Book Description

Murder Inc., The Westies, Bath Avenue crew, The Purple Gang, Mad Sam DeStefano in Chicago, Nicky Scarfo, Vito Genovese, and of course Carmine Galante and his crew. All were extremely scary groups of people, but they don't hold a light to the Gemini crew. Roy Demeo was insane.After reading this book I don't think I'll look at organized crime the same. A lot of innocent people got in the way of these guys and paid for it with their lives. The whole time I was reading this book I kept thinking I was in a nightmare but I coud not put it down. THIS IS THE BEST MOB BOOK.EVER!!!!!! But not for the weak.

Reader Reviews

This turgid, way-too-long and ponderous book proved to be a major dissapointment. I had just finished reading the fascinating ICE MAN, a true-life study of a monsterous mafia killer. I was hoping for more of the same. Instead, this book goes into tedious, endless detail about the killers, their family ties, their interactions--but there's almost nothing about the actual killings. ICE MAN took specific cases and went into gory detail about how they were accomplished. in MURDER MACHINE, the authors throw us an occasional murder but give almost zero descriptive accounts of how these killings were done. So many characters are introduced that I had to finally start jotting them down to keep them apart. We're given unnecessary geographical descriptions that are a waste of time. The authors obviously spent a great deal of time writing this tome and I admire them for it. But after 300 pages, I simply had to call it quits. I found myself watching cable TV, with this book in hand, more than becoming engrossed with the pages of this book.
