Review: WOW...what a different book. It kept my attention from start to finish. The author was real and honest in expressing his feelings and sharing his life growing up with a very famous actor.

Because he was so real, it added a quality of substance that every reader can take with them.

It is impacting.

.....And I love the ending!

Review: Your heart will go out to Leo Gorcey, Jr. as you read this book written about his father, Leo Gorcey: Muggsy, the "Dead End Kid." Years of heart-wrenching torment and thorough soul searching are visible in every word penned by this wonderful man whose account of a turbulent life with the Hollywood legend stirs up similar agonies for those who have encountered life in the household of an alcoholic. Leo, Jr. is a wonderful soul who has written mainly to inspire others that it is possible to overcome, while at the same time he has been able to release his own inner suffering and achieve forgiveness. Leo, Jr. is the true hero of this story as he tells us of his father's lifelong, unfortunate suffering and battling with a most afflicting disease, alcoholism, a disease that cost Leo Gorcey years of love and devotion extended toward his only son. You will not be able to put the book down. I recommend this book to fans of Leo Gorcey, to those who have lived within the depths of alcoholic despair, and to those who simply enjoy reading about life triumphant. God Bless Leo Gorcey, Jr. and believe in his quest to unravel the true legacy of Leo Gorcey, the original, one and only, "Dead End Kid."
