review 1: Having seen the two authors of "Whitey Bulger" at this past March during the Tucson Festival of books- I knew I had to read this one ! Start to finish were the fabulous crimes, and evil deeds of James "Whitey" Bulger. He was mean, nasty, and an evil man. Very apparent from his birth until capture in 2011. His evil deeds and rotten life are pretty well chronicled here in this book. It was a bit tough at beginning to try and figure just who all these crazy, and dishonest people "Whitey" surrounded himself with for close to 80 years !. The ending is just wild to see his entire world come crashing apart ! Most certainly 5 stars out of 5 for "Whitey Bulger" by Kevin Cullen, and Shelley Murphy. Cullen and Murphy do an excellent job taking apart of James "Whitey" Bulger. A real g... moreangster story with a real ganster ending !!! Loved It !!
review 2: A fascinating page turner covering the rise and fall of Whitey Bulger. The tale is impossible to write without a detailed background of the socioeconomics, politics and race relations of South Boston during the time Whitey was in action and the book provides this information. Whiteys' activities may have ended up as strictly a story of interest for Boston and some of the northeast, but the interplay of the FBI's protection of him by some corrupt agents makes for a very intriguing read. As they say goes "you can't make this s*&t up", although parts are very hard to believe. The writers were painstaking in covering the story with journalistic integrity although parts were a bit confusing due to all of the characters involved. The book does a good job at humanizing Whitey and his colleagues and in the end exposing them for what they are, a bunch of sociopathic murderers. less
