Histoire
To Don Raymonde Aprile’s children, he was a loyal family member, their father’s adopted “nephew.” To the FBI he was a man who would rather ride his horses than do Mob business. No one knew why Aprile, the last great American don, had adopted Astorre Viola many years before in Sicily; no one suspected how he had carefully trained him...and how, while the don’s children claimed respectable careers in America, Astorre Viola waited for his time to come.

Histoire
From July 10, 1943, the date of the Allied landing in Sicily, to May 8, 1945, when victory in Europe was declared - the entire time it took to liberate Europe - no regiment saw more action, and no single platoon, company, or battalion endured worse, than the ones commanded by Felix Sparks, who had entered the war as a greenhorn second lieutenant of the 157th "Eager for Duty" Infantry Regiment of the 45th "Thunderbird" Division. Sparks and his fellow Thunderbirds fought longest and hardest to defeat Hitler.

Histoire
On December 16, 1944, Hitler launched his "last gamble" in the snow-covered forests and gorges of the Ardennes in Belgium, believing he could split the Allies by driving all the way to Antwerp and forcing the Canadians and the British out of the war. Although his generals were doubtful of success, younger officers and NCOs were desperate to believe that their homes and families could be saved from the vengeful Red Army approaching from the east. Many were exultant at the prospect of striking back.

The story of how The Godfather was made is as dramatic, operatic, and entertaining as the film itself. Over the years, many versions of various aspects of the movie’s fiery creation have been told - sometimes conflicting, but always compelling. Mark Seal sifts through the evidence, has extensive new conversations with director Francis Ford Coppola and several heretofore silent sources, and complements them with colorful interviews with key players including actors Al Pacino, James Caan, Talia Shire, and others.

General Chuck Yeager was the greatest test pilot of them all - the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound...the World War II flying ace who shot down a Messerschmitt jet with a prop-driven P-51 Mustang...the hero who defined a certain quality that all hotshot fly-boys of the postwar era aimed to achieve: the right stuff. Now he tells his whole incredible life story with the same “wide-open, full throttle” approach that has marked his astonishing career.

For years, the DeCavalcantes, the most powerful Mob family in Jersey, labored in the shadows of the more famous families in New York - the likes of the Gambinos and the Columbos. Dismissed by the big-city capos, the DeCavalcantes finally came into their own when they found their lives mirrored in the television hit, The Sopranos. Overnight it legitimized the made men of the Garden State. Now they were a familia to be reckoned with. Unfortunately with high profile came high risk.

What story begins in a bedroom in suburban New Jersey in the early '60s, unfolds on some of the country's largest stages, and then ranges across the globe, demonstrating over and over again how rock and roll has the power to change the world for the better? This story. The first true heartbeat of Unrequited Infatuations is the moment when Stevie Van Zandt trades in his devotion to the Baptist religion for an obsession with rock and roll.

Description
The definitive oral history of the landmark television series and streaming hit The Sopranos, packed with untold stories from behind the scenes and on the set. Stars Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa - whose Talking Sopranos podcast has become a sensational fan favorite - talk intimately with virtually everyone who has been involved with the show. And they're ready to spill it all.
Who made the phone call that got HBO to launch The Sopranos? What’s the significance of all those eggs? And, what the hell ever happened to the Russian? Michael Imperioli, Steve Schirripa, and the entire cast and crew of The Sopranos have all the answers - and they’re revealing where all the bodies are buried.
Inspired by the incredibly successful Talking Sopranos podcast, The Sopranos stars Michael Imperioli (Christopher Moltisanti) and Steve Schirripa (Bobby Baccalieri) will finally reveal all the Soprano family secrets in a surprising, funny, and honest new book. Woke Up This Morning will be the definitive behind-the-scenes history of the groundbreaking HBO series that became a worldwide cultural phenomenon, ushered in a new Golden Age of Television, and to this day continues to be one of the most binged shows of all time.
Expanding on the podcast with exclusive interviews with the cast, crew, producers, writers, directors, and, of course, the series creator David Chase, Michael and Steve will tell all the incredible stories that The Sopranos fans have been waiting to hear for more than 20 years. The book will cover the entire history of The Sopranos series from the original concept pitch and casting to the infamous cut to black - and answer many of the thousands of fan questions sent to the podcast, as well as dispel some widely propagated myths and reveal things no one outside the show would even know to ask.
The audiobook edition is read by Michael Imperioli, Steve Schirripa, Adam Grupper, Aspen Vincent, Chris Ciulla, Christina Delaine, Dan Bittner, Eliza Foss, Eva Kaminsky, Fred Berman, Geoffrey Cantor, James Lurie, Jason Culp, Kathleen McInerney, Lisa Flanagan, Nancy Peterson, Oliver Wyman, Richard Ferrone, and Suzanne Toren.

Fantastic story by great Storytellers
Steve and Mike masterfully shepherd a stable of talent with so many great "behind the scenes" tales from the best television series to ever grace the screen. Great work, everyone. Thank you once again!

Mutual Admiration Society
Firstly, I loved the TV series. I started this book hoping to find some background information and behind the scenes stories. And to be fair, it did have lots of that. But ughh, the continuous mutual admiration is just too much. I'm a few chapters in and I don't think I'll be able to complete it.

Really frustrating if you’ve listened to the podcast
I’m a huge Sopranos fan and wanted to love this, but I feel like it was marketed completely inaccurately. There’s nothing new here if you’ve listened to the podcast. I already knew every single story and recognized so many sections as direct transcripts of podcast interviews. (And one huge advantage of the podcast is that you actually hear the actors’ real voices. Here, you’ve got Michael and Steve, but the rest of the voices delivering the interviews are not the actual actors but people who sound eerily like them! I found this so distracting and odd.)
Save your money and listen to the podcast. This is a transcript, not a book.

Sopranos fans must listen to this audiobook
I love The Sopranos, the fictional characters, the actors who brought them to life, the unparalleled writing, the laughing out loud humor, the fascinating parts about organized crime and, of course, the superb music used to elevate and enrich the experience.
I have watched the series 3 times and now I am re-watching it with my wife due to the fact that HBO added audio descriptions which also offer a lot of insight into the story and the characters. Really excited that they did this in 2021.
This is one of those incredibly rare shows that gets even better every time you are watching it again. The Woke Up This Morning audiobook dives even further into all the events surrounding the show and each of the guests will share with us those facts in their own voice, which I always appreciate.
I’ve been waiting for this audiobook for a few months now and today I am really excited to be able to finally listen to it. From cast members to writers and other people involved with the production, each of them will tell their story about how they were a part of The Sopranos.
The Talking Sopranos podcast is also a great resource for those who love the best show in the world and I highly recommend it as well to real fans.
If you are the fan that I think you are, you cannot pass the opportunity to listen to this audiobook! And, by doing this, you will discover behind-the-scenes details about our favorite show.

Not a fan of the "fake" arguing or stilted dialog
If you have listed to the Talking Sopranos podcast you will know that Michael and Steve get into it sometimes over fan theories. Steve doesn't believe any of them and Micheal gives credence to some of them. I'm not a fan of that on the podcast but at least it feels organic. In this book it's dated and forced. In two years no one will know about the podcast and these reenacted arguments will sound even more out of place than they do today.
Also, the dialog between Mike and Steve is stilted at times. Maybe it looks good on paper but spoken aloud it doesn't sound like they are having a conversation. In some places it sounds like Michael is mailing it in.
The book itself is okay. If you listened to the podcast you probably already heard 70% of the content. Still, well worth the credits if you have a ton of them like I do.

Listened to the podcast? This is a transcript.
Nothing new if you listened to the podcast. Don't waste a credit. I could be wrong but it seems like the other narrators imitate the guests.. It's jarring. I heard literally everything on the podcast via YouTube. It's free. I recommend getting The Sopranos Sessions. They did fantastic job and the narration is much better.

Liked it, for the most part.
I only recently discovered the Talking Soprano podcasts. I was excited about the prospect of starting with the first podcast and working my way to current episodes. Then I noticed that most podcasts ran well over 2 hours, which I found a daunting prospect for binge-listening. So rather than feeling disappointed that Woke Up This Morning is derived from those podcasts, I was thrilled. The Sopranos was such a wonderful series, and I loved learning about the many facets of its production as related by the actors, directors and behind the scenes staff. But that leads to my one disappointment with the book. The actual voices of participants in the show are not recorded in the audio version, either in most cases or in all of them. I found it disconcerting to hear Steve and Michael fake speaking to the individuals they interviewed and have the responses delivered by actors who in many cases sounded nothing like the real people they were meant to portray. That was rather off-putting. But most importantly, the content remained interesting and enlightening. I’m not sorry I added this book to my library. I’ll take my time enjoying the podcast episodes so that I can listen to the actual cast and production staff.

Great Book, But... (Audio version)
Excellent repertoire between Michael and Steve; however, they did not have the actual actors in the audio. Somewhat disappointing. Expected to hear from the actual actors, Lorraine, Edie, Jamie Lynn, Robert, Jerry, et. al. and not voice actors.
What a shame. Disclosure should be included in beginning of audiobook.

Quasimodo predicted this
You need this book if you love the sopranos. This pulls back the much needed curtain on the show and tells us (from the pov of the artist) the way the sopranos came about. You will hear stories from almost everyone who was on the show and you will fall in love with them. GET THIS BOOK- ITS NOT BORING!

Amazing return to the sopranos world.
This book brings me to tears hearing stories about Jim Gandolfini. Miss his presence in this world tremendously but Steve and Michael do an amazing job telling these wonderful stories of what transpired during the filming of the sopranos. Thanks for bringing us back guys!
