Korman , Gordon. Son of the Mob. New York : Hyperion, 2004. 268 pages. (Mystery)

Son of the Mob is about Vice Lucia, born into a mob family Although his dad is the mob boss he wants nothing to do with it. He found the only way to get away was to go to school. Collage Was the way out so he thought, soon enough someone from the mob came to pay him a little visit. So, now he has a criminal sleeping in his dorm,and the worse part is, it’s his brother. For a while, things go okay. His brother Tommy said he might even quit the business but Vince thought he was kidding . One afternoon Vince was working on a student video, but one of the main characters (Jimmy) had to lave, so Tommy butted in and took the part . Thats when Vince knew Tommy was not kidding about leaving the mob. Never in his whole life had he had one piece of evidence except his birth certificate that he was even alive. All because of the, his brother was going to quit just as he did. Twas a big deal. His brother was going to quit just as he did. So he felt good about his brother sleeping in his room. Even a convicted felon and all, but soon after things went BAD TO WORSE.


I thought the novel was a great read for all ages young to old even to read as a family it would be fun.
