So how many of you have read "Murder Machine" ??

I ordered it and it will be here shortly. How good is this book?

Me. Pretty good. I finished it which means it was passable. It put Gangi, Castellano & Demeo in perspective & was well written. I guess it was a strong 7.5 out of 10.

I've started the book and man this sure gets off to a very slow start in the first chapter.

It's good. I like the books about 'street level' stuff, and Murder Machine is just that.

its a good book but read sins of the father for better info on the demeo crew. However albert makes his father out to be sort of an angel so you have to take things he says with a grain of salt

My favorite mafia book.

Very good read.

Its getting better as the pages turn!

i loved it but figured getting alberts book would be repetitive...has anyone read both - worth reading?

notice how there is not one word mentioned in that book about a certain hitman?

Well Nino,

I finished it yesterday morning. Very good book.

Yes I know "HE" is not in there.

First mob book Ive ever read and most definitly one of my all-time favorites. That being my first read, you can see how i was hooked.
Roy DeMeo's son Albert wrote a book called For The Sins of My Father and that was also a pretty good read. Not repetetive to answer ur question. It details a camping trip Albert went on with Roy and the Gemini Twins,and how his father was acting the day he was made and the day he was killed.For the Sins Of My Father is a very good book.

Kuklinski?

Great book. I'm not gonna elaborate on anything mentioned in the book. But I will say once things get rolling its a non-stop bloodbath

I thought it was pretty good. Very complex story.

now read "for the sins of my father"....perfect follow up to murder machine. very interesting book..

yes....i am a strict non-fiction guy....after reading Iceman, i feel like i am also a fiction reader....i wouldnt be surprised if the feeding live people to rats was also bs...

i loved the book, but as i read other books, look at this board etc....it seems a lot was fabricated...

Kuklinski' s book was without doubt filled with bullshit false claims. I mean the guy is claiming responsibility for murders that other people have long already admitted to and been convicted of. Complete clown

murder machine is a great book, i enjoyed it.

So how's this book written, matter of factly or with an obvious bias?

Very objectively, from an investigative reporter's point of view.

i dont even need to read it i know its bullshit.the closest the guy came to being a wiseguy was carrying caberts coffee.

Great book.they were brutal and this picture of big Paul as a kinda cleaner gentler boss them most is bs.he was ordering murders left and right

Best book I've read along with the westies,as for "the iceman" I liked the growing up parts & his family life stories,but didn't finish it after all the stuff about killing Paul,carmine & Roy,I knew it was all BS plus the stuff about feeding people to rats and feeding one victim to sharks with the demeo crew also the stuff about flying to Cuba to kill a drug kingpin & his men,not to mention the "Million dollar diamond mine he owned,also I blame Carlo for romancing all his claims he did the same shit with casso,promising to split the money made from sales with casso and after the book came out he never paid him just pocketed the cash for himself.
