Book Reviews of Murder Machine (Onyx)
Book Review: The Real Godfather Saga
Summary: 5 Stars
This is just an excellent true crime book. It is about Dominic Montiglio who was a decorated Viet Nam War vet and Green Beret. Dominic also comes from a family that is heavily and highly placed in the Gambino Mafia crime family that ran/runs New York. It is first a story about a young Green Beret in Viet Nam and then it turns to him slowly becoming more and more involved in 'the family business'. It covers a lot of the history of The Gambino family that Dominic witnessed first hand. It then becomes a descent into madness as Dominic becomes involved and witness to one of the most brutal and vicious crews in The Gambino crime family The Roy Demeo crew. This was an actual crew with members who were all legit serial killers. They were known as The Murder Machine because they had their killings and the then dismemberment of the victim down to a science.
This is a really good book and one that you won't want to put down. Suprised that it hasn't been made into a major motion picture.
Book Review: Probably the most gruesome Mafia story ever told
Summary: 5 Stars
Parts of this book were really gruesome and sickening, but after getting through those parts the story was very interesting. I bought this book because someone else wrote that it was the best Mafia book that they had ever read. I agree with that reviewer. I have lived in New York all my life (a few years in Canarsie and many in Ozone Park, while teaching in Howard Beach). I have always been surrounded by "that life" but I never realized the lengths these people went to to get rid of people that crossed them. Killing wasn't enough...they had to destroy and dismember the bodies as well. The one thing that I would like to know is how the authors got so detailed a story when most of the people involved were dead by the time this book was written, and I can't imagine that anyone with inside connections spoke to them. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in the Mafia but keep in mind that parts of this story are degenerate.Book Review: The most pleasant book I've read in a long time.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was so incredibly sweet. It's so mellow and innocent, it's a really nice thing to read when you come home cold and wet, and all you want to do is curl up under the christmas tree with a nice, relaxing read. "Murder Machine" would be great to read to children, especially as a bedtime story. It's guaranteed to bring calm, pleasant, wholesome dreams. I love the warm fuzzy feeling inside that this book brought me with every sentence, such as "He picked up the heavy lead pipe and forcefully brought it down over his male lover's head. He heard the shattering of his skull and watched the fragments of bone hit the chandelier. Then he washed his hands and had some chamomile tea." How do you not love a book as sweet as that? Sometimes you need a novel that talks about the need for more chamomile tea breaks in the world, for if we all took some time out to sip some chamomile tea, the world would be a much better place.Book Review: The most pleasant book I've read in a long time.

Summary: 5 Stars
Murder Machine is a book that you will read over and over again, The reason- you wont believe how brutal the DeMeo crew was. This is the crew that made the mafia tremble. They were the ones who invented the unique method of "desmemberment". Since Roy who was in charge of the crew was a butcher years ago, He had a method of getting rid of bodies(oh about 200 or so). First they would shot the victum in the head, then stab him in the heart a few times to stop the bleeding, Then hang the body up-side down in the bathroom to coagulate the blood, so as not to make a mess. While the body is hanging, they sometimes would order up food and eat while the coagulation was taking place. Sometimes with boold on their hands. After the blood coagulated they would then chop up the body into 6 pieces. Put the parts into bags, the rest is history. Want to learn all about this murderous crew, then buy this MUST READ BOOK.
