Book Reviews of the Murder Machine (Onyx)
Customer Review: Coulda Been a Winner
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
