Summary: Funnier than Dante, and With Recipes, too.
Comment: I'm a literary snob, and when I saw this book on the bookstore counter, I cringed. Schirripa is a terrific actor on The Sopranos, but I immediately figured this was another attempt by a level B celeb to make some extra cash with garbage masquerading as a book. But I opened it and started reading in the check out line and started laughing so hard and loud other customers started rubbernecking. The kind of laughs that bring tears to your eyes and pain to your stomach. This guy is truly funny, and all of his humor is based on truth. The book is also written with tremendous warmth, and could be subtitled "Pasta Fazool for the Goomba Soul." It's actually inspiring. And--how's this for a plus--it contains some fantastic and easy recipes. I feel like I got more than my money's worth from this book--laughs, inspiration, and some great Italian meals.

Summary: This book has it all!
Comment: I started out a little skeptical, thinking this was just another product tied to the Sopranos name, hoping to snag the fans for their hard earned money. I was wrong! This book is has something for everyone; humor(yea, it's the guy kind, but I have to believe that guys are the target audience), Steve's history, life in the Italian-American neighborhood, an inside look at the Sopranos and recipes(simple, yet very good). What more could you ask for? Now I can't wait for his second book, "The Goomba's Book of Love"!

Summary: oh my gawd
Comment: I am a big Sopranos fan, but I am a little fed up withe stereotypes represented in the reviews. EVEN THE SOPRANOS has more depth when speaking about Italian culture than whoever is writing here, and I am loathe to believe they could be Italian-American.
