Hitman: The Untold Story of Johnny Martorano, Whitey Bulger’s Enforcer and the Most Feared Gangster in the Underworld Audiobook

" A much better book than I expected, since I'm not a big Howie Carr fan. It will be interesting to see what Johnny's role in Whitey's upcoming trial will be. "

" Unbelievable! This book is proof that real life can be crazier than fiction. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It was hard to keep all the "characters" straight but once I just realized it would be nearly impossible, it was much easier to get through. Highly recommend. "

" The first half was a little boring because there were so many unfamiliar names to keep track of. The second half, which zeroes in on Whitey and Stevie was much more interesting. I think this book would appeal to mob story afficionadoes and Bostonians. "

" I love any book about Whitey Bulger "

" The impact of the Bulger brothers on the political and law enforcement landscape in Boston is still felt today. The only good thing about Martorano is that he got oissed off at them the result of which blew the whistle on the entire operation. "

" I hate Howies politics but loved this book.A seedy story of the gangsters that ran the city for 40 years,it reminds me of when the Town was a backwater and not the gleaming place it is now "

" Good book. Should read "The Brother's Bulger", "Black Mass", and "The Underboss" as well. "

" straight forward look at Boston Mob scene. tales of backstabbing, murder and money allthe classics. Although the Boston scene was no where near as sophisticated as NYC scene "

" It was great especially if you are interested in the Boston Mafia and organized crime history. Howie is an excellent author and I enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to getting his other book on Whitey Bulger. "

" Once again, Carr produces a gripping and informative read, despite certain technical flaws in his composition. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in crime history, particularly with organized crime in Boston. "

" Of course I adore the author and his radio show. However I don't really care about gangsters so this book was a little boring for me. There are a lot of names to keep track of. I wish there has been a family tree of gangster names to help keep them straight. "

" He got the Stevie Hughes murder completely wrong he was killed bringing groceries into his pregnant wife in Charlestown they missed killing his wife by 2 minutes. The rest of the book was the same stuff I've read in all the other Boston gangster books. "

" It was an ok book. A bit slow and confusing at times though. "

" This book was disappointing. It reads like the Boston telephone directory...an endless cavalcade of names, aliases, and relationships, with very little continuity. With Whitey Bulger's capture in the current news, it was a timely book release, but "timely" doesn't always count for much. "

" Ironically I finished this book the day before Whitey was arrested. Found this a lot more interesting than expected. Martorano is a more compelling character than I would have otherwise assumed. "
