A review by elllzzaa
Iceman, the confessions of a mafia hitman by Philip Carlo

3.0

I feel like when you’re writing something like this, a biography of a murderer who killed 100s, you have to stay detached and unbiased no matter your feelings but it was obvious from the very beginning that Carlo was singing Richard’s praises and was confirmed by Carlo himself in the epilogue. Carlo also repeated information a lot throughout the book, it quickly become redundant and annoying. I genuinely feel the book would be 300 pages shorter if all the repeated information were to be cut out.

Overall reading about the infamous Richard Kuklinski was very interesting, I do question the validity of his stories, who knows whether they’re true or not, and we’d likely never know, but it was incredibly fascinating.
