Book Reviews of For the Sins of My Father: A Mafia Killer, His Son, and the Legacy of a Mob Life

Book Review: A Book Hard to Put Down
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is written from the perspective of a son of a top mob man. It's a sad story, recounting the author's youth and the way he finds out about his father. Life isn't black and white; there are alot of shades of grey and this book explores that. The author doesn't find his father's life "okay," yet he loves him as a son would. The father is written about as not only a loving father and husband, but as someone who is kind to animals. It really shows how people like this famous mob man can "split off" from their role as a loving father/husband to ruthless killer. A psychological study.
