Boomkat product review for:

steven machat - Gods, Gansters & Honour

We don't stock a lot of books - but this is just such an enjoyable read we thought it needed to be done. Here are the salesnotes - but seriously, get it! "As the son of the legendary showbiz lawyer Marty Machat, Steven grew up with people like Frank Sinatra, James Brown, Frankie Valli and Sam Cooke. Growing up in that environment, it wasn't surprising that he followed his father into the business and by the time he was in his late 20s, he was proud to see his name alongside his father's on the brass plaque outside their Broadway offices. But Steven discovered from a young age that the glitter and the glam too often disguise a cruel reality and that those that are seen as gods could just as easily be seen as gangsters."
