This book was slow and boring. I love to read but when I started to read this book I kept putting it back down.I eventually just put it away and found something better to read.

I purchased this book for myself because I am fascinated by organized crime. This was a fairly interesting account of the woman's role in "modern" US mafia. I wish the information was more in-depth, but it was an enjoyable read none the less.

If you read this book -- you can thank the author for making you dumber.

If you spent money on this book -- you can thank the author for wasting your hard-earned cash.

If you enjoyed this book in any respect -- then you can thank the author for her talent in writing fiction.

Not only was this book chock full of crap, it didn't at all confer with the people involved to get the facts straight. This is all hearsay and press coverage that anyone could dig up googling the subject matter.

Now, if you believe what the press tells you -- then you're a real sucker.

THE BOOK WAS GENERALLY GOOD, HOWEVER SOME OF THE FACTS ARE OFF. sHE SHOULD HAVE INTERVIEWED THE WOMEN BEFORE WRITING ABOUT THEM.

The title is appropriate. Clare didn't bother to confer with her subjects but rather got all of her information from bias sources.

The most accurate aspect of the book, insofar as it pertains to me, is the title, since Clare certainly did not ask any questions of me. From my perspective, it is little more than a smear-campaign and attempt to cash in on a popular topic.

I like books on the mafia. This was pretty good. Its a collection of many stories from mob wives or daughters. Most with bad endings. This was easy to read but the women in the stories are mostly all nuts like the one who married her first husbands killer. I really dont think men would like it though.

The author skillfully portrays the characters and (real life) plots of the book so well, I feel that I not only "know" the characters, but I have been there as well!

The author, I feel, is a writer in the league of Ann Rule...the pages flow together, and each "story" is better than the last!

I only wish the chapters were longer..I couldn't get enough!

The cover is interesting too...very eye catching!
