Summary: a real cop out
Review: A lot of people are not going to like this review!After having read Franzese's first book, "Quitting the Mob", I found this one to be full of the same holes as the first one, only more so. For example: Franzese, by his own admission, stole hundreds of millions of dollars. What happened to it? How come the mob never came after him after he testified in front of the grand jury? What did he do to break parole and get sent back to prison? The real problem I have, though, is this: If Michael is really sincere about his faith and repentence, then how does he deal with his admissions on pages 400-401? MF admits that he infiltrated casinos, defrauded several major companies, stole hundreds of millions in his daisy chain scheme, etc, etc. If he is really sincere, why doesn't he pay this back????? (or, at least attempt to) In addition, MF intimates that he was involved in several murders, as well as numerous beatings. Is he making restitution? Don't make me laugh. I'm really not very interested in some career criminal telling me the uniqueness of the bible. I can't help thinking that this entire conversion is just another scam by Franzese.

Summary: OK
Review: For those who like books about the mob this is a reasonably good book. Be prepared though, Franzese is VERY determined to convince you that you should become a religous fanatic like him, and that because he is a true believer today, all his past sins are now forgiven. It is understandable why he would have that view on things, but depeding on your belief system, it becomes a bit of a drag in the end.
However, he is a great story teller and the book is easily read.

Summary: Amazing Story- I had no idea
Review: I am just amazed by this story. Michael Franzese was a REAL mobster. And he just walked away from it. I didn't think that was possible! This guy was the real deal, and he has the criminal record to prove it. Tried three times by Rudy Guliani, millions of dollars scammed from the government, and he just walks away-- all because of a girl!!!
The fact that he is still alive today is an amazing testament to his faith. I have learned so much from this book, not only about this life that I knew so little about, but about the ability for one person's life to make such an incredible U-turn. This is a MUST-read!

Summary: Fast-paced, mobster mega-work!!!
Review: If you are into the "Sopranos" or anything that's related to the Mafia, this book is for you. It's a super-charged tale of a man who was a kingpin in one of the five New York City crime families. This slick schemer was raking in millions a week, and then he decided it was time to do something that defied common sense. Want to know what? Then buy this book! You won't want to put it down!

Summary: Goodfellas in writing
Review: If you are not interested in snoring through 404 pages of garbage, add Goodfellas to your Netflix rental que. I mean this guy must have seen that movie ten thousand times, because his story goes line by line and phrase by phrase from that box office thriller and he still proclaims he had nothing to do with the death of numerous people close to him. I think he talks about religion far too much considering that he robbed people and did several stints in Federal prisons across the country. I don't buy much of his nonsense. I tell it how it is and that is the truth.

Summary: False Review
Review: There is no apparent truth to Michael Murphy's review of the book Blood Covenant. He falsely states that the author was recently indicted by the feds for new offenses. This is not true. Don't know if Mr. Murphy provided this false review intentionally or by mistake. Whatever the case, the statement is false and misleading to perspective readers. I suggest you seek other reviews on the book before deciding to read it or not....

Summary: And I Only Read FICTION!
Review: This is a fantastic book! It reads like a fast paced novel but is more incredible as a real life story. His previous life is only outshadowed by the life he now lives. Amazing.
