    Reader Makes All The Difference
    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
    The reader was really bad. Usually it's the reader that captures you and makes the book interesting and wanting more. This reader was too stunted, couldn't do voice changes, sounded totally uninterested in what she was reading. I will never purchase another book read by her.
    What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
    I really can't say what was most interesting. After listening to Part 1 I couldn't listen any more. The reader took all the pleasure out of the experience. Very sad because there are so many great readers. This is the first time I've ever made such a complaint.
    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Sally Blake?
    I think C.J.Critt, Gabra Zackman, Barbara Rosenbladt, really anyone, but Sally Blake.
    You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
    The story was one I was really looking forward to and unfortunately because the reader was so bad I couldn't find any redeeming qualities.
    Any additional comments?
    How about a re-release with a more proficient reader!
    save your money
    This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
    Boy had I only known, I guess I am spoiled by all the great books and greater narrators out there, This book is not only confusing (the first half of the book spews out hundreds of dates and a HUGE amount of people you can never remember) but the narrator is obviously READING the book to you, so the characters have no personality. My kid could have put more life in this story! I am listening since I paid for it but I can't wait for it to be over!!!
    What could Diane Fanning have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
    BURNED IT
    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Sally Blake?
    Sally get YOURSELF ANOTHER JOB!!! MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER
    What character would you cut from Mommy's Little Girl?
    WOULD BE EASIER TO TELL YOU WHO TO KEEP
    Any additional comments?
    HOPE YOUR WRITING IMPROVES
    Unlistenable
    This reader is horrendous! She is so montone that as soon as I started listening I thought I had accidentally changed a setting on the narration speed. I am very interested in hearing this book so I tried not to focus on the reader but it is impossible to not be distracted by her robotic way of reading. I wouldn't think it was possible to narrate a true story about the brutual killing of a toddler but somehow this unfeeling woman reads it with as much passion as I would read my grocery list. I can't believe someone hired her for this job!!
    AWFUL NARRATOR
    Would you try another book from Diane Fanning and/or Sally Blake?
    Diane? Sure.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Thad Roberts, a fellow in a prestigious NASA program had an idea - a romantic, albeit crazy, idea. He wanted to give his girlfriend the moon. Literally.
    Thad convinced his girlfriend and another female accomplice, both NASA interns, to break into an impregnable laboratory at NASA - past security checkpoints, an electronically locked door with cipher security codes, and camera-lined hallways - and help him steal the most precious objects in the world: the moon rocks.
    But what does one do with an item so valuable that its illegal even to own? And was Thad Roberts - undeniably gifted, picked for one of the most competitive scientific posts imaginable, a possible astronaut - really what he seemed?
    Mezrich has pored over thousands of pages of court records, FBI transcripts, and NASA documents and has interviewed most of the participants in the crime to reconstruct this Oceans Elevenstyle heist, a madcap story of genius, love, and duplicity that reads like a Hollywood thrill ride.
    Editorial Reviews:
    You know who Ben Mezrich isyou just dont know that you know it. Sex on the Moon is his fifth work of non-fiction in the past 10 years, and the story captured here is easily as memorable as the others. Previously, Mezrich has detailed the famous gang of MIT whiz kids who cheated Las Vegas out of millions of dollars, the shady securities traders who squeezed millions out of the Asian markets, the second set of MIT students to beat Vegas odds, and the version of Mark Zuckerbergs Facebook founding that ultimately won three Academy Awards for The Social Network. This time, our anti-hero is Thad Roberts, an ex-Mormon geology student with dreams of becoming an astronaut. But he cant get to the moon, so he brings the moon home with him. Literally he gets a job at NASA and spends years planning out how to steal a small collection of authentic moon rocks that are a priceless part of American history.
    Despite the end results of extensive jail time and public ignominy, for 90 percent of this story, Thad is a very sympathetic character. He no doubt owes a debt of gratitude to narrator Casey Affleck, whose gentle rasp and easy-going vibe enable listeners to get smoothly swept up in Thads ridiculous ideas. Affleck has the advantage of Mezrich's extensive research, as much of the dialogue in the book is verbatim from FBI files or court transcripts. All Affleck has to do is act the part, and he does so with utter believability. Thads quest for social acceptance and true love is delivered with such amusing tenderness that Affleck at times elevates this unconventional heist story to real poetry through the almost musical cadence in his voice work. He is a terrific complement to Ben Mezrich's writing, and one must of course speculate on whether Affleck will play Thad Roberts when this weird little true crime story is inevitably adapted for film.
    Critic Reviews:
    "Movie-worthy treatment to the guy who stole moon rocks from NASA" (The New York Daily News)

    Publisher's Summary:
    In 1973, a gunman fired five shots into Colonel Joe Alon, a kind, unassuming Israeli Air Force pilot.

    From swirling dogfights over Egypt and Hanoi to gun battles on the streets of Beirut, this action-packed history spans the globe and several fraught decades in our history.

    Publisher's Summary:
    The Calabrese family of Chicago is a close-knit, middle-class, multi-generational Italian-Irish-American clan. They operate family businesses. They work day and night striving for the American Dream. All three sons forge a bond with their controlling father, Frank Sr., and their soft-spoken favorite uncle, Nick. As a boy, the oldest son, Frank Jr., realizes that his father and uncle are also "made" members of another close-knit family: the outfit.
    In Operation Family Secrets, Frank Calabrese, Jr., tells the turbulent tale of a family dominated by a violent patriarch who breaks a long-standing unwritten outfit code and "brings the street into his home" by enlisting two of his sons into the outfit's 26th Street/Chinatown crew. Calabrese reveals for the first time the outfit's "made" ceremony and describes being put to work alongside his father and uncle in loan sharking, gambling, labor racketeering, and extortion, and plotting the slaying of a fellow gangster, while they commit the bombing murder of a trucking executive, the gangland execution of two mobsters whose burial in an Indiana cornfield was reenacted in Martin Scorsese's blockbuster film Casino, and numerous other hits.
    The Calabrese crew's colossal earnings and extreme ruthlessness made them both a dreaded criminal gang and the object of an intense FBI inquiry. Eventually Frank Jr., his father, and Uncle Nick are convicted on racketeering violations, and "Junior" and "Senior" are sent to the same federal penitentiary in Michigan. Upon arrival, Frank Jr. makes a life-changing decision: to go straight rather than agree to his father's plans to resume crew activities after serving his sentence. But he needs to keep his father behind bars in order to regain control of his life and save his family. Frank Jr. makes a secret deal with prosecutors, and for six months - unmonitored and unprotected - he wears a wire as his father recounts decades of hideous crimes.
    Critic Reviews:
    "An undeniably engaging tale, capturing the nitty-gritty of daily life in the 'crews' of the Outfit. A useful and readable addition to Mob Lit." (
    Kirkus)
    Members Reviews:
    Riveting Listen!
    What did you love best about Operation Family Secrets?
    I love the fact that Frank Jr. opens his heart and mind in this book. I was able to equate his thought processes to those I see with people who are "chronically abused". He shows his humanity most when he repeatedly holds out the hope that the man he loves as father will change his ways. Even when I was saying to myself "No way in hell is he going to change." after the fourth time Frank Jr. expressed the hope that ...maybe this time... It just doesn't happen when an abuser does not equate themselves with being abusive. Frank Sr. abused in every facet of his life and the lives of his family members.
    What did you like best about this story?

    Publisher's Summary:
    A raw, gritty memoirpart true-life cop thriller, part unputdownable history of a storied time and placethat will grip you by the throat until the explosive end.
    In 1988, Alphabet City burned with heroin, radicalism, and antipolice sentiment. Working as a plainclothes narcotics cop in the most high-voltage neighborhood in Manhattan, Detective Sergeant Mike Codella earned the nickname Rambo from the local dealers, as well as a $50,000 bounty on his head. The son of a cop who grew up in a mob neighborhood in Brooklyn, Codella understood the unwritten laws of the shadowy businesses that ruled the streets. He knew that the further east you got from the relative safety of Fifth Avenue, Washington Square Park, and NYU, the deeper you entered the sea of human misery, greed, addiction, violence, and all the things that come with an illegal retail drug trade run wild. With his partner, Gio, Codella made it his personal mission to put away Davey Blue Eyesa stone-cold murderer and the head of Alphabet Citys heroin supply chain. Despite the hell they enduredall the beatings and gunshots, the footchases, and close callsCodella and Gio always saw Alphabet City the same way: worth saving.
    Alphaville, Codellas riveting, no-holds-barred memoir, resurrects the vicious streets that Davey Blue Eyes owned and tells the story of how Codella bagged the so-called Forty Thieves that surrounded Davey, slowly working his way to the head of the snake one scale at a time. With the blistering narrative spirit of The French Connection, the insights of a seasoned insider, and a relentless voice that reads like the citys own, Alphaville is at once the story of a dedicated New York cop and of New York City itself.

    I really enjoyed this book. I love NYC based stories and this one really portrayed the reality of the 80's in the LES. Great narration as well.
    New York City the way it was.
    If you grow up in NYC in the 80's this book is for you. Having been friends with people in the lower letters - theses two cops were well known back in the day, what ever side you were on. Excellent story.
    Non-stop Action
    Love this book from start to finish. The author delivered a brilliant story and the storyteller was perfect.
    best book for the old Lower
    love everything about it. its worth reading.
    enjoyed and might read again... you should too
    Typical arrogant idiot cop BS....
    [{ "answer" : "He spends the first chunk of the book bragging about crimes he committed and idolizing mob guys then the next part of the book showing no sympathy to the drug addicts and low level drug workers he, for the most part, illegally arrests.

    Publisher's Summary:
    In this disquieting cyber thriller, Joseph Menn takes readers into the murky hacker underground, traveling the globe from San Francisco to Costa Rica and London to Russia. His guides are California surfer and computer whiz Barrett Lyon and a fearless British high-tech agent. Through these heroes, Menn shows the evolution of cyber-crime from small-time thieving to sophisticated, organized gangs, who began by attacking corporate websites but increasingly steal financial data from consumers and defense secrets from governments. Using unprecedented access to Mob businesses and Russian officials, the book reveals how top criminals earned protection from the Russian government.
    Fatal System Error penetrates both the Russian cyber-mob and La Cosa Nostra as the two fight over the Internet's massive spoils. The cloak-and-dagger adventure shows why cyber-crime is much worse than you thought and why the Internet might not survive.

    A Great Book
    If you think the Internet is secure in any way, shape or form you should probably read this book (non-fiction). This is not about the old school hacking talents of Cap'n Crunch (John Draper), Phiber Optik (Mark Abene), or Condor (Kevin Mitnick) but a syndicated group of virus writers who have gone professional. It is a world wide epidemic of extortion and identity theft, primarily based in Russia and neighboring city states. The US Government has ranked it the largest and most important criminal activity surpassing the drug trade. A few folks have been put in prison but most remain at large and active.
    It starts with the history of DDOS extortion attacks (distributed denial-of-service) against gambling and fortune 500 companies i.e. pay us x dollars or we will bring down your website at a critical time - right before the super bowl, a new product launch etc., and migrates to massive online identity and credit card theft. The FTC estimates that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year.
    The links between organized crime and governments, specifically the FSB (the successor of the KGB) and their protection of the hacker networks is outlined in detail.
    True Electronic Crime
    Audible has a number of excellent books reporting on international criminal activity - drugs, clothing knock-offs, illegal immigation. This book just happens to deal with true crime and the global cyber cartels. This book will appeal to law enforcement personnel, persons interested in criminal justice, and just about anyone who has a concern about cyber crime. It is a well written, informative, and (dare I say) entertaining approach to the problem. The gravity and pervasiveness of the problem will disturb anyone who has not been following such developments. People seeking detailed analysis might be disappointed. Individuals who just want an "inside" account of how things work and what the state of the criminal art looks like will be well rewarded.

    Publisher's Summary:
    More than 150 miles away, in Melvern, Kansas, Lisa Montgomery proudly showed off "her" new baby at church and a local diner, duping many while arousing the suspicions of others. Across the nation, televisions broadcast the first Amber Alert for an unborn child...
    Here is the true story of a baby born under shocking conditions, of the lucky break that led to the alleged killer, of a tortured history of sexual abuse and "moral insanity," and the pain that lingers in two American towns that will never be the same again. With the exclusive cooperation of key witnesses and participants, investigative journalist and acclaimed author M. William Phelps reveals what really happened that fateful December day.
    Like Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, Murder in the Heartland takes an unflinching look at an American tragedy, exploring its terrible trajectory with courage, insight, and compassion.
    Members Reviews:
    Not a well researched book
    This book is completely one sided...giving the ex-husband of this convicted murderer a soap box to stand on. I really got the impression that the writer decided to save himself research time and just stick to the guy (ex-husband) who spilled his guts to him. I think a more investigative type approach would have been less annoying than continually hearing about Carl (the ex) and his excuses why he wasn't a dead beat dad.
    Also, the narrator was bizarre. He constantly changed into strange impersonations of how he felt the character might speak (Usally some type of twang). This was completely annoying and off putting.
    Not Capote, but...
    still an enthralling and bizarre story of a murder and the kidnapping of an unborn child. (Hum, liberals, can an "extension of the mother's body" be kidnapped? Maybe the police wasted time recovering something abortion laws hold no more possessing of rights than an appendix. ) Well, anyway, this is Phelps at his best.
    Not worth your money, don't bother.
    I think that the author let the ex-husband and the mother of the murderer have too much say in this book. Both of them are horrendous people, and it gets really old having to hear for hours and hours how great they think they are. For example; the ex-husband has his kids over one day, and the next day they find the house empty. The guy is such a creep, he couldn't even tell his kids he was leaving. Instead he just skipped out of town without even saying goodbye. Later he blames his new wife for this, saying that it was hard on her, you know, having to help out with his kids, poor guy, what is a dad to do? Why not just desert his children? Then the author allows this jerk to go on and on, about how he made mistakes, but they really aren't his fault and that he is a great dad and a wonderful, wonderful guy. This goes on for like 6 hours. Then he lets her mother (who is is a self-centered tramp) have just as much time bragging on herself. What a waste of my time and my money. Take it from me, I might not be able to get my lost time and money back, but you still have a chance. Take it!
    Repeat again and again
    I found the author had only so much information to go on, So to make a short story into a novel he repeated the same facts and insight over and over. I never finished the book, instead researched the case on line.
    this story was written before it was complete.
    Would you listen to Murder in the Heartland again? Why?
    maybe. it was a good story.

    Publisher's Summary:
    "Big Jack Falcone," as he was known inside La Cosa Nostra, learned all the inside dirt about the Gambino organized crime syndicate and its illegal activities---from extortion and loan-sharking to assault and murder. The result was a string of busts and a quarter-million-dollar contract put out on his life.
    Making Jack Falcone tells the incredible true story of Garcia's audacious attempt to become only the second agent (after "Donnie Brasco") to become a made man in the Mafia. Readers will join Garcia as he attends "Mob School," an intensive course of study designed to teach him everything he needs to know about the Mafia, its operations, and its attitudes. An unprecedented glimpse into the inner workings of the FBI, the book also pulls no punches as Garcia reveals how sometimes the agency ran smoothly and criminals were collared according to plan, while other times tempers flared over the progess of cases.
    A fascinating inside look at the struggle between law enforcement and organized crime, Making Jack Falcone sheds new light on two organizational cultures that continue to exert an unparalleled grip on the American popular imagination.

    Great Book!
    If you like the underworld and many of us do, then this book is for you. Having worked for the federal government and negotiated it's many bureaucratic levels I can side with Joaquin "Jack" Garcia,and his frustrations with the F.B.I. but thank God there are agents like him on the job. We are being attacked from so many sides in this country it is good to know we can all sleep at night knowing their work helps keep us all safe and out of harms way. This book is a must read or hear in this case. Thank you Joaquin "Jack" Garcia, Michael Levin for writing it. I loved it. Frank Slater
    Wow
    This book sounds like it could be fiction easily. Awsome story. It left me feeling a little frustrated with the politics and paper pushers at the FBI though. You have to give alot of credit to agents like Joaquin Garcia. It takes incredible talent and guts to do what he did. It would've been nice to have seen him get to finish the case and retire feeling satisfied with the results of all his hard work.
    An Exciting and Compelling Read!!!
    I am huge fan of mafia books and this one did not disappoint. The story was gripping and the narration was excellent. I highly recommend this book and rank it right up there with Havana Nocturne.
    "This guy loves to eat"
    Jack Falcone is a 450 lbs undercover FBI agent. But amazingly compitent. He spends a large part of the book exposing short comings of the FBI. He's more of a blue collar guy like most americans. But the meat of the book is inside information into the post Gotti administration, day to day info into the Gambino family. He also busts North Koreans smuggling "Super Notes" Fake U.S. Dollars printed by the North Korean government. It's a juicy book.
    Great Reading
    I love audio book where the narrator "plays" the characters. Highly recommend this book!

    Publisher's Summary:
    Law Man....
    Evans first met New York State Police Senior Investigator James Horton in 1985, when Evans fingered Michael Falco, 26, as the brains behind their theft team - yet failed to mention that he'd murdered him. Then, two local jewelry dealers were killed. In 1997, Tim Rysedorph, 39, another old friend, went missing. Was Evans responsible? Horton launched a nationwide manhunt to uncover the truth.
    End Game....
    For more than thirteen years, Evans and Horton maintained an odd relationship - part friendship, part manipulation - with Evans serving as a snitch while the tenacious investigator searched for the answers that would put him away. After Horton used Evans as a pawn to obtain a confession from a local killer, Evans led Horton in a final game of cat-and-mouse: a battle of wits that would culminate in the most shocking death of all.

    Absolutely AWFUL!
    When I pay for an audio book, I make great effort to listen to the entire thing. There have not been many books that I was unable to finish but this is one that I not only did not finish but did not get very far into before quitting.
    Where do I begin? I love true crime stories so I felt that this audiobook had great promise. Boy, was I wrong! Not only is the book poorly written but the narration was even worse. Yuck!
    Very dull...
    This is the first time I've written a review, but I feel compelled to save others from wasting precious hours...
    The story in this book might be interesting, but the writing and narration are tedious and dull. The author feels the need to give every detail of every conversation, real or imagined.
    Great Book
    Well written and entertaining. I learned many interesting things. I plan to read it again, as well as new books by this author.
