This is without any doubt the best book in the 'Most evil ...' series there is. It's hard to put down, because of all the new facts (new to me anyway). It gives a great insight into the lives of some of the most cold-blooded, murderous mobsters. 5 star +

2.0 out of 5 stars Badly Written, Repetitive and Inconsistent, March 30, 2005

This review is from: THE MOST EVIL MOBSTERS IN HISTORY (Hardcover)

...other than that, it's a great bargain.

The research into the lives of each mobster is shallow and secondary at best. The writing is British style book which, considering the subject matter, seems contradictory. Finally, you read a chapter purporting to be biographical and finish realizing that you don't really have a sense of the person at all.

If you've never read anything about historical American organized crime figures, and plan never to read anything about them again, this might be just the book for you. After finishing it, you'll have little to no desire to do so.
