Summary: A Fun Book!
Comment: This book has the best main character -- and she's REAL! Arlyne Brickman is the classic whiny mafia whore woman -- she even has a little lapdog named Lucky. Teresa Carpenter (the author) does a wonderful, incisive job of describing her. This is a great, FUNNY book. Check it out!

Summary: Lukewarn But Reliable Incidental Mafiosa
Comment: I have read this book twice. Many pages are devoted to the aspirations and self-importance of the main character, Arlyne Weiss Brickman. Naturally, this is the case since the story is told in her words. There isn't a real gripping story here, but it's very interesting to read about her interactions with so many well-known mobsters. It's rare that a woman has any important place in the world of organized crime but her little-known exploits dovetail nicely with accounts I've read about many other mafioso. She provides an almost "behind-the-scenes" look at daily life in the underworld. I would love to get a copy of this book to shelve with my others on the topic of organized crime.

Summary: Not the type of book you'd expect
Comment: This is probably the worst mafia book I have ever read. It doesn't really go on about anything exciting expect for her aspiriations to become like Virginia Hill. It is really about her life as a call girl as being a snitch Teresa Carpenter didn't put the book together well considering Arlyne Brickman's story wasn't much.
