Growing up the, "Son of the Mob" is very difficult for Vince because he doesn't want any part of the family business. The author has made Vince's struggles funny and entertaining since Vince is in the Luca family and in love with an FBI agent's daughter. Yet, I think the point the author is trying to make is that growing up and finding our independence is a difficult struggle for everyone. So I would conclude that the main theme of this book is that growing up and becoming independent adults is a struggle. You are currently in the midst of this process. Can you identify with any of the struggles or conflicts Vince is having?
