to those who are interested in gangsters.

3.75 stars. An encyclopedia of shady characters from New York City history, as compiled and written by your Italian uncle. :) Well, that's how it read. I quite enjoyed Mr. Bruno's less-than-dispassionate recounting of the more colorful underworld figures of the 1800's and early 1900's. The author includes an extensive bibliography if you're inclined to read more about these characters, and you probably will be, because these stories are real doozies! You can't make this stuff up.This was the perfect book to read while I was watching season 3 of "Boardwalk Empire" on HBO. I knew for example that Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, and Al Capone were real, but had no idea how many other characters on the show were also drawn from real life, and I loved learning more about them.Because the book is organized like an encyclopedia, there is some repetition among the entries; however, Mr. Bruno has skillfully edited his material to keep each entry fresh and to provide new tidbits of information, so that we almost get a "Rashomon"-like view of particular events. First you see it from one character's perspective, then you get it again from another's. Nicely done.I would have liked to have had each entrant's birth year and death year listed right below their names so that I could more easily orient myself as to which time period we were in. Although this info is often given in the first few paragraphs, that is not always the case, so there were some points where I was lost for a while regarding where we were in time.I also would have liked more thorough proofreading of the book, particularly in the last 25%, where the errors seemed to markedly increase. For example, errors like "trail" for "trial" and "McCarty" vs. "McCarthy" in one entry and the names "Dropper" and "Orgen" (if I recall correctly) being transposed in another entry tends to undermine my confidence in the accuracy of the source. I hold nonfiction to a very high standard, since less-than-stellar editing/attention to detail would seem to indicate possible mistakes with the facts themselves.That said, I do believe the book is highly accurate and makes a fine reference for someone looking for an introduction to the subject; the massive bibliography is almost worth the price alone. This book clearly is a labor of love and must have taken years to compile. Well done, Mr. Bruno!

Joe Bruno probably knows as much as anyone alive about the various mobsters, killers, crooked politicians, and other assorted lowlifes who have inhabited the city of New York since the founding of this country, and he has compiled literally dozens of stories about these men (and a few women, as well) in a sometimes frustrating but mostly fascinating collection of meticulously researched anecdotes, "Mobsters, Gangs, Crooks and Other Creeps."Over the course of this book, Bruno looks at well known infamous characters like Al Capone, Meyer Lansky, Lucky Luciano, and Bugsy Siegel; infamous events in the city's history like the Draft Riots of 1863 and the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire; and a plethora of lesser known but equally fascinating lowlifes, including the various street gangs that made life miserable for city residents over the years. Bruno's research is painstakingly detailed, especially considering that some of the people and events he discusses predate the Civil War. He also has a knack for providing bizarre, memorable, and often gruesome details throughout the book, such as the bottle that Gallus Mag, an Amazonian female bouncer, kept above the bar where she worked that contained ears that she had literally bitten off of the heads of unruly customers."Gangsters" is organized into a series of short chapters, usually two to four pages in length, each devoted to a particular person, group, or incident, and arranged in alphabetical order by subject. Since Bruno is far better at telling colorful anecdotes than organizing a formal history text, this approach, even though it skips around a great deal, is actually fairly effective. In many cases, Bruno probably had little historical information available, so a short chapter provided ample space to tell the story. In addition, "Gangsters" contains lots of Bruno's typical colorful slang (such as trying to "shoot someone into Swiss cheese"), including some Damon Runyanesque dialogue attributed to various characters. This colorful language is not nearly as distracting in a short chapter that reads like Bruno telling a story than it would be in a longer, more formal text on the same subject.Still, "Gangsters" could have used a bit more extensive editing. There are a couple of factual errors (Bruno repeatedly refers to gangster "Mad Dog" Coll as Cole), but the book's most serious flaw is its repetitiveness. Obviously, the lives of many major gang figures intersected over the years, so some repetition is unavoidable in a book like this. However, on several occasions, Bruno tells the same story multiple times, to increasingly lesser effect. One such story involves a bizarre encounter in which the aforementioned Mad Dog Coll was on his way to assassinate Lucky Luciano when Luciano's own hired hit men told Coll that they had just killed Salvatore Maranzano, the man who hired Coll (allowing Coll to pocket the down payment he had collected for the Luciano hit that would never occur). Bruno tells this story in almost the exact same way three different times in the book, in chapters on Coll, Luciano, and Maranzano.Despite the repetition, there's a lot of fresh, often fascinating material in every chapter. Bruno's style may take some getting used to, but there's no question he knows his mobsters and loves sharing this information with readers. What is most striking about this book is that Bruno only scratches the surface in his discussion of organized (and often unorganized) crime in New York. To date, Bruno has written six volumes in his informal history series, and I have the feeling that he's got even more stories to tell. Joe Bruno's "Mobsters" should be an offer that those interested in true crime stories can't refuse.

This book is really a collections of short stories, about 4 or 5 pages each, on various crime fiqures in the early days in New York. Many of the names will be recognized by the reader and there are some little known facts. It is an easy read, interesting if you like short biographies of crime fiqures.
