The Button Man by Andrew Gross

"EXCELLENT book! It’s a fast read and very well written. Button Man is a book about 3 brothers who grow up in a poor part of NYC in the 1930s. Two of the bothers become productive citizens, working in the garment business. The other brother chooses a different type of lifestyle, one that runs with organized crime. Based on historical facts, the book tells the incredible story of the mafia, unionizing, intimidation, violence and corruption that plagued NYC at this time. The three brothers try to stick together as a family but the bonds of love and loyalty are strained, almost to the point of breaking. A wonderful ending and a real page turner this book is. I highly recommend it." - E. Castellano

4/4 stars.
