Book Reviews of The Mad Ones: Crazy Joe Gallo and the Revolution at the Edge of the Underworld
Book Review: The Joey I knew
Summary: 2 Stars
Growing up in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn at the same time as Crazy Joey - as we then knew him, I had a passing familiarity with Joey and his 'family'. He was a cheap violent punk, always trying to impress people with his 'badness'. He was perceived as a low life wannabe, neither smart enough nor connected enough to be a real player. The author accurately relays the time lines of Joey's life and the names of the people around him at the time but he falls far short of telling us what made Joey tick, what drove him. The book is a chronology but not a biography. Even then, the chronology bounces back and forth in time with no clear pattern and without a linking of events to Joey's personality. It's a broad brush overview with no subtleties or flavor.
