Gangster Nation

I got to meet this author for the second time in September, and his brother had a book to promote too. Very funny to watch them together and I of course had to buy both of their books.
This one is second in a series and one of my most anticipated books to read in 2024 is the conclusion.

✅ Jewish author
✅ snarky humor
✅ dark humor
✅ rooting for the bad guy

I finished Gangster Nation last weekend. What a fun continuation of the series! I never would have guessed I would like a gangster book; I only bought the first in the series because my friend asked me to go see the author with her. Now I‘m anxiously waiting for the time to read the final installment!
Read if you like gangster stories, Jewish mc, anti-hero, snarky, dark humor, series, thrillers

I'm completely hooked on the darkly comic, excellent murderer Sal Cupertine. Or maybe I prefer David Cohen? Either way, I'll read this smoothly written, fast-paced gangster series (I hope?) forever. The writing is perfect, and I loved the addition of the Native Mob as well as 9/11 and its affect on mafia business. Warning: Ends on a cliffhanger. Book 3, please, asap? (I'll read The Low Desert to keep me going until then.)

RamsFan1963 The Low Desert is really good. You get a background story on what really happened to Sal Cupertine's dad. I read The Low Desert before Gangsterland & Gangster Nation. 3y

Brooke_H @RamsFan1963 ohhhh, interesting! 3y

28/150. I'm not a gangster groupie. I never watched the Sopranos, and I don't quote The Godfather or Good Fellows. That said, I really enjoyed this book, along with Goldberg's previous novel Gangsterland. His characters feel so real, you can identify with them even if you've never been in the mob or a criminal. I need to read the next book in the trilogy, this one ended at a terrible cliffhanger. 5 ⭐
