About this product

Product Information

When friendship runs deeper than blood An unforgettable true story of friendship, loyalty and revenge. They were four boys who shared everything - the laughter and bruises of an impoverished upbringing in New York's West Side. Then one of their pranks misfired - a man nearly died and they were sent away to a reformatory school. Then they suffered the worst abuse the guards could inflict on them. They were forever scarred by their experiences. Eleven years later- two of them became killers for the mob. They met the ringleader of the guards who abused them - and shot him dead in front of several witnesses. No one thought they would see the outside of a prison again - but the four friends banded together once more and in one last, audacious stand brought their own vengeance to the courtroom.

5 out of 5 stars
by onzMk0bwQWa@Del...07 Feb, 2014
A brilliant read.
The story itself has a somewhat controversial cloud hanging over it (is it really a true story?) but once you get past that and let the story tell itself, it really is a chilling account of how quickly the lives of four Hells Kitchen boys were turned around, inside out and torn apart at a juvenile detention home, after committing one stupid crime. The movie adaptation was spot on (though of course the book is always better, and in this case the book does have more that the movie missed) and in reading this all I could hear was the narration by Jason Patric, who plays the adult Lorenzo "Shakes" Carcaterra. Some scenes in this are not for the squeamish, otherwise is a very good read.
