review 1: I just picked this off the library shelf on a whim. What a story. It was an audio book and the reader was supreme at capturing the Jersey accents and the voices of the different characters. I felt like I was there listening in on a recording device. I learned some useful stuff, such as, how to kill someone in a variety of ways using cyanide! It made me wonder if I have ever met a killer before and just never knew it.
review 2: "The Iceman" is a phenomenal book, but I really want to see the movie now because the killer in the book, Richard Kuklinski, looks nothing like the tremendous actor, Michael Shannon. Nothing at all. That said, the book by itself makes for an excellent summer read. This true story (Bonus points for taking place in my home state of New Jers
... moreey, whoo whoo!), follows an intrepid undercover agent as he trails and ultimately traps Kuklinski, a man given the title "Iceman" because he once froze a body for two years just to see what would happen. The book reads like a novel and it's very quick-paced. I read it in about a day and a half. I highly recommend it if you're into true crime. less

It was an easy read, wish there was more details into her personal life. But overall a good read.

A story about a mafia hit man. It isn't very well written & could have been so much better.

I like chronology in books, this one jumps from the 1980s to the 1940s. Movie was better
