However, I noticed that the chapter before part two plays through two times (within that same chapter block). The narration kept me engaged and was consistent from start to finish. Either way, it was informative and well-delivered.
As ridiculous as this may sound, I think I was secretly wishing the book to be more of a replica of the movie, rather than a book about the real people and actual events that inspired it. This is, most likely, why I found myself consfused in parts of the book. Had I given myself a longer break in between watching the movie and listening to the book, I may have enjoyed the book more because the names and events from the movie were still too fresh in my mind. However, the author does make references and connections to the movie throughout, so this helped clear up some of my confusion.
Being that the only prior knowledge I had when starting this audiobook was the movie, I found myself a little lost in places, due to the many people surrounding the real-life events. I love the movie, so I figured I couldn't go wrong in reading up on those who inspired it.
Griffin, narrated by Clay Lomakayu caught my attention one morning after having watched the movie Casino the night before. The Rise and Fall of a Casino Mobster: The Tony Spilotro Story Through a Hitman's Eyes by Frank Cullotta and Dennis N. **This review is for the audiobook on Audible.**
