Black Mass: Whitey Bulger, the FBI, and a Devil's Deal Audiobook

" I liked that it was very informative, it was something different because it was dealing with the Irish mob. For not being able to finish the full story because as of then he was not caught, I thought it was very good! "

" This was interesting, but the narrative was awful. The reporter thinks he's writing some kind of crime noir I think. It's full of hackneyed cliches. The chronology and details are good however. Quite an unbelieveable real-life story. "

" The book that started my interest in organized crime. Brilliantly written and researched. "

" The quintessential mafia tale. If you like "The Departed," you'll love this book. "

" awful. just a former newspaper reporter bragging his brains out in a book. "

" Fantastic. These two are outstanding journalists that capture the events and time frame exceptionally well. Cannot wait to read their new book about James "Whitey" Bulger. "

" this was pretty well done for a sprawling book about the Boston mob. it's hard to read at times b/c of all the different characters they have to introduce so at points it can get confusing. "

" Great perspective on the downfall of not monitoring snitches "

" cool book. I lived in southie for a while and it was wild reading about places I knew very well. Boston has changed quite a bit since this was written, but it still provides a colorful history of some of the lesser known neighborhoods of the city. "

" Having watched the Boston news as all this was going down, I found the book facinating. There are parralls to the Penn State scandal in that loyalty and family clouded judgement. I was amazed at all the people involved in this. It makes you wonder if you can trust anyone. "

" God love journalism. "

" This definately falls under the "you can't make this stuff up" category. This story of Whitey Bulger and the FBI as told by two Golbe reporters is gripping and very disturbing. The final chapters are actually being written in a courtroom now. I would rate it higher, but damn it's depressing. "

" Living in New England, I remember when this story broke. I was still in school at the time, and didn't pay much attention to the details. This book brought it all back. I kept forgetting I was reading a true story, not a fantastic crime novel! "

" Great book. The actual first-hand account from the journalists that broke the story on Whitey Bulger. Great addition to The Brothers Bulger. "

" Great book with TONS of tidbits about the FBI and Whitey Bulger. Easy read despite the amount of information contained within the book. "

" Interesting read since it is a true story that takes place locally. "

" There are many books out there covering the corrupt alliance between the Irish Mob and the Boston FBI. However, this one is probably the best researched and the most accurate. "

" I enjoyed this book and could not put it down. It is shocking to see how much power Whitey Bulger had in this area "

" If you live in the North End... a must read! "

" Boston girl love everything about whitey "

" Interesting, but I couldn't keep all the people straight, even with the Cast of Characters provided at the start of the book. Also, this was published over 10 years ago, so a few more developments in this case have occurred in the meantime. "

" Absorbing and fast paced. "

" Really proud to have worked on this book. "

" This was recommended by a friend... "

" I wish "The Departed" was more like this. "

" Compelling story, but not particularly well written "

" Meh+, interesting story, sort of slow at times. "

" This is being made into a movie. I tried to convert it to a Screenplay in 2003. "
