Recenzii
“Breslin chronicles the cops’ sordid tales with a mixture of awe, repugnance and perfect diabolical detail. He remains a master at transforming crookery into opera.” — New York Times Book Review
“The ineffable Breslin, the mob’s Homer, may not have done much to ensure Kaplan’s longevity, but he has surely granted him immortality.” — Boston Globe
“Bad cops, good crook, great story.” — USA Today
“Breslin is a writer of the heart. It’s hard to name another author who demonstrates a better understanding of the passions of urban misrule.” — Playboy
“Completely sure of what he’s doing, the author knows how to hook a reader.” — New York Observer
“Breslin put his notes to brilliant use in a colorfully nuanced depiction of Burt Kaplan. Kaplan is The Good Rat, and while Breslin doesn’t put a gloss on his crimes, he uses him wisely and well to tell us once again about New York’s underbelly. And, in such memorable terms.” — New York Daily News
“[The Good Rat] is Jimmy Breslin at his best.” — New York Times
“A great look at the ugly and anything-but-glamorous truth of organized crime. This is Breslin at his Runyonesque best.” — Rocky Mountain News
“The Good Rat tells us about the corkscrew workings of the criminal mind where Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment left off.” — Nicholas Pileggi, New York Times bestselling author of Wiseguy
“Jimmy Breslin still hits the high notes...entertaining, insightful and 100% Grade-A Breslin.” — T.J. English, author of Paddy Whacked and The Westies
“Breslin returns to us from brain surgery intact, writing the way he writes, which is very good stuff indeed.” — Pete Dexter, National Book Award-winning author of Paris Trout and Paper Trails
“Smart and stinging—Breslin in fine form, which means a winner.” — Kirkus Reviews
“[Breslin’s] writing, like the Mafia itself, breezily transitions from humorous to horrifying.” — Publishers Weekly
