Summary: PATHETIC BOOK ABOUT A PATHETIC LIFE
Review: I suspect that the vast majority of this books is a work of
"wishful thinking" and the results of reading too many "True Crime" stories while the author was in high school. Be that as it may, if only one tenth is indeed true, then the author has some major problems, on many different levels, the lack of ability to write leading them. Most of the book consists telling us just what a bright fellow he, the author, is, and just how brutal he was/is. The chronology of events is often completly
incorrect and the author's thoughts and deeds simply do not jive with those previously recorded. All in all, the books comes across as being written by a seventeen year old city kid who has watched the God Father movies one too many times. If only one tenth of the books is true, then I truely feel sorry for this kid and do wish him well. On the other hand, at least he did make an effort to write, and if the story be truely true, then he probably needs the cash. I am rather surprised he found a publisher though. NOTE: If the author reads this,and really takes offense, please blow up my old pick-up, not the newer cars - they are not mine, they belong to my wife. The truck is mine, and I could use the insurance money. Please be kind enough to make sure I or my dog are not in it. Thanks.

Summary: RE: Author is God
Review: I told you this book was all lies. The publisher just recalled all of the books, because Michael Pelegrino (AKA Gambino) is a fake and a liar. Maybe his career will go the way of some of his characters to the local landfill. Suggestion for your next book tell everybody your the real Santa Claus.

Summary: A HAUNTING READING
Review: Michael Gambino, grandson of the original Godfather, is the highest ranking member of the mob to record the secret workings of the Mafia. "I am going to show you what my life was like," he writes. I am going to make you feel the things I felt. You will find out, as I did, what the Honored Society is all about. This is a work of fiction, but the things I am talking about are real." His birthright is crime, assassinations, and secret ceremonies. Michael D'Angelo, a child of the feared D'Angelo crime family is schooled by his elders and earns his stripes on the streets of Chicago during the 1970s. His boyhood is brief, ending when he sees his first dead body. At the age of seventeen when other teenagers are going to proms, Michael makes his first hit. Only a year passes before he is a "made man," meaning he is accepted into the syndicates most secret and powerful echelon. His life's path is dictated by his peers and predecessors whose greed is voracious, whose cruelty knows no limits. Mr. Gambino brings us a candid picture of mob life, shattering in its honesty, haunting in its violence.

Summary: The Author Is A God
Review: Or atleast he thinks so. If it were up to Mr. Gambino he would have you think not only did he create the wheel but also every vehcile it goes on. I think he spent so much time reading and listening to stories about the mafia that that he actual believed himself to be the mafia. If Mr. Gambino only had writen the stories as they were told to him the book may have been ok, but probally not! The title should have been Mikey Gambino One Man Mafia .

Summary: dull writing
Review: Personally I hate bullies, which is just what the syndicate is on a grand scale. My librarian tho asked
me to give it a test run and I did, as far as I could anyway, which was page 48. The writing was just
too dull and simpleton. Mr. Gambino should of hired himself a good writer to breath some life into
the life.

Summary: The Honored Society
Review: Pure trash ! I read a wide variety of material and this book belongs at the very bottom. Contains no redeeming features for author or book. If one enjoys sloshing through the slime it may be of interest, otherwise cross this one out.

Summary: The Honored Society review by L.F.
Review: The Book The Honored Society written by Michael Gambino is an auto biography on his life in an organized crime family. Michael Gambino is very descriptive and talks about almost everything you can think of. Michael Gambino also talked about many of the problems faced by men in his profession so if organized crime or the honored society as Mr. Gambino would call it interest you then you would enjoy this book a lot.
The book begins with Michael as a young boy and continues with him rising rapidly through the ranks of a powerful Chicago organized crime family. In the book Michael Gambino tell you about loan sharking, shakedowns, the rackets, ext. The book is truly one of the best book I have ever read because of how deep he goes into detail.
The book The honored Society is interesting, entertaining, and it keeps you coming back for more. It's a book you just cant put down and believe me I read the book two times. I would have to agree with many of the opinions stated by Michael Gambino. For example Michael said he Mafia should be called anything but the honored society. I would have to agree with this opinion because there are many rats that would turn on you at any moment. You also may never know when you might have to kill your best friend or if may be the other way around. This book has affected me greatly. It changed the way I thought about the Mafia and the way it works.
Overall I think this book was outstanding. Michael Gambino covered everything possible and he covered it with so much detail that it was unbelievable. I strongly recommend this book to anyone that has interest in organized and to people that don't.

Summary: an incredible look at the mafia through a son's eyes
Review: This book is based on Micheal Gambino's life and how he saw the mafia growing up. I enjoyed reading this book. For once, no one portrays the Mafia as the greatest society to be a part of. He shows us what really happens and how people you believed were your friends, later betray you. Anyone who enjoys reading books about the Mafia will definately enjoy this book.
