Gaspipe: Confessions of a Mafia Boss

20 reviews
Philip Carlo

Tantor Media, 2008

Gaspipe Rocks
Both my husband and me thoroughly enjoyed Gaspipe. Both of us come from Dyker Heights and thought Carlo's portrayal of the Mafia culture was eerie and uncanny. We note with dismay the posting here of R.J. Rios. I can only say that this fellow's sources of information are the three hundred books he says he read. That's woefully inadequate. The Mafia is all about secrecy. The Mafia is ...

Objects of Desire: The Modern Still Life

Dilbert in the Artplace
While doing research for an essay on the "Search for Postmodernism in a Modernist World," I purchased Ms Rowell's book, curiously titled Objects of Desire. At the very least, it was a questionable investment. However, it is indicative of what is wrong with the world of modern art [or even postmodern art] where pretentious jargon takes the place of actual description, reason or discussion as an ...

Color Atlas and Text of Pulmonary Pathology

1 review

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2007

Atlas not Shrugged but Praised
How is an Atlas of this magnitude compiled? It would seem that two necessary elements are a long standing tenure at the largest medical center in the world, and a mind with a memory of a steel trap. It is a rare but fortunate thing when a young man discovers his calling in life at a young age, but such was the case for Dr. Cagle, who began collecting lung research cases at 23 years of age and won ...

Pinnacle, 2000

An insightful and well-written account of true crime.
Philip Carlo certainly did his homework when researching the crimes of Richard Ramirez. After reading his unbiased account of what happened, I am now much more critical when selecting a true-crime novel. He tells the story just as it happened and lets you form your own opinions about Ramirez, good or bad. I disagree with the reviews that criticize Carlo for not giving his own opinion of Richard ...

The Ice Man
I have folloed the Ice Man tapes on TV and when I saw this book, I knew I would read more details of this Mafia man. The Ice Man did not dissapoint me and held my attention to the last page. I was able to understand why Richard Kuklinski became The Ice Man, he had a disturbing childhood which led him to murder. I was shocked by the murders that he committed and how Richard grew into a callous ...

Philosophy, History and Myths of Mathematics
The Mathematical Experience by Philip J. Davis and Reuben Hersh 1981 Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston Is all of pure mathematics a meaningless game? What are the contradictions that upset the very foundations of mathematics? If a can of tuna cost $1.05 how much does two cans of tuna cost (Pg. 71)? If you think you know the answer, don't be so sure. How old are the oldest mathematical tables? ...

Ice Man

St. Martin's Griffin, 2007

Had to put it down to exhale, many times
It's completely believable. (did someone say it isn't totally believable?) It was the first experience I'd had reading any first-hand telling by someone as he in his teens kills his worst bully. His cold disposing of that body and getting away with it. Horrific. But what was meaner than his own father? The ice-man was hit, bashed for reasons that weren't clear to him at the moments his father ...

Intriguing
Predators & Prayers is an intriguing and disturbing account straight from todays' headlines. A true page turner that kept me in suspense from beginning to end. This novel will be a subject for our next book club.
