5.0 out of 5 stars BELLA MAFIA, 12 Aug 2003
I have never read Lynda La Plante before and this book was a great starting point. Although it was long, it was far from boring and kept you turning the page. I read it in three sittings! My only gripe is that I think the info on the back of the book is too revealing. It tells you that the Luciano men are all killed and matters are left to the women to deal with. This in fact only happens over half way through the book and in my view spoiled it. It would have been much more enjoyable had you not known that all the men were going to croak it! Apart from this, the book is fantastic and includes romance and friendship as well as violence which you would expect from a mafia tale. Don't hesitate - BUY IT NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bella Mafia - Addicted to this book!, 16 Jul 2004
By Rosalie Athow (Northampton, England) - See all my reviews
Bella Mafia is the first book that I have ever read, non-fiction or fiction, that centres around the Mafia. The subject is fascinating as are the characters, and while it has it's moments of gore, it is extremely moving. The two Luciano grandsons being shot in their bed, while embracing each other made my stomach lurch, my heart sinking with sadness that all the crime and corruption involving the mafia could touch two innocent children. Really well written. A real page turner with some excellent twists and turns. I totally agree with a previous reviewer though - the back cover gives it away. You are almost waiting for the Luciano men to be killed off to start the story going, when that is only one part of the overall novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars In the same class as 'The Godfather' and 'The Last Don', 29 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Anybody who has read 'The Godfather' or for that matter any of Mario Puzo's novels is going to love this. This novel is full of everything you would expect from a novel about a Sicilian Mafia family: Love, Honour, Betrayal, Violence, Murder and the occassional tender moment thrown in for good measure! When you first see how long this book is your first reaction will be 'I'll never finish this'. However, this book soon takes a hold of you and you cannot put it down!! I finished it in less than a week and then turned back to the first page and started again. Enjoy it!!
