Summary: Awesome detail to reality of the mob.The only downside...
Comment: Right around the end of the book,they had an extreme fixation on the cops and the "demeo task force".COMPLETELY relieving any mention of the demeo crew,paul,nino,or even dominick (the main mob associated characters)Around the end the whole deal with the cops lives the half assed comparisons of the mafia members and the fbi agents lives.
These were the things that cut my attention down to that of a 2 year old.
More or less i was angered by the last chapter of the book not delivering what the rest had.Excitement, morbidity,hard times of wanna be soldiers,vivid detail,and most importantly the mafia
slayings it was just such a good read!
Well to make a long story short...
Buy the book its worth your time and your money.BUT dont be suprised when the progressive fall of the demeo crew means the progressive fall in your interest in the book.
Thank you for reading my review.

Summary: The scarriest book I have ever read about The Mafia!!
Comment: Muder Machine is by far the most unglamorous, bloddy, and probably most accurate book I have ever read on The Mafia. Most mob books were written from the point of view of one turncoat witness, who I believe tends to downplay their role or glamorize many aspects of being a wiseguy. Jerry Capeci paints the mob for what it is. A collection of viciouse and greedy theives and murderers. The book is essentially three books in one. The story of the brutal Demeo crew who were officailly repsonsible for 75 murders, and probably committed more. The story of Domnick Montiglio and his life growing up in That Life, and detailings of the inner political structure of the Gambino family. Also, it was great to read a mob book which spent alot of time telling the stories of the TRUE HEROES, the tireless police officers and The one DA who dedicate years to bringing down this unholy crew. These people are not movie stars, they are viciouse killers who enjoyed their work. The only reason I do not give the book the full 5 stars, is that so amny different characterss drift in and out of the storyline that it is sometimes difficult to remember just who did what at times. It was such an interesting read however, I will probably reread it, just to get the detials straight. If you like The Mob or just True Crime stories, you will love Murder Machine.

Summary: Human Butcha shop
Comment: You will learn that by reading this book, the most ordinary people can be the biggest scumbags around. Not this Sopranos crap with these idiots with there "look at me" outfits and flashy jewelry. That's just hollywoods image of mobsters. If you look at real mobsters most you don't even know what they look like. For example look at richard kuklinski, murderer of hundreds (hitman) had wife kids, nobody suspected.
Roy Demeo, Murderer killer of at least 100 people (butchered with boning knives) had a wife, kids, and kids went to good schools. nobody suspected.
The real scumbags killers aren't the sopranos type of guys, thats hollywood crap again.
Mafia people are not harvard grads, with great educations, like we seems to think they are, they are really criminals and thugs from the streets of brooklyn and elsewhere, drug dealers,car theifs, loansharks.
The guys who are the most vicious never really get the credit for being that way, people like john gotti do who was a total dope thats why he ended up in jail unlike carlo gambino. same with john gotti's dope son john jr. who he put in charge the guy was like 28 or something and went to prison for years, he's still serving time.
The sad part was roy demeo, it just confuses me because at some points he was a nice guy who felt sympathy (read his son's book) and others he just murdered with no feelings like they were bugs being squished. he killed his own best friend, and his other friends participated they were friends since youth. can you believe these scum? They kill they're own friends!
mafia life is far from romantic, it's sick
