About this title: The true story of a group of four boys brought up in New York's notorious Mafia-run "Hell's Kitchen" during the 1960s.

"Wow! what a read. This has been on the TBR for quite a while and seeing it was popular on RiSi, I gave it a whirl. Difficult to put down at times, a very powerful memoir of corruption and revenge."
"This is one of my all time fav books and I have only read it once. I dont know if I will ever re-read it, its such a sad story but sooo good. Much later I found out that the book was made in to a movie with Brad Pitt blah blah....I watched it and though gosh they kept the movie kinda light on the details and the book was sooo much better and soo much darker.
It reads like a true story (atleast for me) and thats what makes it sad. LOVE IT!"
"Sleepers - definition #2 Juvenile sentenced to serve any period longer than a month in a state managed facility
This book was also a movie which I saw first and then read the book. Liked both equally as well. A story of young boys from Hell's Kitchen and the outcome of one of their pranks. The boys live in despair and only have their friendship as family to keep them entertained. Local priest Father Bobby is their rock. Based on a true story from the late 60s."
"i have to say that i like the book better than the movie, i like it even more because its a story about enduring friendship that have went through good times, bad times, extremely terrible ordeal and yet survive. and also shows that no matter how much you've changed true friendship lasts."
