I can count how many books I thought were five stars - and in my opinion this is a definite 'Five Star'.
Great book for those who like to read about the Mafia. The Ice Man is brutality straight forward ... tells it like it was and does not offer up excuses or asks for sympathy - NONE!
The Ice Man (Richard Kuklinski) picked the right profession for a serial killer - a Mafia Hit man. This man was not mentally stable and tries throughout his life to understand why such gruesome killings had no effect on his psyche!
The book not only details his Mafia hits and strange association with the Mob but is also straight forward about his numerous senseless (serial) killings and his dedication and love (albeit strange) for his family.
Carlo's writing is terrific - I was not able to set this book down.
