Literature -- 4 stars
Audiobook narration -- 5 stars
Book: The story of three young Jewish boys from the Lower East Side of New York. When their father dies, 12 year old Morris, the youngest, apprentices himself to a garment maker. Sol works to become an accountant. Harry, the apple of their mother's eye, finds himself dazzled by the glitz and glitter of the criminal world. The story covers the 1920s and 30s, a time when crime syndicates ran the city and the unions. Leave it to the Rabishevsky boys to decide enough is enough. ----- A big, warm book of family loyalty that steps to the edge of the thriller genre. Historical figures fit in comfortably with the fictional story. The pace is a little slow, but the characters are interesting and well-fleshed out.
Narration: Mr. Ballerini delivers a narration as straight forward as the book itself. Solid and easy.
