vix_reads's review against another edition
Not for me. Hearing about the type of man he was with his family and the tragedies of his upbringing was too much for me. This was my first try with true crime like this and it seems it isn't my genre.

although a very interesting read the graphic depictions of domestic and physical violence to women that were described throughout were a bit much. the author uses similar phrases or repeats sentences as well as whole statements many times through the book so gets very repetitive after a while. all round an interesting look at the life of a mafia hitman but could have been cut down a lot without all the repetition
