Charles Farrell isn’t looking to make friends with his book (Low)life: A Memoir of Jazz, Fight-Fixing, and The Mob. He might even make some enemies if he hasn’t already.

That’s never been a concern for the New Englander, and the result is a fascinating tale that may not be the book for the diehard boxing fan who wants the sport in the pages from start to finish, especially those who aren’t prepared to see another side of the business. But for those wanting to read about an incredible life and the stories that made up that life, stay tuned.

Where has this guy been all my life? Absolutely one of the best books I’ve read ina real long while. This memoir of crime, mafia, jazz and boxing is absolutely riveting and the writing is top notch. A really inside look at the intersection of music, boxing and villains you really get the feeling that Farrell is pulling no punches because he certainly names names. If you like the sopranos or raging bull you definitely will like these real life stories. Read this book
