Book Reviews of The Ice Man: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer
Book Review: A good fictitious read
Summary: 2 Stars
When you purchase this book be aware that it is an addictive good read and that what you are reading for the most part is fiction. Mr. Carlo excels in bringing to life what made the iceman tick. The horrific abuse that he suffered at the hands of this father and how that abuse created a monster, the torment and fear that his family lived with because of his rages and yet the love that they felt for him. That's the factual part of this book. The fiction part is his numerous headline making hits. ( I'm surprised that the John F. Kennedy assassination wasn't thrown into the mix.) Here are some thoughts on some of them. Fact: An outsider, a non-Italian would never be used to kill a made man in any family, if someone did use one, they would be quickly killed by their own family. Fact, there are no schools of man-eating sharks off the cost of Brooklyn to feed victims to. Fact: Three white guys walking into a Harlem bar and opening fire with automatic weapons would have caused a race riot. It would be front page news on every N. Y. Paper and the FBI would have been quickly called in, the shooters would not have been able to "slip away" as if nothing happened. Fact: Following someone off one the belt parkway exits in Brooklyn, lead to some of the most congested streets in the city. there would have been thousands of people walking, driving, and shopping, killing someone in the middle of these streets and then making a clean quiet getaway would have been impossible, also, once again, this kind of road rage killing would have been given top priority by the NYPD and the press.
