A Goomba s Guide to Life Steven R Schirripa, Charles Finally, a Goomba guide for everyone that is one, knows one, or wants to be one Steve Schirripa is a great storyteller with a touching and humorous story to tell. Goomba Goombas were introduced in the video game Super Mario Bros and were the last enemy added to the game after play testers stated that the Koopa Troopa was too tricky as an enemy As a result, the designers decided to introduce the Goomba as a basic enemy.

I've known some real goomba's over the years, and I don't question Schirripa's goomba-ness. In fact, he sounds like guys I've known. And I guess that's what the problem was with the book for me. I've heard all this before.Now, I'm not a goomba. In my part of the country, a goomba wannabe is called a peckerwood. I hung out with some real goombas that I knew from around the neighborhood and through family friends. At one time I was all 'wood, but now I just have a little semi going.
Given that Schirripa smashes the world record for times saying goomba in a 200 page book (which in all honesty is now in the thousands) its an entertaining book. Bobby Bacala isn't a particularly gifted writer, and depends more on spewing out some rather obvious statements mixed in with solid observations. “You can tell the quality of a restaurant by the items on the menu, too. If they serve a pizza with pineapple and ham on it, get out at once. No goomba would ever, ever eat a pizza with pine [...]
I always pack this book when I am returning to college in the fall. It's a quick and easy read, but hilarious all the same. When I need a break from studying, I gladly turn to Schirripa's "guide". Anyone who knows anything about wiseguys will get a kick out of it.
Hilarious descriptions of growing up in NJ around all types of characters (some mafia-related), discussion on a type of lifestyle, and some great recipes!
Great book, even better recipes in the back of the book.
As a big fan of The Sopranos, this book should be right up my alley!
