4.0 out of 5 stars A CAUTIONARY TALE
This is a true story written by Rosalie Bonanno, wife of Bill Bonanno (deceased). Rosalie gives a glimpse into what life with the mafia is truly like for a woman and her children. This is a fast read and great for anyone interested in the innerworkings of a Mafia family.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of paper, both book and currency
The PR for Mafia Marriage isn't accurate -- the authors did not give a deep look inside the Mafia in any respect. Bonanno seems to have very shallow values, and never comprehends, apparently, that both her own family and her husband's family were engaged in real crime. Every arrest (and there were several) caught her by surprise; the FBI agents parked outside her house...

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of paper, both book and currency, May 24, 2010
This review is from: Mafia Marriage (Mass Market Paperback)
The PR for Mafia Marriage isn't accurate -- the authors did not give a deep look inside the Mafia in any respect. Bonanno seems to have very shallow values, and never comprehends, apparently, that both her own family and her husband's family were engaged in real crime. Every arrest (and there were several) caught her by surprise; the FBI agents parked outside her house were embarrassing, and she was proudest of her cooking accomplishments, the knack of feeding a dozen last-minute Mafia figures. And yet, she never wondered where the money came from, or really, why there were so frequently armed bodyguards around.

Mafia Princess seems to be better: at least the author understands that the family business is crime.
