Mob Daughter: The Mafia, Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, and Me!

The whole book was boring...poorly written.

Her voice was so monotone...no expressions, no enthusiasm, just blah! It made the boring book even more boring! I couldn't even finish it.

NO

I loved the way she wrote about her father/daughter relationship with Sammy. The love and respect they have towards each other is amazing.

She had no emotion in her voice throughout the story and she seemed to stumble on her words.

Even though Sammy did a lot of horrible things, I still felt sympathy for him. I know that seems strange but maybe it's because the story is obviously bias. If there was a story from a victim's family perspective, I probably would hate him.

Do I feel like I wasted a credit? No. The majority of the book is about Sammy. He is a very interesting person to read about, only I wish Karen would have shared more of her own personal experiences. Whenever she did they came off as afterthoughts.

The middle of the book is almost a repeat of the first half, but the pace picks up towards the end.

I am a big fan of Mon Wives, I guess that may be the only reason I tried this book. I do like Karin G, I just found her story a little boring. Maybe I expected something more "Soprano" like.

Maybe

Maybe.
Drita-kidding, not sure.

I can't remember the book, it's in my library but it's the story of a mafia's wife. loved that book too.

Her honesty throughout the book, expressing the pain she felt when her dad went to prison the second time and still there. I feel for her brother and most of all, for her innocent mother.

Yes, that part when her father went to prison the second time and she feels guilty about it. The whole book is amazing and moving.

Overall, i felt sad seeing how she had to endure, experience and live that life. I know it made her stronger and she's out of it, but going through it was totally hard! She is in my prayers and would love to get to know her someday. She is an amazing daughter, mother, sister and human being.

I liked the audio version better than the book.

Sammy the Bull

The life of a Mob daughter.

It was a decent book. I felt it could have contained more subject matter.

If somebody else had read this book without the ridiculous mispronunciations and poor phrasing this could've passed as a decent audiobook. This woman can barely read let alone put on a good performance.

This book is very self-indulgent. At one point I found myself incredulous over her saying that somebody was prejudiced against gangsters. I could have accepted this story if you were even slightly remorseful of her fathers work life.

If I have to hear the word fustrated again I'll be very fustrated.

Most of it.

I had high hopes that this would be great. It was so disjointed and self serving it was actually anger inducing. Someone's obviously recently taught her the word "livid" and it's quite apt.

Interesting, compelling,

It was interesting learn what it was like growing up in "the lifestyle"

Although I enjoyed the book, it was difficult at times to listen to Karen Gravano's monotone reading. I would consider reading another book by her

While I don't doubt the validity of the story itself, I don't think Karen wrote it at all. the narration sounds like she is reading it for the first time. Her style of reading is choppy and detracts from the flow of the story. It is clear she is not reading using punctuation with odd pauses where there aren't periods and breathless periods of would-be run ons. The story is interesting but I wish I had skipped this one in audio format and just read the book. Usually I find autobiographies better when the writer reads them aloud, but that is certainly not the case with this one.

I loved the story and wish it was longer! Would recommend to all readers! Enjoy!

Enjoying the story, but it should have been read by a professional. The reading reminded of a schoolchild, choppy and poorly narrated.

Seriously anyone but her

No
