Rezensionen zu diesem Buch

gewaltig

An amazing book, a real pageturner ! It is the story of a Mafia family told about several generations. It is exciting, shocking and keeps you in suspence the whole time. It gives a good insight into the mafiaworld. It makes them human and at the same time you are shocked by the brutality and cruelty. I´ve read the book many years ago and I am still impressed. But it is not all buisness, there is love and passion as well, but the familybuisness comes first at all times.

If you want to...
