Description Concering Books Gold Coast (John Sutter #1)
Welcome to the fabled Gold Coast, that stretch on the North Shore of Long Island that once held the greatest concentration of wealth and power in America. Here two men are destined for an explosive collision: John Sutter, Wall Street lawyer, holding fast to a fading aristocratic legacy; and Frank Bellarosa, the Mafia don who seizes his piece of the staid and unprepared Gold Coast like a latter-day barbarian chief and draws Sutter and his regally beautiful wife, Susan, into his violent world. Told from Sutter's sardonic and often hilarious point of view, and laced with sexual passion and suspense, The Gold Coast is Nelson DeMille's captivating story of friendship and seduction, love and betrayal.

mehIt was just okay. It needed some major editing. A whole lot of that book could have been cut out so that it didn't have to reach 400 pages. It was mildly entertaining, but if I didn't have this problem with returning books before I have read them I would have dropped this one long ago.I did enjoy the way in which it was written, which was more like the author was speaking with you in a conversation.a solid meh.DeMilles best, and one of my all time favorite books - if you read nothing else by him, this is the one. Its awesome. Very clever and sarcastic, well researched, set on the gold coast of long island with some mafia ties - I love love love this book and have read it like 6 times.
I thoroughly enjoyed The Gold Coast and was hooked from page 1. The plot was compelling. The main character, John Sutter, was hysterically funny and sarcastic. He is the narrator of the story, and so it was enjoyable to see his character traits, such as his snobbism, revealed through his telling of the story. Frank Bellarosa, the mafia don in the book, was actually a likeable character. I think that is one of the things that made the book fun reading about his crazy life and his Italian
I can't believe I gave up on a Nelson DeMille novel! I read over 100 pages and just couldn't get into it. Nothing was happening! Maybe I can give it another try later...
So disappointing. Maybe a book so hyped is bound to fall flat. But John Sutter is without doubt one of the most annoying characters of any book I've read. His humor got easily tiresome. I couldn't stand one more "capisce" or "mamma mia." (I'm Italian, my family comes from Brooklyn, and not even with 50 of us in one room during the holidays do I hear that many "capisce" and never "mamma mia.") One day Sutter is a Gold Coast snob (I'm from Long Island and his type and his wife's type really exist)
Great book. I have read this book many times. The characters are great, good plot, and lots of adventure. Interesting takes on life on the Gold coast, old money, etc.... Yacht clubs, country clubs, marriage issues. Nelson DeMille has written many good books, I recommend anything he has written as a good read. There is a second book to this also.
John Sutter is a lawyer living off of his wife's family fortune on the Gold Coast of Long Island. These people and their friends are snobs. John is a pompous ass who is going through a mid life crisis. He needs an adventure, a challenge. And lucky for him, this challenge moves in right next door in the form of the boss of the NY mafia. The two become aquaintances, friends, business partners, lawyer/client, rivals... The relationship between these two men, as well as their wives is sleazy, but
