    Baddest man to ever wear a pinky ring?

    Really enjoying Pollack's book. Savoring it. Don't want to blow thru it and have to wait too long for Vol. 2.

    I’ve just received Adam’s book as a birthday present from my daughter.
    I’m just about to settle down and consume it!

    Worth buying Mac?

    I’m in need of a good read. I read Jacks autobiography a long time ago. I borrowed it on a whim from the library (while doing work experience as a librarian assistant) as a pimply teen and loved it. Read it in a matter of days.

    His story is a fascinating one a true American rags to riches tale.

    Even in his 70s he presented as a imposing figure, i doubt many refused to pay their bill at his restaurant back in the day.

    Just think how good a fighter he could have become if he was not a smoker..........................:rolleyes:
