The Definitive Oral History of the Sopranos

Woke Up This Morning

Dimitris Papastergiou

A really fun and interesting read for every Sopranos fan. Lots and lots of details and behind the scenes info with an ongoing interview throughout the book with most of the cast putting inside their own piece of what it was like to create the series and be in it.

I liked it, and it would be much more fun if I didn't follow the podcast beforehand, simply because there's lots of things written that they were already stated in the podcast, either from Imperioli or Schirripa or their guests. Not that that's a bad thing, it's just that I read again things and info I've listened while I was watching the series and after.

If you were to choose to buy the book or listen to the podcast, I'd say listening to them is much better and makes you feel closer to the cast, than to read a book about it. Of course there are more than just interviews here but still.

- If you ever go to an Italian restaurant and they serve pasta with sauce on top of clean noodles it’s American BS, they don’t know what they’re doing

- Have a couple of drinks, a good sandwich, a few laughs, and take care of my girls
