For the Sins of My Father : The Legacy of a Mafia Life

Rating:
Summary: Excellent read. Read in 12 hours time
Review: Very engrossing book. I think Albert did a splendid job on this. I read a lot of Mafia related books and tend to think some stories sound a little far fetched but I find myself to believe everything Albert writes is probably really accurate as opposed to some books. I found myself tearing up a few times while reading this because his emotions really come through in the pages of this book. Just the idea of this poor kid staying awake night after night to see if his father was coming home really hit me. I felt for Albert reading this. I also found it heart-wrenching how people outside "the life" constantly judged him for being Roys kid. I recommend this book if you want to see how the families of "The Family" had lived. I loved the whole story at the beginning with the rabid squirrel. It would make a great scene in a comedy movie. Anyway, I am glad Albert seems to have found peace and hope he has a very enriching future.

Summary: Albert is an amazing man and an Inspiration.....
Review: We all experience circumstances in life that we dont choose, but what can make them meaningful is how we endure and view them. Albert DeMeo is a smart, loving, sensitive, insightful man who has gained wisdom through living a life he did not choose nor did he become bitter. Albert shows a clear example of the human spirt, one that is resilient and kind. Albert looks at his father not in an angry "how could you put me through that" way but as one man who understands another man can and do fall from grace with a matter of choices they make. This book should be a format to teach people how cope,struggle, and ultimatly leave corruption behind them no matter how glamorous it may appear. Good job and well done.

Review: Well, I really wish I could contact Mr. DeMeo by email or whatever......I gave this book to my husband 2 days ago and haven't seen him since.....He even took it into the bathroom in the middle of the night for 2 hours!!! Thank you for writing this book for my husband to enjoy as usually he is NOT an avid reader...

Summary: Riveting story of a gang of serial murderers
Review: written (with help) by the son of Roy DeMeo - boss of "The Murder Machine" The story is from the perspective of Roy DeMeo's son who was an innocent five-year old child when his Dad, Roy , brought him along on his Sunday visits to the Ravenite Social club in the village. Unaware of his father's murderous business, Albert DeMeo learns the truth when he is working for the NYSE, and the book, The Murder Machine hits the best seller list. READ this book first, then read The Murder Machine.
