It's sad that he passed away, but the guy was a no talent hack as a writer.

I think his book on Casso was a great read, albeit a little biased due to their prior "relationship" as neighbours, if it holds any real truth (his family having sunday dinner at the Casso's etc).

Sad that he passed, but as a writer he was okay. No Mark Twain, but his books were entertaining. Haven't bothered reading the book on Kuklinski. That guy is too full of shit.

Damn I woulda loved to see that interview!! Yea I did enjoy reading Carlo's books, mostly because he wrote about guys I was very interested in (Pitera, Casso, Iceman, etc) but I do realize alot of the shit he wrote was a bit fantasized (very fantasized in the Iceman book) but still enjoyed em. Someones gotta be able to dig up that Tommy Karate interview tho!!

I tried to use the Internet archive WayBack Machine to access the interview but no luck. You can access some of his old website but unfortunately the website crawlers didn't copy his interview page.

That's not the point. Writers are artists in their own little way. So they're open to the criticisms of anyone who plunks down the twenty bucks to buy one of their books.

I believe this interview was done with Mary Murphy, of CBS or one of the other major networks. Can anyone find it? Or is sitting on it? It would be a HUGE help if I could get my hands on it...

just a guess but I don't think theres a interview maybe he wrote a letter to capeci, but I would guess some one would post it. I remember he wrote gangland to talk shit about a witness.

I read all three of those books and enjoyed the Pitera and Gaspipe books. While the Kucklinski book was somewhat interesting,you could see right from the start that the BS was flying The author could have helped his credibility by looking more deeply into Kucklinski's claims

It's a shame that a boy was made into one of the most gruesome killers in that category because of constantly being bullied throughout his childhood for a thing as small as a high pitch voice.

Tommy for sure did an interview.


And as I said before that thing about Tommy having a freakishly high voice is 100% Carlo BS.

Don't take my word for it check out the book "Bringing Down the Mob" the agents mention he sounded like Richard Widmark in "Kiss of Death."

I don't know how you can say you know him, yet say the voice thing is BS. I know someone who was very recently his cellie and his voice is high pitched. So you saying his voice is normal is wrong, unless you hear differently than anyone else.

As far as i can tell, carlo almost never got his facts right on anything. He repeatedly allowed psychos to use his name to publish essentially highly positive apologetics about their lives.

No reason to think the voice thing is anything more then another bizzo carlo myth.


Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison.
I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate...
for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here

I strongly disagree.


Let me guess, you think Dan Brown is the greatest writer of the century (which compared to Carlo he is)?
