Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Best book I ever read
Kriegel has a great sense of New York and brings his characters to life. As you read this book, you'll feel like you've known the character your whole life.
Having met Mark Kriegel and discussing the book with him, he is an author that is down to earth and extremely modest.
Great Read. Can't wait for more from Kriegel.
Rating: - does the trade proud
Kriegel's Bless Me, Father is often lyrical and always important. Superbly written, exceptionally descriptive and perfectly plotted, there's more twists and turns than an old wooden rollercoaster. Loved it!
Rating:  - No universal connection
To me, this was a well written but small minded book, about a very limited world -- italian american, New york City, mafiosi, boxing.

Nicky Battaglia, the teenaged protagonist, is the son of a failed-boxer father and up-and-coming mob lieutenant. Frank Battaglia, the father, hides behind his youthful failure as a boxer by giving the appearance of the prototype mafia "tough guy"; ... Read More
