Summary: MAFIA FANS CHECK THIS BOOK OUT
Comment: This book is an incredible tale of the car theft crew of the Gambino crime family. It is hard to fathom that anything like this could ever happen. A story about Roy DeMeo, a gangster who is considered by the F.B.I. to be the most prolific serial killer in United States ever(!), and his crew of killers. John Gotti himself was afraid of DeMeo and his crew, so that in its self is a reason to read this book.A great story about the Mafia one that is very hard to put down and one that you will read again.

Summary: Candid and Realistic
Comment: "Murder Machine" was the most "out there" mob book I have ever read. I could not put it down. I was up all night reading it. It is unbelievably realistic, with "no holds barred." It is the candid tale of a real-life mob crew and goes into grisly detail describing their murderous antics. What amazed me about this book, were the numerous matter-of-fact murders committed by these guys. There was no remorse. They ordered cokes, pizza, and cut guys up, while eating and laughing all the way. They treated their hellish apartment behind the "Gemini Lounge" like a slaughterhouse. Montigilio speaks in unabashed detail about how they "iced" the victims, drained the blood out of their throats immediately after the kill, hung them upside down from hooks in the shower, and then cut and quartered them like butchers. Apparently, that was DeMeo's prior profession. It was gross, morbidly fascinating, and began to sound like men dressing out a deer or elk, except these guys were in New York City, and there weren't any elk around. He speaks of cutting and quartering the bodies and placing them in trash bags and dumping them at garbage sites. I was shocked and horrified, and wondered how these guys got a good night's sleep without having vivid nightmares. They did it all for money, prestige and membership in the mob. These guys would do anything to be made--even though the non-Italians were told over and over again, that they would never get made. Heck, even the Italians were not getting made. These guys even scared Big Paulie.
This book is a "must read" for anybody who wants to read about the glamour and guts of mob-life mixed together in realistic, day-by-day detail. Mob politics, jealousy, drug addiction, girlfriends and murders are all there. Studio 54 and its heydey and Big Paulie grace the pages along with psychopathic Roy DeMeo and his crew of mob miscreants. One of the best mob books I've ever read.

Summary: dont read this before you read...
Comment: please read 'For The Sins Of My Father' before you read this, because it's written by Albert DeMeo, who is the son of one of the gangsters talked about in 'murder machine'
