Summary: [...]
Review: as far as i could tell, the book was ok. the best part out of the entire book for me was the pictures but they should of added more. reading some of the chapters were so damn booooring. theye need to get better writers or something. is jerry capeci was the best writer of organized crime how come this book was so boring then? i see other books and then see only half truths and authors twisting the words and stuff. someone needs to write a real book that has the real truth, not making it up or just writing it to get publicity for Gotti's name which i find very sick bcuz the authors glorified and even said in the book in the first pages or so that they and lots or prosecutors and FBI agents and judges and attorneys all became bestsellers and very very successful because of John Gotti's name. I swear. Especially since they glorified in saying that in the book, i find that very disgusting and very low for people like them who are suppose to be professionals, especially gloating from the man who died of cancer. I wouldn;t care if he was osama bin laden, i thought the thing about the authors saying that they became successful because of Gotti's name is disgusting and they're making money because of it. that's very very low. Disgusting. and Spare me about how gotti was a criminal if you were an author writing about him, you wouldn't brag that you became successful because of his name. total lack or professionalism in my view and very disgusting. [...] Some of the stuff that he typed in the first chapters saying that John Gotti blew a basketcase about how his grandson said that he wanted to become a criminal and how he yelled at his grandson for saying that was such a exaggeration because i heard the tapes. Complete and total exaggeration. I guess with books of [...] like these, you have to be really careful about what the author writes because they can exaggerate the truth since this is part of the media thing after all. i give it only one stars cuz the pictures were the most interesting part of the book. Rest of it [...]. It disgust me that people would do anything to make money. I guess the disgusting thing is money makes the world go round.

Summary: gotti
Review: John Gotti started out as a nobody from Queens,New York, who would later become the biggest know name in the mafia today. After he assassinated Paul Castellano, the boss of the Gambino family John started to climb his way up in the mafia life.Through out the book the authors go into great detail about John and the family. John was always a fan of the press and media, he wanted his name to be know to all. That was also exactly what happend. John was the most feared man in New York for most of the 80's and the early 90's. After gettin extreamly popular the FBI and RICO started to fallow him and bug his hidouts and homes. In the mid 90's John and his two main men Sammy and Frankie were arrested and sentenced to life in prison.After that the Gambino family fell apart.The book Mob Star was thrillin and exciting. After reading the first chapter it was hard not to put this book down. The way the authors go into great detail about what is going on and how it happens, you feel like you were in the same room with john at every moment.Mob Star is a very fast reading book,only because you can not wait to see what John Gotti gets into next.I would recomend this book to anyone who likes the Mafia or just wants to read an excilent book.

Summary: The author Jerry Capeci and his book
Review: The book is a one sided story told by a man who is "obsessed" with John Gotti. Full of news reports that could be fact or fiction. This author has made a ton of money off the Gotti name and continues to do so. He will not let go, we know $$$ motivates him, we know the name GOTTI sells/promotes his web site, articles, and books, but could there be more to the relentless vendetta he has against JOHN GOTTI or is it in Italians themsleves. A dirty little secret?? The rumor is Jerry Capeci uses a pen name, and in fact he is of "irish" ethincity by birth. Could he have a hiddin agenda which motivates his writings of Italian Americans negative light????? Let us know Mr.Capeci!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Well done, Gene and Jerry
Review: The final chapter in John Gottis book of life. The prologue and postscript give the reader true insight to the late John Gotti and his final days existing in solitary confinement in one of the toughest correctional facilities in the American system.
This is a must read for anyone with the least bit of curiosity about the Mafia and it's late "Teflon Don".

Summary: Great read
Review: This book was accurate and for someone who is intrested and enjoys reading about John Gotti this is a great book for you to read. A little dragged out in some areas such as the Trials but very interesting. I enjoyed reading this book very much, as i believe you will as well
Rating:
Summary: Not what it seems, BORING
Review: When I picked this book up I thought I would get a nice history of Gotti. That was true to some extent but the majority of the book was devoted to the trials. If you are a lawyer or someone who is interested in that sort of thing then this book is for you. If you want a good read then pick up the Capeci book on Gotti,that is top of the line! You can also read this if you are having problems sleeping....
