Brutal By: Kevin Weeks
Brutal is about the big time mobster Jim "whitey" Bulger, and his days being a mobster until he had to flee the country because of the FBI. This book goes into great detail about how he ran his crew, killed people, and took care of business. Through his years Whitey extorted millions of dollars, shook down pimps and drug dealers, and had dirty cops working for him. I recommend this book to everyone. On a scale one through five, I give it a five.

Excellent post Mike! I'd like to find out more about Whitey Bulger. Have you ever seen the movie "The Departed"? It seems to be very similar to Whitey's life-
Mike,
Maybe we should use this for a group read aloud next year. What do you think about that?
This book sounds really interesting. Do you know when Whitey became a big mobster?
