Post 8

I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind on these, considering this is Post 8. I mean I'm only like 2 or 3 weeks late, but still, my time management is awful. For this week's post, I'm going to talk about my new book, Donnie Brasco by Richard Woodley. Anyway, I'm going to do a short description of the plot first.


 Basically, Joe Pistone, an FBI agent, is given the task of infiltrating the Mafia, who are very powerful in the 70's, when this story takes place. He takes the name Donnie Brasco as a cover. He thinks that he'll stay a little while, get some basic info, and leave. But instead the operation turns into a huge 6-year quest to take the Mafia down from the inside out. It sounds awesome.


 Because Donnie Brasco is a mob book, the settings are mainly in places where Mafia operations, such as racketeering and extortion are going. Throughout the book Joe Pistone, an undercover FBI agent who infiltrates the Mafia, travels on Mafia business around the country. Most of the story takes place in New York, the "headquarters" of the Mafia, but chapters also take place in Milwaukee, Miami, San Diego, and Las Angeles.


 That's all for now. If you have any feedback please leave a comment and I'll try to incorporate it into the next post. Thanks for reading!
