Grab Your Edition Trinities Authored By Nick Tosches Available Through EText

"insight" bogged me down, I prefer a quicker moving story line, It is the final battle between America's last generation of Sicilian Mafiosi and the world's most ruthless Asian druglords, The prize is amillion heroin market, Caught in the middle is Johnny Di Pietro, a wiseguy who embarks on a journey that will take him from Brooklyn and Chinatown to the backrooms of Italy and the Orient and into the heart of evil.
The best crime fiction I've ever read, This isn't just hard boiled, it is brutal, real and gorgeous, It's a shame so few people seem to know this book, . . and this auther. Please understand that my twostar review is no indictment of Nick Tosches as a writer, The fact is, Trinities is very well written, It also contains really impressive research, It felt like half of the dialog was in Italian or a dialect of Chinese or anything but English, I was impressed. And I dare say I even learned some things, But darn it, I did not enjoy reading it!

The foreignlanguage dialog got old really quickly I'd sometimes sigh when I saw yet another page littered with italic text.
And the huge multipage swaths of descriptions were interesting, but just acted as barriers between me and the end of the book, I admire and respect the scholarship, but I didn't enjoy it, Nancy.Leave it to Nick Tosches to make me fall in love with a book about gangsters, And, as an extra bonus, I learned more about the great Eastern philosophies of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism that I expected, And, of course, Tosches' writing is sublime, Here's a taste:
"They walked quietly, with the light of the setting sun behind them, The lush green leaves in the boughs overhead turned dark and moved like a glimmering nighttime sea, and their rustling was like the sound of conjuringgourds, the hissing of snake vertebrae and bone dust in slow, rhythmic, ghostly invocation.
" . or how 'bout this first sentence of chapter twentytwo: "With his killing hand, Johnny raised a cup of coffee to his lips, " Nick Tosches's writing is as brilliant

as ever,
And the story he tells is yet again filled with some of the most despicable creatures I have ever read in fiction, Sometimes I felt the need to just stop reading, as if the slurs, evil, depravity and violence these characters inflicted upon the world were having it's toll in my psyche.
True, some of the institutions of organized crime appearing in this work of fiction existed and exist in real life, There is probably some truth to reality in the fictional people inhabiting this haunted novel, But I guess this is the power of fiction after all: it gets you to marvelous places and degenerate ones, I can breathe easier now,
My previous knowledge on greek and roman classics made the reading more richer, I'm starving now for reading Chinese wisdom literature, Confucius and Mencius are on my reading list, This book is absolutely one of the best mafia books I've read and I've read many, It tells of an aging, decaying organization in it's declining years, and of how their brilliant leader brings them back to glory, I love how it takes you from the streets of New York, then all across the globe as they plot to take their power back from the hands of the men who have usurped it.
Surprisingly, not many people seem to have read this book, If you liked the Godfather or Gangster by Lorenzo Carcatera, you're sure to love this book, Glorious.
