I read this book after reading all the reviews at Amazon, and thought it must be worth a go,talk about a world where men are supposed to be living under this code of "Honour" in Roy DeMeo and his cohorts you get a look at a crew that would butcher you (literally), for being in the same vicinity as them at the wrong time.Here is a guy that would think nothing of borrowing $100,000 of a loanshark, and then go and kill the guy the next day.No wonder Gaggi and Castellano himself eventually got tired of his gang and put a stop to them, they were almost flaunting the fact that they were breaking all the rules by being involved with narcotics, (there again, who in the mob isnt).Also nice to read about the Gambino family where its not all Gotti,Gravano,Castellano,I found Nino Gaggi to be quite an interesting if somewhat strange character who was from the old school background. Overall i thought Dominick Montiglio gave a good intersting account, but again like all informants, tries to glorify himself too much, and win the readers sympathy,as if it kind of pacifies him for doing what he did. A great success for Capeci and Mustain, defineatly worth a read if you like me want to read about the true life at the very bottom of the mob

Excellent from start to finish. My one critism of the book is that it maybe focuses too much on the main character Domininc. While being the nephew of a New York Capo (Nino Gaggi) he is not the most intersting character in the book. I would have liked the authors to have gone into more detail about the charasmetic killers, the Gemini twins. But overall a thorughly enjoyable read, this book would make a damn good movie, it would be interesting to see who would play the roles of the DeMeo crew.

Not a bad book but not one of the best. As with most mafia books it throws names at you thick and fast so remembering who is who and who killed who can be confusing at times. It could have probably been condensed a bit, some of the middle bits were a bit boring at times. Read it and did enjoy it but not as much as others read lately, Gaspipe and the Ice man to name a couple. The characters in those titles are also in murder machine so if you have not read these, give them a try.
Dont be put off reading it if you are a mafia book fan, it is worth the time but you will read better.

Great book if you like that sort of thing. Went too back and forth for me and got a little confused. There are better books.
