This memoir is a shocking and honest view of life in the author's harsh and accurate eyes. A true page turner, the story not only sheds light and intelligence on a subject plaguing our society today. "mADD man" is both informative and salacious.

Book buzz so far...

"Finally! A blunt but objective book that debunks LD/ADHD labels and exposes the unfortunate and limiting ways in which societal norms inhibit brilliance. Mr. Robinson's journey of interrupted genius is a first and important step toward a much-needed societal shift in which learning disabilities are celebrated...not diagnosed."
-Dr. Peter J. McDonald, PhD

"I really enjoyed the glimpse into the fascinating mind of such a powerful and gifted young writer." T. Krohn, Random House

You Must Read This Book… “Mr. New Orleans: The Life of a Big Easy Underworld Legend,” Matthew Randazzo V

Last week, on a late-night facebook binge, I felt sentimental and homesick for my beloved New Orleans. I began looking at my “friend” list to see what certain people were doing…eight years after graduation, four years after Hurricane Katrina.
I was pleasantly surprised (not really surprised) to find that a classmate of mine from childhood through high school had become an author and a new book was to be released the next day. Matthew Randazzo, a fellow history lover of mine (we took all of the AP’S together with our favorite teacher, Coach Hunter) authored a new release…

“Mr. New Orleans: The Life of a Big Easy Underworld Legend”

I immediately ordered the book on Amazon.com and requested next day shipping. The book came, and I did not put it down until the next morning.

Now…I am a busy woman…and after my long work hours and daily yoga ritual, I am not left with much free time.

This story, this history, this magnificent piece sheds a true light on what New Orleans “felt like.” Yes, New Orleans had a deep feeling and soul. Because of characters like Frency Brouillette, the gangster highlighted in the book, Matthew Randazzo V, the classmate who dressed as Fidel Castro for Halloween, and crazy New Orleanian’s like myself and Marie Laveau, New Orleans was the most interesting place on earth.

To rebuild the city does not restore it’s soul. The soul belongs to the people. I deeply thank Matthew for preserving the soul of New Orleans in this tale. READ IT, BUY IT, DON’T PUT IT DOWN!
